ROFL!
Three posts of Calvinist dogma in a row to me!
I could just as easily post quotes from founders flaming Christianity. The Frankilin and Jefferson letters are very hostile towards Christianity and clearly show that they considered Christianity a threat to liberty.

They managed to put their feelings aside and work together with Christians and I try to do the same. You would not like it if I insisted Deist dogma be the foundation of law in this country and I don't like it when you insist America must be Christian.

You are not considering context when you use quotes from the past. I attend services at the local Christian church on occaision not because I feel a need to worship, but to please those freinds and neighbors who are Christian. I contribute to their youth group because they do an outstanding job helping kids. I have recieved letters thanking me for my contributions and my name is on a plaque at the youth center. Does that mean that when I'm long gone someone will use that to prove I was a Christian who Worshipped at that church?

You're confused or deliberately dragging a red herring across the trail to throw people off track. You asked me for proof of the religious underpinnings that informed America's Framers, and I gave them to you.

The fact that you aren't emotionally equipped to face the facts of history when they're presented to you is __your__ problem.

BTTT for the facts again:
