Gee, so you're saying that all those Founding Fathers who were Freemasons were godless atheists? And I thought this country was supposedly founded as a Christian nation.

I didn't say that the founding fathers were all "godless athiests". I said that masons were sworn enemies of the Church who put certain ideals before God Himself.

And I thought this country was supposedly founded as a Christian nation.

That's what you thought... supposedly. The "creator" is ambiguously mentioned exactly once in the Declaration of Independance and not at all in our constitution.

They thought it better to leave Him out after winning the war, which is why today He's being snuffed out of American life at every opportunity. If we were founded as a "Christian" nation as some believe, the Father, Son and Holy spirit would have been mentioned at least once in our founding documents. They're not.

Even regarding the Declaration they got the "life" part right, but show me how God teaches us that we are somehow entitled to "liberty" or the "pursuit of happiness". From a Christian perspective, it's theologically unsound. All this pursuing of personalized idiosyncratic "happiness" and abuse of free will is exactly what's causing our devolution.

Freedom is in truth. Happiness comes from loving, serving and knowing God.

Hardly. Neither the Constitution nor the Declaration of Independence even mention Our Lord Jesus Christ, let alone acknowledge His Divine Kingship.

It was also founded as a viciously anti-Catholic country, and to its core in many ways, it still is.
