No. I guess I was wrong about that painting.

How do you know you are wrong?

If our culture and foundations wasn't based on Christianity, then what is it based upon? Where did they get their principles for the constitution?

The writings of Locke and Montesquieu are usually credited with inspiring much of the Constitution and the D. of I.

This doesn't negate the foundations of our culture which you won't address.

We were discussing the foundations of the nation, not the culture. I have challenged you several times to prove that this nation is founded on 'Judeo-Christianity' and so far you have provided me with proof that it is based on Roman mythology.

I outlined why our foundations and writings have their root in Judeo-Christian thought. If they were purely secular their would have been no bill of rights, no concern for life, no concern for anything except the state.

I believe the founding fathers were influenced by their religion. To say otherwise seems a stretch to me.

I thought it was a religious picture that dealt with Christianity. There are pictures in the rotunda depicting the founding fathers praying. I thought that it was one of those, but obviously I was wrong. My apologies.

To be honset, I've never had to actually defend the fact that our government was formed and incorporated around the basis of christian thought.

I've read the Federalist papaers and even there you an see the influence of christian philosophy and thought.
