You confound hostility for government authority over religion with distaste for Christians.

Those who rely on government advice in matters of religion have no claim whatsoever to the title "Christian."

That great honor is reserved for those who acknowledge the exclusive authority of Christ over their duties to the great and glorious Being who is the beneficent Author of all that is good.

No man can serve two masters. If you believe in "One Nation Under God" or even consider it, upon the advice or urging of the government - you reject the authority of Christ.

************************************************************

LET US LEAVE PRAYER TO BE PROMPTED BY THE DEVOTION OF THE HEART, AND NOT THE BIDDING OF THE STATE.*

* Source of Information: Representative Gulian Verplanck of New York on the floor of the U. S. House of Representatives in 1832 objecting to the proposal that Congress ask President Andrew Jackson to issue a Religious Proclamation recommending prayer and fasting because of the Asiatic Scourge.

The House chose to follow Verplanck's wise advice and refused to ask the President to recommend prayer and fasting. Jackson had previously made it publicly known that any member of Congress that brought him such a foolish request would get his sorry butt kicked back to the Temple of Satan where the idea must have originated. Andy Jackson believed in the Total Separation of Religion and Government and for staying true to the pure, sacred, just and truly Christian principle of no civil authority over out duties to God, even in the face of the Scourge, he is hereby nominated to the American Religious Liberty Hall of Fame.

Actually, your hatred of Christianity is quite obvious. You worship selective quotes by men supporting your legal position. You proclaim people who agree with your legal postion 'real Christians' while you denounce people who disagree with you 'non-Christians' and 'satan-worshipers'. You have called heros like Patrick Henry and George Washington 'satan-worshipers'. You are troll.
