Ha, this "artist" is a propagandist as I thought. HE would like to tear up the first amendment and institute a Theocracy: "I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between church and State." `Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Association.
@wintereis57 Why are you bagging on someone and labeling them as a propagandist for sharing what they truly believe in? You obviously watched the video for a reason? What drove you to watch several of his videos? The artist had no intention whatsoever in tearing up the first amendment. He's using his talents to share what "HE" believes in. Last time I checked there isn't anything wrong with that. You must be one of Obama's henchmen.
@gwright3511@gwright3511 I watched several of his videos so I could get a better understanding of this man. You'll notice in "the Forgotten Man" that he has Presidents looking mournfully at a torn up constitution. Several of those Presidents violated the constitution themselves like Adams and the Alien and Sedition acts and Lincoln and his suspension of Habeas Corpus. This man had a particular axe to grind. He has a right to do so, but I also have a right to call him out on it.
@BLARGHALT You pagan! You is takin heathenism to the wrong place mister! America is a land founded on christian values! YOU DON UNDERSTAND CAUSE YOU IS A DEMECRAT! You probably vote for obama, that nazi socialist!
Mr. McNaughton got it spot on. Don't pay any mind to the naysayers. Those who stand with God and whose eyes are open can see what is happening. Excellent painting and truly inspired.
You all should watch the youtube video titled The Founders' Dark Side and see if you're still sympathetic to the founders. Seriously, it's only a minute long and it covers so much that they don't teach you in school.
If I was Jewish, Muslim, Hindu or any other religion other than Christian, I'd be disturbed by this painting. I'm a Christian and I dislike the Conservative Religious Right's shoving of their values down my throat and everyone else's. Our country provides for freedom of religion within the Bill Of Rights. This painting is a cheap shot at Progressives and it's time the Republicans stopped using Jesus Christ as a weapon to further their political goals. I don't think Jesus would approve!
my friend you are deluding youself.if the founding fathers were influenced so much by the judeo christian god as your video talks about, they would have made the pledge of allegiance themselves and put in that phrase.don't forget, the founding fathers were very enlightened, educated and informed men, much like today's intellectuals who are as you quote "secular champions".and i'm pretty sure they were not driven by the dogmatic beliefs of the judeo christian faith whule framing the constitution
well thats a while AFTER the founding of the nation " one nation under god " has NOTHING to do with the founding fathers
of course the founding fathers were religious but they all agreed there is no place for religion in government hence the strict seperation of church and state
how do you americans still manage to stuff this up is truy beyond me

