"stooping down"

You said it, not me. Look at the bottom of your post #112

quoting the Kama Sutra

I wouldn't like it, this is supposed to be a Christian country! At least that's what I concluded from studying American history for my citizenship exam. This is a Christian country and we don't persecute people of other religions, but our laws are (or should be) based on Christian Scripture. Other countries may base their laws on the Kama Sutra, but not this one.

I'd be less insulted if you quoted the Koran

Have it your way, but the Koran will not show you the way to eternal life and the Bible will. What kind of person would I be if I knew about God's love for me but refused to tell others about it? I'd rather offend you quoting the Bible, hoping that the Holy Spirit will touch your heart, than be nice and friendly quoting the Koran and let you go to eternal damnation.

Interesting conclusion -- I've taught the citizenship exam study material, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and never encountered the phrase "Christian nation" in these materials, nor did I draw the same conclusion as you.

Funny how a "Christian" country somehow neglected to mention Christ anywhere in the founding documents that define this nation!

The Constitution contains no references to "God" (unless you are willing to read a lot more into the phrase "..in the year of our Lord..." than is reasonable).

The founding fathers were not Christians.

Thomas Jefferson was a heretic (Rationalist) who rewrote the Four Gospels of the Christian New Testament, eliminating all references to the divine nature of Christ! (but don't believe me, buy your own copy and read it for yourself).

I assume you intend to ignore The Treaty of Tripoli (written by Joel Barlow, a friend of Thomas Paine), a treaty with what is now Libya, which reads in part "the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion". This treaty was signed by president John Adams, and ratified by the Senate in 1797.
