Forked-tongue Moore, as usual, tries to sound reasonable, but his equivocation is unmistakable.
Why is the SBC still employing this leftist mole?

"If what you mean by that is a nation in which most of the people profess to be Christians, then certainly the United States of America was and is a Christian nation," said Moore.
I believe that is what EVERYONE BUT YOU was saying......

One of these millenniums, zealous, but low-information Christians will hopefully catch on to the idea that the states have the 10th Amendment-protected power to address religious issues, power now limited by the 14th Amendment, the Founding States stripping the federal government of such power as evidenced by the 1st Amendment to the Constitution.

The idea that were living in a Christian nation in that sense is really a form of theological liberalism. It assumes that a person or a nation can be a Christian apart from the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit, apart from new birth. That is contrary to the Gospel.
No, that is not what the phrase Christian nation means, Mr. Russell. Another one conflating the free exercise clause with the establishment clause, never mind being mendacious about the present state of being in Christian countries that do have state churches.

Most in the SBC have never heard of Moore and don’t know what a “leftist mole” is.

At this point any talking head on TV sounds like Charlie Brown’s teacher to me.

It may be ‘contrary to the gospel’ but it happens to be a fact.
To: fwdude
There is no establishment of religion, so this is not a Christian nation.
However, some people, ignorant of the meaning of words, call it a Christian nation because the majority of the people are nominally Christian.

With only a few exceptions, the founding fathers were Christians - Benjamin Franklin was a devout Deist. The Constitution is based on Christian tenets.

I'm sure there are people out there who sincerely believe that the USA is some sort of holy, chosen nation--maybe even that the thirteen original colonies were the restored "tribes of Israel." It's ridiculous, but every single historically chrstian country thinks that it is
THE special, chosen holy country: Ethiopia, Armenia, Greece, Spain, Ireland, etc., etc., etc.
Unfortunately this promotes religious subjectivism.
