I will once they are in a room with rubber wall paper wearing a sport cot with sleeves that buckle in the back.

Your point is well taken.But remember, I just post these aricles, I don't write them.:)

The groupthink only adds to their delusions.

The founding fathers did base the US constitution on Enlightenment principles. They certainly weren't atheists, but many weren't really Christian, either. Remember that the US claims itself to be a free nation where people of all religions can live without being discriminated against. I don't want to see this ideal cast aside because of perceived threats to Christianity.

You like cheese?

That is were the crux of their disillusionment is.

I goofed. I meant to post this to News/Activism.Can you change it?

[RightWingAtheist]

An important distinction has to be made between the British Enlightenment and the French Enlightenment. The former forms the basis of both classical liberalism and modern conservatism, as well as of the Declaration of Independence. The latter is responsible for much of what is called "progressivism" today, as well as the excess of most statist philosophy.

Mmm-hmm.

I hope you saw post #5 before it got pulled. I think it might have been the phantom troll.

[aspiring.hillbilly]

[RightWingAtheist]

I just read another thread (about "green" terrorists) which the recently-zotted was on, so you may be right.

[smoothsailing]

Nothing spectacular, just the method. rdb3 has it up on post #9.
