    Without research, how do you view the Amish people and their cultural, religious lifestyle?

    A lot of you that don't know about them or may have never even seen an Amish person before. What is your take?

    If an extremist group of Amish murdered 3000 Americans in the name of the Amish, I wouldn't want them to raise a barn in that location.

    I think Fundamental Christendom should follow their example and sequester themselves from the society that they clearly loathe. At some point, if they don't inbreed too badly, they might realize that the tail clearly does NOT wag the dog.

    Strangely enough, a country founded on those principles is the country that provides the most opportunity and the most freedom in the world.

    There is a small Amish community in Ohio between Defiance and Ft. Wayne, In that my brother and I used to drive through all time when we'd go out for a country drive and burn some hippie lettuce. Never had a problem with them and they helped us out when our car broke down. Very nice people.

    The primary scribe and composer of American do ents of import like the Declaration and the Cons ution was Jefferson. He was FAR more influenced by John Locke than by God the Father or Jesus. Locke was the first English speaking voice to advocate separation of Church and State.

    Christianity propaganda fail.

    Was our country founded on Judeo-Christian values or not?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judeo-Christian



    "In our country, ‘Judeo-Christian values’ is shorthand for a complex idea: the common culture of the American majority. The values are called Judeo-Christian because they derive from the complementary ideas of free will, the moral accountability of the individual rather than the group, the spiritual imperative of imperfect man’s struggle to do what is right and the existence of true moral law in the teachings of Christ and the Jewish prophets. Along with the Declaration of Independence and the Cons ution, they are the political and cultural heritage of the Founding Fathers. The declaration and the Cons ution define the source and the limits of state power. But they do not tell us how a moral life within this society should be led. While they have provided a durable structure for America’s success, only Judeo-Christian values, freely held by the majority, explain its continuing realization. These values are not identical with the Christian religion, although they manifest its universal insights. Americans, as the Founding Fathers hoped, uphold the Cons ution, but live according to “Judeo-Christian values."

    Wonder if he recalls McVeigh's remarks about the timing and his motives. They were not unrelated to his creed.
