That's the electoral college system for you. Nice job cherry-picking from the rest of my reply.

Yeah, sucks to be wrong, doesn't it....or do you still not understand that the electoral system exists to counter the idea that "majority rules." As for a reply to the rest of your drivel: If the founders wanted the US to be run on Christian "law", then they would have said so. They surely had ample chance....yet chose not to.

Kinda like they chose not to have a government of "majority rules".

Dude, get over yourself. It was a figure of speech and whether you liked it or not, the semantics argument grows tiresome. Our laws are based upon the Christian tradition, whether you like it or not. The references to Providence and "their Creator" are proof enough of the fact. Our most basic laws come from the traditions set forth in the Christian tradition about rights that cannot be taken away (inalienable), given by their Creator. The Founders were smart enough to allow freedom OF religion but not freedom FROM religion. They chose not to, as you put it, to avoid the circumstance that was a root cause of why they fled England, the state-sponsored Anglican Church. The basis for some of the most basic laws (i.e. against murder, against theft, against adultery, etc.) come from the Ten Commandments. This is fact, not drivel. Feel free to respond but I am done with you.
