> a crackpot crystal-worshipping faddist

A QVC fundamentalist?

> For the same reason our coinage bears the motto "In God We Trust"

What... a desire to "stick it" to Commies?

> For the same reason our framing document is written "with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence."

Framing document? I don't seem to remember that Deist teminology in the Constitution...


> We ask God -- the real God

Odin.

> to guide His fallible creations in the work they're about to undertake.

Be better if the people asked to do a job followed the *Consitituion,* not some god or other. Hold to the Constitution and you can't go wrong. Hold to what you think some god or other is telling you, and all manner of irrational wackiness will result.

> We're a Christain nation.

Huh. One wonders, then, why the legal system in this country is based on that of the pagan Saxons and not on the Ten Commandments, then.

You're clueless. That's why you wonder.

No, an expression of our trust in God. Sometimes words mean what they mean.

It's not. It's in the Declaration of Independence. And about a thousand other documents of the age. By the way, I don't recall any mention of forbidding Christianity in the Constitution either.

Odin.

If that's what you want to call Him.

You mean like that part about "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF"?

Our legal system is based on English common law, which owes much to Roman law, which was spread to northern Europe by ... Christians! You know, those Christians that are part of the Holy Roman Empire? The Empire that DEFINED Western culture? Yeah, that one.
