Today is the birthday of the man you deem irrelevant: Washington

I deemed none of our Revolutionary Forebears "irrelevant", as you well know.

That is nothing but a willful FALSEHOOD on your part; a deliberate violation of the Ninth Commandment against a Christian (me), for which you are not even remotely ashamed ~~ let alone penitent.

And why must you fabricate Falsehoods about me, attributing things to me which I did not say and which you know I did not say?

It is so that you may provide yourself with an artificial pseudo-intellectual fig-leaf, a tissue of lies by which you may deny the PLAIN FACT of American Revolutionary History:

I'm not "casually dismissing" the fighting contributions for Independence by any of the other Religionists who participated in the American Revolution.

I am just observing that by comparison to the contributions of the Calvinist Presbyterians (all but one of Washington's colonels at Yorktown and well over half of his soldiery) and their Calvinist allies (probably bringing the total to over 90% of the American soldiery)... *most* of the other "christian" Religionists in America didn't show up to fight for American Republican Freedom at all (and that is nothing but a simple statement of numerical fact).

And if you don't believe that this is the case... why are you so utterly unable to answer my questions?

WHY did the British themselves refer to what would later be called the American Revolution, as "The Presbyterian Rebellion"???
WHY did Prime Minister Horace Walpole say of the Revolution upon the floor of Parliament, "Cousin America has run off with a Presbyterian parson"??

Why, oh why, do you suppose? Why why why why why?

Were they deceived as to the reality of events, and you are not? Were they confused? Perhaps hitting the hookah pipe a bit too hard?

If you can bring yourself to answer those questions above honestly... but, of course, you can't.

But your willingness to construct ad hominem Falsehoods rather than admit historical Facts, you have shown yourself to be one who loves Lies better than Truths.

So be it... after all, the reason that America is a Free Republic today, is quite precisely because the Nation's Independence was primarily executed as a Calvinist Presbyterian enterprise, prosecuted for the benefit of all other Americans. Even for the benefit of those who prefer Falsehoods to Facts, such as yourself.

WHY did Prime Minister Horace Walpole say of the Revolution upon the floor of Parliament, "Cousin America has run off with a Presbyterian parson"??

Horace Walpole, the gothic novelist, was never prime minister. Your condescending tone has always impressed me as coming from one with authoritative knowlege. I'm beginning to have doubts.

By the way, The KJV Study Guide published by Zoverian(?)attributes,"kicking against the pricks" to a Greek proverb that means useless resistance. It goes on to explain that when an ox kicks against the pricks on a goad, that it causes itself pain.