@Dtlp76, thank you for suggesting that President Obama be "hung from an oak tree." One of the great byproducts of the First Amendment is allowing us to see quite clearly who's not intelligent enough to be included in the debate. Have fun burning in whatever hell it is you believe in, you bigoted piece of 'Neck excrement.
Actually, the country has been in steady decline from pretty much around the same time when presidents like Bush marketed their religion and evangelical movements gained influence in American politics. Education and science has collapsed in regions where evangelicalism surfaced, and the wars started by strongly religious presidents has made the international standing fall..
Correlation isn't causation, but the growing influence of religion in the USA sure as hell isn't helping
As far as I know, every one of us is above every God claimed by man. Why? Because we are real :P and superior in terms of morality and rational thought.
@alo754: There's a fool on every page. You really think all of this perfection in ecosystem interactions came from a "big bang" explosion? All matter has a source, using a scientific definition. So, where did the original matter come from that created the "Big Bang." Nothing comes from nothing. So, what was the source of matter that created the supposed "Big Bang."? Something science has never been able to answer.
@DCTroubador Looking back, I have not found a comment on this video where I claimed to support the big bang theory ( though I do based on the evidence). But because science does not have the answer to every single question, does not make any religion any more plausible, and anyone who says otherwise is not worth acknowledging because it would be an argument from ignorance. Allso, science implies that relaity has always existed in one form or another based on the Law of Conservation of Energy.
@alo754 And if I am a fool, I do not mind at all. If I am wrong about something, I would love to learn about xyz... Everyone is an idiot about something, and we should not let our ego get in the way of fixing our lack of knowledge about a subject.
@alo754: "But because science does not have the answer to every single question, does not make any religion any more plausible, " It also doesn't make any religion less plausible. "All matter has a point of origination" premise of science. If you can't point to point of origination of the matter. Then can't say there isn't a "God." Assumption as core of reality, foundation upon which is built, undermines whole integrity of the argument. To assume is to not actually know. :)
@DCTroubador What I was trying to say is that if there is not a single christian/islamic/religious claim that is supported by evidence (holy books do not count, othwerwise the argument transforms into a circular one), then there is no logical reason to be part of a religion; with the exception perhaps of avoiding a hell, but hey, there are infinite ammount of probable deities and hells for that matter since you cannot rebut the probability of a coca-cola that punishes everyone after they die.
@alo754 In other words, if there is no evidence for a religion, do not be a part of it. I will agree that I cannot say "I know there is not a god", but I can say that I do not believe in the existance of the gods of every religion because they still have not been proven to exist.
@alo754: Well, I guess in the end all will be told. But, genius minds like Einstein hedged their bets on there actually being a God in some form or another. Not a place I want to hear "I told you so," in the end when it's too damn late to change a thing. :) Arrogance comes with a price. Not one I would be willing to pay through eternity in the furtherance of my spirit. To each his own. :)
Having said the below and not agreeing with the intention of the painting, I still like it. Because, to me, it represents how much we have disconnected from our own spirituality, and thus have disconnected from ourselves and each other. It's nice to think of a society where people really look at each other and see not strangers but human beings just like themselves, despite our differences. Belief in something greater than yourself helps to accomplish that, regardless how you label it.
PS: Religious freedom means freedom of religion regardless of religion...whether it be Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Native American Spirituality, Paganism, etc. And that never even entered the mind of those Christian-extremists that formed many of the early colonies. Otherwise, there would have been much less conflict within the colonies and with those who were different.
@zimminkie: Actually, if you've read your founding documents multiple religions were listed for protection, even Islam. Which makes it evident that it was NOT Christian extremists. It always amazes me in the blatant, willful ignorance people display in speaking to things they've never actually researched for fact. That might strain their brains beyond their own limited intellectual capacity.
The founders were very clear about the establishment of a national religion. Last time I checked, god is not mentioned once in the entire constitution. In fact it is very clear in the 1st amendment "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise there of". Everybody has the right to believe whatever they want, but to imply that America was founded on christianity is false.
