"most Christians don't have a clue about the Bible "

This is probably they greatest problem we have in the USA today. We are no longer a Christian nation, even though the majority will claim to be Christian.

One partiular religion of course does not want their adherents to learn the Bible for themselves. I do believe that is a factor in keeping the borders open. Catholics will never stand up against a government that becomes ever more tyrannical.

Liberty exists in the world today solely because of Protestant Christians who believed in the teachings of their Bible more than the sins of a government, and fought them.

traditional American values are Protestant Christian values, particulary the rugged independence and the desire to be free from government interference.

Those values and Christianity are under assault fromn the left, for the last 50 years, because those Americans would never support a socialist power structure.

Today so-called Christians are afraid to stand up for themselves because they do not have convictions. They fear name calling, or being labeled a "zealot" for their principled beliefs.

The degree of liberty lost in this nation is directly proportional to the degree of Christianity lost.

Exactly, I've penned it Churchanity as most seem to 'worship' the church's dogma, not Christ.

Most of the Catholics I know have read the Bible many times, and understand it quite well. I realize that this is anecdotal evidence, but that is rather a broad generalization.

Catholics will never stand up against a government that becomes ever more tyrannical.

Poland comes to mind......

What a bunch of ignorant crap. Why don't you do a little reading on Nazi Germany and the conflict between the Catholic church and Hitler. While you're at it, read about Pope John Paul II and how he contributed to the fall of Communism. Then you can think about how bigots like yourself give the left so much ammunition against the right in the battle of public opinion and make us look bad to the public at large.
