You do recall, nothing you just cited holds the force of law in this country, don't you?

I think most of us who took the time to learn anything more about our great nation than just its fine Constitution put great stock in its traditions.

With your statement above, you sound for all the world like the redneck fundamentalists on here that won't "egcep anythin" that ain't in the good book.

Hope I didn't hit a nerve there.

"I think most of us who took the time to learn anything more about our great nation than just its fine Constitution put great stock in its traditions."

Which of those traditions has the force of law? On the same level as the Bill Of Rights?

"With your statement above, you sound for all the world like the redneck fundamentalists on here that won't "egcep anythin" that ain't in the good book."

ROFLMAO! That's as far from me as Pat is from relevance.

The FACT remains, as much as you ignore it, that even in 1789, with the country nearly 100% Christian, the Founders STILL did not write the Constitution to provide for a "Christian Nation", and in fact procribed that very thing in that document. If even THEN, they didn't think it a good idea (a wise choice, as several thousand years of the abuses of Liberty by theocracies showed), how in the WORLD can you relate it to today?
