You can re-write history all you want but the first amendment to our constitution stated that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. This was so important to them that it was the first thing they wanted documented. If they wanted America to be a Christian nation, don’t you think they would have mentioned that? The fact is, most of the founding fathers were Christian but they would die defending the right of any other religion meaning that America is not a Christian country, it’s a free country.

Christianity is not the only religion that believes in a higher power.

Brush up on theology, please.

You know, I just looked and saw that my bio is not on this site. I forgot that it wasn't, but it can be found here: http://www.publiusforum.com/about-2/ I apologize for my forgetfulness.

“But, “finding out how my mind works,” might be the road to madness! Ha, ha.”

Well, if you say so yourself, I’ll just give up.

But I did try to find your bio around the site. I couldn’t. So, I am sorry we are both going to miss a good opportunity for mutual education. I tried…

Farewell.

Ah, gotcha. All I can say is that I come from the direction of first having read a lot of history books, especially of the founding and the civil war. As opposed to being influenced by the distorted views of contemporary advocates, I was interested in history long before I started worrying about politics. So my reading of history influenced my politics, not the other way ’round.

But, “finding out how my mind works,” might be the road to madness! Ha, ha.

@ Warner Todd Huston:

I see that you are skilled at presenting your ideas in writing – and I am not saying that I agree or not with them. But I will take a look at your bio and try to understand what the fundamentals of your position(s) are.

Spinoza: “A man is the man and his circumstances” – or something to that effect. Before opening my mouth – I mean, before posting anything agreeing or disagreeing with you – I must find out how your mind works.

That’s why.

@ Warner Todd Houston:
I am curious about your background.
Would you be so kind as to tell us something about yourself (nothing personal, of course)?
