Back then, America was a segregated nation, too.

So all the Christian-haters have to do is amend the Constitution to change the country to the way they want it.

And?

America was a nation much more aligned with free-market forces (than it is today) at the time that America was a segregated nation, too. Therefore a freemarket economy is... antiquated and wrong? Is that your argument? sharp logic, there, Einstein.

So What?! Segregation isn't written into the historical documents of our nation. Christianity is.

Do you understand what it means to be a Christian?

Notice the quotes from state constitutions come from versions thereof published before the overthrow and elimination of state's rights via the Civil War?

Because they all hate Christians.

Back then, America was a segregated nation, too.

But because they were Christians and God inspired their Constitution that changed too.

This is the reason for the "shining city on the hill"

To tell the truth, so was the rest of the planet.
I also remember cities across the US were segrated (By Choice) until the 70's).
Have you noted that certain ethinic groups tend to clump together even today - to some degree?
I would also bet that should we let people have their way (and not be regulated by current laws) that we would slowly migrate back to the old ethnic neighborhoods.

And arguably...we are segregated now as well...only its not government sanctioned, its voluntary.
