You want to get back to what your founding fathers wanted your country to be? then put your bible down and pick up your CONSTITUTION instead.

I do read the Constitution. I buy copies of them in bulk, I pass them out daily to people I meet everywhere and encourage them to read it too. Do not lecture me about reading the Constitution.

I still do not see ANY example ANYWHERE of ANYONE wanting to do away with our Representative Republic and install a theocracy. Your moonbat nutty views such as "will we be put to death as many understand the bible to demand of apostates?" (your nonsense in post #8)and claiming that people here want to give up liberty for a theocracy, is complete trash. This nation was built on christian values to ensure liberty from an oppressive government. You dare compare that to the oppressive theocratic tyranny of the Taliban? What is wrong with you?

“I still do not see ANY example ANYWHERE of ANYONE wanting to do away with our Representative Republic and install a theocracy.”

The very first post suggests that the bible be used as judicial precedence, you don’t see that as a one of the cornerstones of a theocracy?

“Your moonbat nutty views such as “will we be put to death as many understand the bible to demand of apostates?” (your nonsense in post #8)and claiming that people here want to give up liberty for a theocracy, is complete trash.”

That was not a view, it was a question, which one poster here responded in the affirmative... do you agree with the poster? is the death penalty for apostasy what you would expect to happen under the constitution or under a theocracy?

“This nation was built on christian values to ensure liberty from an oppressive government. You dare compare that to the oppressive theocratic tyranny of the Taliban? What is wrong with you?”

I thought it was built on the constitution wherein church and state are deliberately separated specifically to guarantee freedom of religion, including the freedom to chose the atheist position without fear of persecution. The problem is that such a foundation contradicts what the bible teaches. All that is ‘wrong’ with me is that I will take a secular state based on your constitution rather than a thelogical one based on your bible any day.

By the way... thank you for your honest replies to my posts. I don’t agree with some of your views but I appreciate your effort in sharing them with me.