@Joester41 the founding fathers seemed clear about their establishment of religion however their true view has been completely misunderstood. Our founding fathers were religious and that is why they fled Europe to practice their right of freedom of religion. When Jefferson wrote his letter of separation of church and state he was righting saying that the government has no right to make a law that requires a citizen to be knowledgeable of certain religions, did you know that in the colonial days
@Joester41 if an individual wanted to run for office in a particular state whose state religion was lets say catholic they would not only have to prove they were capable of holding that office but also take a religion test over the state religion. This is what Jefferson resented not that religion was present in school or the government, yet in the early 1900s is when our government started straying from the constitutional rules put in place.
@Joester41 In fact, when you think about some of the "religious groups" who came here in the name of so-called religious freedom, there were some very crazy colonies that were established based not on the best of intentions, but based on power, fear, and greed...all in the name of religion/christianity.
The thing that gets me is our government is trying to shut Christians up but its bending over every time a muslim gets pissed or offended and we change our laws around it to keep them happy there is no religous equality our government just cant grow a pair and say NO! They please who they fear
Thomas Paine was an adamant atheist he wrote a book about it. As for everyone else, I know jefferson, Madison, washington, Adams, and more were mostly either theologian or deist.
I like the Lovecraftian version of this painting better. Nothing better than Cthulhu making a child write the elder sign on the constitution with his own blood
notice how liberals love to migrate away from their obama worshiping and anti-fox news videos and come onto to videos of where people like to use their opinions and talents while they put so much hard work into it. if you don't like it then go back to your nutshell of disrespect and ignorance.
B) Placing political and historical figures not from the time of Christ in a scene with Christ has been done so many times over the past 1,000 years that this guy must not know anything about art or art history if he thinks this is original.
"But no one can dispute how our Founding Fathers and Patriots felt about God. The record is clear!"
yes, yes it is..
"I concur with you strictly in your opinion of the comparative merits of atheism and demonism, and really see nothing but the latter in the being worshipped by many who think themselves Christians" - Thomas Jefferson
@LeytonLuva22 yes! wait for it to be sold out of a van down at your local abandoned gas station right next to the tiger print rugs and painted faux egyptian sphinxes
@Tweekki No thanks. I can get it on his website for a good price. I would love it ,along with a few other photos. Dislike the message or not but he is a great painter.
What a crock of shit. Thomas Jefferson was not a religious person, Ben Franklin rarely attended religious ceremony, and John Adams and John Quincy Adams were Unitarian.
@TheChad206 Thomas Jefferson also helped the more militant Baptist Church overthrow the more secular Episcopal Church in Virginia, and Ben Franklin invited Catholics from France and Europe into America, so that makes them just as guilty of setting up the Christian right just as Alex Hamilton and the others are.
@fbi10 Ha! Seriously, did you read my original post? Did I ever say that *anybody* was atheist? Did I say that any of them didn't believe in (a) god? No! There is a difference between not being religious and not believing in a higher power. John Adams and John Quincy Adams were Unitarian. Do you know what that means? How about you take your own advice and learn you some American history. Try out some theology while you're at it.
@TheChad206 when did i say you said that they were atheists? please tell me where i said that....? Saying that they were "religious" is meaningless because the definition of religious is wide and can mean many things. Looking at the declaration that Jefferson wrote, looking at the federalist papers, the 1st congress, and our history together proves something else.Maybe you should take your own advice. Yes i know what Unitarian means and is it not a christian domination? Yes or no? Yes it is...
@TheChad206 "Unitarianism is a Christian theological movement, named for its understanding of God as one person, in direct contrast to Trinitarianism which defines God as three persons coexisting consubstantially as one in being." seems like you need to take your own advice...
@TheChad206 Mark Twain once said,"Better to keep your mouth SHUT and appear to be ignorant than to OPEN it and remove all doubt." You should have taken his advise.
@datsyhoehoe Well, technically I never had to open my mouth to TYPE. Maybe you should take similar ADVICE before posting comments without spell check.
@datsyhoehoe whether or not anybody here has respect for... my ignorance? I just realized that doesn't make any sense. Why should anybody have respect for ignorance? Whatever the case, I don't feel a need to make a point with you or any of the other "this is a christian nation" people here. At this point I just enjoy the fact that I got under your skin.
@TheChad206 Nice try, but you haven't gotten under anything here except for the scrutiny of all of the folks that have a normal level of sensibility. I'm finished wasting my time with you. Peace
