Really, sir. I don't feel the need to prove to you the history of Christianity's intrusion into government. I don't think I need to explain that the many examples of this through history can be seen in the Crusades, the Inquisition, & the persecution of Galileo.

If you would like recent American examples of Christians imposing their religion through government, how about school prayer, prohibition, intelligent design, and Dominionists. There are even several minor ways Christians have imposed their dogma through government... Blue Laws, for example. I can't buy a bottle of Crown on Sundays. I can't buy a car, either.

Is Christianity as influential as it was when it ruled over Kings like celestial monarchs? Nope, and that's how we want to keep it.

No, of course you don't. You have hysterics, BS and the victim card, why would you need proof?

The funny little Blue Laws comment is pretty funny, too. Oh, the horror!
