Allowing islam to infiltrate is suicide.

[VanDeKoik]

Just massive stupidly displayed in this article.

[Redleg Duke]

Yeah, let’s prove how Christian we are by committing suicide by Muslim Invasion!

Yeah, what a wonderful Christian Legacy for our sons and especially our daughters!

Every American believes his country should be Christian.

No, they don't. More than half believe America should be Socialist, not Christian.

And they will be willing, if not eager, to kill you for it.

"...laws promoting those Christian teachings that don’t encumber the wealthy"

Spot the bias ping!

[FrankR]

Oh, you means Christians, like the ones the Muslims routinely behead, burn, and drown?

[DH]

Our founding fathers had a very good reason to separate church from state in our founding documents.

That was done from bad experiences learned prior to our form of government being established.

This is the second “First Things” article I have read this week. I never heard of “First Things” before.

This will be the last article I read from there. Too ignorant for a thoughtful reply.

Being a Christian Nation does not mean being a stupid Nation.

[cymbeline]

It’s not a religious issue. It’s an issue of terrorism and economic ruin and turning us into a 3rd world culture.

“Every American believes his country should be Christian.”

I’m an American who doesn’t believe that.

Christianity defends itself

[Izzy Dunne]

Every American believes his country should be Christian.

No, we don't. Starting from such a stupid premise, the rest of the article can't be worth much.

[elcid1970]

Twenty or more years ago, First Things was a serious journal of Christian thought & theology. On the lighter side they poked fun at extreme statements & doings by those calling themselves “religious”.

Like National Review, FT has become watered down by the common culture they both exist in. Sad, really.

Huh? Stopped reading right there. Why do you post this crap?

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. - John Adams

I suppose he could've been talking about Muslims too, but if I had to guess I'd say not.

[NTHockey]

Horse hockey! St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas both wrote about a just war. We can be good Christians AND good soldiers (render unto Caesar). Just wars may be fought to prevent atrocities or to avoid undesirable outcomes. Both of these conditions exist today.

Self defense (for after all, this is why we don’t Mohammedans here) is not a crime nor a sin.
