Again, no one has asked you to. Preach in public, or on the radio, or on TV, or with billboards, or in magazines, or on the internet, or...

Congress PAID for the printing of the first bible in 1782 and inside that bible it says, "For use of schools".
It cost a great deal of money to print a book in the 1700s. One of the most popular books of the time was the Bible. I put it to you that they paid for the printing because it was a very popular book, and entirely suitable for teaching reading. They were not attempting to force everybody to be Christian.
- history is on MY SIDE.
If you mean history's on your side that most of the Founders were Christian, and most early Americans were Christian, indeed you are right.
If you mean that they intended to found a theocratic government, history proves you utterly incorrect. It was attempted to insert the words "Our Lord Jesus Christ" after the word "Creator" in the Declaration. It was voted down. The word "God" appears nowhere in the Constitution. They surely could have inserted it. It provides expressly the "respecting an establishment of religion" clause - and the "free exercise thereof" clause. It could have rigidly supported only your view of Jesus Christ - but it doesn't.
So, history and you are at odds. Deal with it.
If your argument is the former, then you and I and history are not at odds. If the latter, then the founding documents themselves show the incorrectness of your position.
That would go against the very essence of Christianity. Christ doesn't force Himself on anyone, and nothing I said indicates such an absurd notion, so spare me any strawmen.

Baloney. Secular humanists would love nothing more! And our govt is FULL OF THEM. My freedom is being eroded more every day!

That's right - ENTIRELY SUITABLE. Is it now not suitable? Who says so? Some black-robed humanist moron?
