See..this part of the debate should get very interesting. Apparenlty the Fouding Fathers were very smart and many of them were fluent in Latin and well read, a privelege reserved for only the brightest and best. Assuming someone is smart, has faith and leadership qualities and reads a lot, is this a reason why everyone else has to emulate them? Like it or not, many of the Founding Fathers owned slaves and had children out of wedlock. Should we be emulating that too (again, assuming they are bright, religious and smart people)?

You don't have to "emulate" sinners. You are one. Hahaha
