So do I, only to get spanked by the Religious Modernator demanding that I contribute to the discussion with quotes from the Big Book! I’m paraphrasing, but not kidding.

So?

Considering that the OWNER of this site is a CHRISTIAN; most stuff would tend to be in that direction.

However; he is also a very tolerant man, and makes few requirements of we mouthy posters other than we adhere to a few simple rules of civilized decorum.


Heck; the ENTIRE country started as...



 
 
 
Mayflower Compact
 
In the name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, King, defender of the Faith, etc.

Having undertaken, for the Glory of God, and advancements of the Christian faith and honor of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the Northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents, solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God, and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic; for our better ordering, and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the colony; unto which we promise all due submission and obedience.In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape Cod the 11th of November, in the year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord King James, of England, France, and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth, 1620.

 
 
 


(We even use the Big Book that the above fellow had translated!)