@datsyhoehoe Very snappy comeback! So I slipped and typed an "S" instead of a "C". Hmmmmm... that's called a mistake where I come from, But my message was clear and you trying to dodge the bullet by a technicality only supports my statement that much more. You're ignorant, Dude, and nobody respects what you have to say.
@TheChad206: Chad you are showing your blatant ignorance. Ever heard of the Jefferson Bible, created by Thomas Jefferson? I have a copy. You can find it in any bookstore. You might want to know what you are actually talking about. So your own personal ignorance does not scream to show your total lack in honesty, integrity and personal credibility. They say ignorance is bliss, have a blissful day. :)
Its amazing how many non believers there are today, and there numbers grow, as the US declines... when US does collapse and it will, it will be men of faith that will rebuild it, just like its founding...
the Founding Fathers wanted NOTHING to do with religion in politics or the government. Saying they did is dishonest, underhanded and a LIE, "You shalt not bear false witness" you just broke one of the commandments which according to your faith means you are going to Hell. hope it was worth it. :) this smacks way to much of "Manifest Destiny" which is one of the most Evil ideas in history. you should be ashamed sir.
"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistant that we call it the word of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel." - Thomas Paine, Founding Father and author of Commonsense.
ummm.... What part of under God means just the Christian god? any thing about Yahweh or Jehovah? Freedom of Religion isn't just restricted to Christians and Jews. I am pretty sure the reference to God was meant to be an Individual's Creator. My opinion anyway..... WYRD
Even if they said something more generic such as "their creator" like Jefferson (who was a deist) put in the Declaration of Independence, I'd still object. The establishment clause is clear, gov't and religion must be separate. The problem with "Individual's Creator" is that the child forced to recite this oath may have multiple creators, or none. And the idea that a creator has blessed this country is purely Christian. Jews' holy land is Israel, Muslims Mecca, Hindus India.
@eastariel "We are one nation founded on love." Wich included Native American Genocide. Slavery Manifest Destiny "He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love." ~ John 4:8 "And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes." ~ Jesus Christ - Luke 12:47 I can cherry pick and copy paste too. We are NOT one nation under any diety.
"Blessed is the Nation Whose God Is The Lord" - (Psalm 33:12) We are one nation UNDER God friends do NOT forget that! Our Motto is "In God We Trust!" And you may say that is just a Motto well let me tell you friend that is a way of life!! Our Founding Fathers believed in it and so should we as Americans! "For God and Country" in that order, I'll never lose sight of that and what it really means! I shall never lose my Faith, I'll lose my life before I'll lose my Faith! Ooh-Rah!!
@CarnivorousBiped Just because the motto was created recently doesn't mean that the belief of it cannot be traced back. One Nation under God has become one Nation under the people. People are limited and cannot be trusted.. Thus in GOD we Trust! God is Holy and knows no evil, he created us an Honorable Nation but we are letting it fall away to the devil who knows nothing BUT evil. Morally our flag has already been burned, it's only a matter of time until it is physically burned.
@BTBAS11 First, congratulations on signing on to the USMC - Semper Fi. I did my tour during the Vietnam War as a grunt 1st batallion 1st Marine Div.
In 1797, the senate ratified The Treaty of Tripoli. Google that and check article 11.
Also, as some founding fathers were Christian, Washington, Franklin, Jefferson and Thomas Paine were Deists. IMO, they were preDarwin else they would have been atheists.
@CarnivorousBiped Hey thanks for your service sir! That is Awesome! I believe that no one is a true atheist or whatever. When the moment of life or death arrives, most of those people become believers or change last minute because there's just something that overcomes you when you are about to die it's like you know that your time here may be done but you are headed somewhere else. Idk why God is such an enemy to people and nations? All he is and does is GOOD! It's not like he's evil!
@BTBAS11 At my age, ppl expect me to start thinking about converting to some diety. It is impossible for me to convert short of a lobatomy. I cannot be expected to suddenly believe in imaginary beings. Where I was before I was born is where I will be after I die: non-existant. I was not not inconvenienced in the least before I was born.
The evils of your god are well documented in your bible (Numbers 31 vrs 17-18 for example).
@CarnivorousBiped Either way it's a way of life just as the American Culture! Also I do not believe that there are any real atheist. Most of them become believers through life and death experience or the instant they are on their death bed. Why? Because when it comes down to it when your life is about to be taken from you, you see what the living cannot, you know that you are headed somewhere. Look up Resurrected millionaire and sky diver dies and returns to tell his life experience

