Ben Stein commentary

I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country.

American Marxism is a good place to look first.

I have no interest in your antisemitism, nor apologize for calling it out.

“Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn’t spank our children when they misbehave...”

The FASTEST way to see a society collapse is to trust Dr. Spock on this...and we (collectively) did trust him.

You should apologize, because you are wrong. I am in no way an anti-semite and you have to be bigoted and thin-skinned to take my post as such, yourself.

You are guilty of everything Stein is complaining about. Our shared heritage of Mosaic law should be a set of principles which bind both Christians and Jews. Your posts make me think that a desperate search for identity may make this more difficult.

I agree with Ben Stein commentary. I was raised without religion but told to read the Bible because it was one of the "great books" and part of my heritage. I am at best an agnostic, but recognize that the ancient Jews and Christians had a better understanding of what made a society work and livable than most modern philosophers if not all. I will take President John Adams' word for it:
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." --- John Adams
