Ummm...

Actually folks America's Founding Fathers had a destain for Christianity.

Look'em up and you'll be surprised.

The ONLY reason religion exists AT ALL in America is because the Constitution enabled the freedom of religion.

America was NOT founded on Christian values or the values of any religion for that matter, truthfully if the Founding Fathers saw the US today they'd cringe in disgust for all the influence and power that preachers still have.

Compared to you chief, I am a freakin' Einstein. Go back to Babble Study and wait for the next flood. Maybe you can talk next about how dinosaurs lived at the same time as man...

...what?

@TheoryIsSpeculation

Your right they were "godly men" also known as Diests (people who believe in a God but have no 'real' established description or asocialble(?) things they equate to God)

What I meant was that they destained what people were using religion to do!

That not lying is one of the ten commandments ... is itself a lie.

Christians will often claim the ten commandments are in Exodus 20. Editors, translators, and apologists will place a chapter heading in the Bible on Exodus 20 to CALL IT the ten commandments. The actual text of the Bible has no such headings of its own. Why?

Because they want to hide the content of the ACTUAL Ten Commandments. Named by Moses in the text itself rather than any apologist's caption, in Exodus 34:10-28.

Sorry to commit comment necrophilia by answering, but Christianity has been digging its own hole for more or less a thousand years. It's just that nobody cares and people follow it anyways because they'd be responsible for themselves if they didn't. Without a religion, you'd actually have to make up your own mind about what's right and what's wrong.

[Yujifanik]

Thank you.

Yujifanik:

Exactly, the treaty of tripoli can back up your arguement at any time against either religious groups of individuals that make such "...america was founded by christians" claims.

P.S. Greetings and Salutations.

[wallrush00]

when one has to lie to defend one point of view especially when "though shall not bare false witness" is one of the ten commandments, then you know they are digging their own pretty deep hole

[TheDarkKnight987]

Damn those bastards commuted perjury (lying in court). They must have been is serious shit when this trial happened. Kind of like a certain Youtuber out there (I'm looking at you VenomFangX)

I like how Bonsell and Buckingham were looking for a new textbook because the old ones were outdated. They wanted to bring in the Bible as the new science textbook.

Funny thing how science can change, render itself obsolete, build on a wealth of knowledge and expand, allowing the human race to gain new insight and have a better tomorrow.