@CarnivorousBiped Religion is the practice of rituals and other meaningless things, Christianity is the practice of Faith. - (Victor) Christianity is more than just a way of life because you can try to live like a Christian but that doesn't mean you are one. You can grow in a Christian Home or Environment but that STILL doesn't make you a Christian. Salvation is the key to Christianity! Thinking you're saved isn't enough, nor is feeling...but knowing. Remember, Faith becomes Fate!
@BTBAS11 compare the two states of texas and california, TX being more god welcoming and CA more of a godless sect. now compare their economic prosperity and the moral backrounds. which state seems more welcoming?
@BTBAS11 i live in Cali but look up unemployment rates and economic records, and it speaks for itself. our country does so much better when it is under god, and under god doesn't mean everybody should be Christian it means that our way of life and Constitutional ideals is derived from the word of God. and i'm not that super religious to figure out what God does to our country.
@BTBAS11 and i know your gonna say "well islam is a way of life to" your right but Christians don't force women to do what sharia law says, or what else sharia law practices. also to compare the "2 ways of life" i wouldn't see mass groups of Christians showing hatred and violence towards muslims if muslims burnt the bible. it's the exact opposite the other way around as we seen not long ago.

If you don't believe in God why do you care if someone else does? Wouldn't you be indifferent to their beliefs rather than passionately opposed. I don't think there are any real atheists.
I like how he shows Benjamin Franklin at 1:00 near Jesus, as he says our "founding fathers were passionately religious".
To quote Benjamin Franklin: "As to Jesus of Nazareth, my opinion of whom you particularly desire...I have, with most of the present dissenters in England, some doubts as to his divinity".
@Roguetrex Why is it that people attempt to misrepresent the meaning of the founding fathers by taking their words out of context and then have the audacity to state "stop trying to rewrite history. Your attempt to do that very thing here, Roguetrex 3 is more of the same drivel.
@WELanning My point is that he is hardly "passionately" religious - rather, passively, perhaps. "I have, with most of the present dissenters in England, some doubts as to his divinity; though it is a question I do not dogmatize upon, having never studied it, and think it needless to busy myself with it now" does seem to lack passion, I think. I did not provide the full quote, for lack of length, but even the full quote hasn't changed much of my point at all. Just pointing out some sillyness.
@Roguetrex That the most acceptable service we render to him is in doing good to his other children. That the soul of man is immortal, and will be treated with justice in another life respecting its conduct in this. These I take to be the fundamental points in all sound religion, and I regard them as you do in whatever sect I meet with them.
As to Jesus of Nazareth, my opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the system of morals and his religion, as he left them to us, is the best the world ever saw, or is likely to see;
@Roguetrex But I apprehend it has received various corrupting changes, and I have, with most of the present dissenters in England, some doubts as to his divinity; though it is a question I do not dogmatize upon, having never studied it, and think it needless to busy myself with it now, when I expect soon an opportunity of knowing the truth with less trouble.
@Roguetrex I see no harm, however, in its being believed, if that belief has the good consequence, as probably it has, of making his doctrines more respected and more observed; especially as I do not perceive, that the Supreme takes it amiss, by distinguishing the unbelievers in his government of the world with any peculiar marks of his displeasure."
--Benjamin Franklin wrote this in a letter to Ezra Stiles, President of Yale University on March 9, 1790.
"one nation under god" not "one under god FOREVER!" Things can change u know, when the declaration of independence was written that didnt mean that it was set in stone, at least not all of it.
religion stole the love for one another and gave it to a book to a telepathic father that loves means kneeing before him and killing each other.if you really think miracles happen because of god doing super natural things.he can do anything why not make superman real,why superman because the god of the bible is real he could make superman real.think in realm of god, super natural and the bible what makes you think you are not disconnected from reality at this very moment in your life or forever
@christianbytheword Attempting to scare people into heaven may have worked for you, but it won't scare reasonable people. It's empty at best. Show us all the undisputed proof that your God possesses the divine ability to influence any man today. You can't, the only influence religion has available to mankind is that of primitive stories like the Bible and the Quaran
@Ither1 I think that's the main reason why everyone is fed up with Christians. The overly zealous don't understand that the duty is to spread the word, not convert every single soul by any means necessary.
I believe that our constitution was written by Jesus Christ. Obama wrote the constitution and has lived longer than our country has. Obama is Jesus Christ. Obama bless us, everyone!
Yep. It's true. No one can dispute how the founding fathers felt about God. Because it's well documented that each individual had their own opinion. Some of them were Christians. many of them were Deists, who did not see the hand of God everywhere, but rather saw his handiwork, his hand long gone from the mechanisms of our universe. And no one can dispute that they felt this way.
BARF.

Actually, the country has been in steady decline from pretty much around the same time when presidents like Bush marketed their religion and evangelical movements gained influence in American politics. Education and science has collapsed in regions where evangelicalism surfaced, and the wars started by strongly religious presidents has made the international standing fall..
Correlation isn't causation, but the growing influence of religion in the USA sure as hell isn't helping

@alo754: There's a fool on every page. You really think all of this perfection in ecosystem interactions came from a "big bang" explosion? All matter has a source, using a scientific definition. So, where did the original matter come from that created the "Big Bang." Nothing comes from nothing. So, what was the source of matter that created the supposed "Big Bang."? Something science has never been able to answer.
DCTroubador 1 month ago
@DCTroubador Looking back, I have not found a comment on this video where I claimed to support the big bang theory ( though I do based on the evidence). But because science does not have the answer to every single question, does not make any religion any more plausible, and anyone who says otherwise is not worth acknowledging because it would be an argument from ignorance. Allso, science implies that relaity has always existed in one form or another based on the Law of Conservation of Energy.

@DCTroubador What I was trying to say is that if there is not a single christian/islamic/religious claim that is supported by evidence (holy books do not count, othwerwise the argument transforms into a circular one), then there is no logical reason to be part of a religion; with the exception perhaps of avoiding a hell, but hey, there are infinite ammount of probable deities and hells for that matter since you cannot rebut the probability of a coca-cola that punishes everyone after they die.

@alo754 In other words, if there is no evidence for a religion, do not be a part of it. I will agree that I cannot say "I know there is not a god", but I can say that I do not believe in the existance of the gods of every religion because they still have not been proven to exist.

Having said the below and not agreeing with the intention of the painting, I still like it. Because, to me, it represents how much we have disconnected from our own spirituality, and thus have disconnected from ourselves and each other. It's nice to think of a society where people really look at each other and see not strangers but human beings just like themselves, despite our differences. Belief in something greater than yourself helps to accomplish that, regardless how you label it.

PS: Religious freedom means freedom of religion regardless of religion...whether it be Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Native American Spirituality, Paganism, etc. And that never even entered the mind of those Christian-extremists that formed many of the early colonies.

The founders were very clear about the establishment of a national religion. Last time I checked, god is not mentioned once in the entire constitution. In fact it is very clear in the 1st amendment "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise there of". Everybody has the right to believe whatever they want, but to imply that America was founded on christianity is false.

@Joester41 the founding fathers seemed clear about their establishment of religion however their true view has been completely misunderstood. Our founding fathers were religious and that is why they fled Europe to practice their right of freedom of religion. When Jefferson wrote his letter of separation of church and state he was righting saying that the government has no right to make a law that requires a citizen to be knowledgeable of certain religions, did you know that in the colonial days

@Joester41 if an individual wanted to run for office in a particular state whose state religion was lets say catholic they would not only have to prove they were capable of holding that office but also take a religion test over the state religion. This is what Jefferson resented not that religion was present in school or the government, yet in the early 1900s is when our government started straying from the constitutional rules put in place.

@Joester41 In fact, when you think about some of the "religious groups" who came here in the name of so-called religious freedom, there were some very crazy colonies that were established based not on the best of intentions, but based on power, fear, and greed...all in the name of religion/christianity.

Even if they said something more generic such as "their creator" like Jefferson (who was a deist) put in the Declaration of Independence, I'd still object. The establishment clause is clear, gov't and religion must be separate. The problem with "Individual's Creator" is that the child forced to recite this oath may have multiple creators, or none. And the idea that a creator has blessed this country is purely Christian. Jews' holy land is Israel, Muslims Mecca, Hindus India.

@Ither1 I think that's the main reason why everyone is fed up with Christians. The overly zealous don't understand that the duty is to spread the word, not convert every single soul by any means necessary.

Keep religion in history text books, churches and homes. It is unconstitutional to place it in politics.

I believe that our constitution was written by Jesus Christ. Obama wrote the constitution and has lived longer than our country has. Obama is Jesus Christ. Obama bless us, everyone!

Yep. It's true. No one can dispute how the founding fathers felt about God. Because it's well documented that each individual had their own opinion. Some of them were Christians. many of them were Deists, who did not see the hand of God everywhere, but rather saw his handiwork, his hand long gone from the mechanisms of our universe. And no one can dispute that they felt this way.
