[StBernard] "We are no longer a Christian nation"

[Westley Annis]

"Funny, I always though religious freedom was one of the founding principles
of this country. Our forefathers fought and died to protect that freedom,
not to keep a certain religious denomination in power."

Jerry: YES. The basis of this country is rooted into Christianity. At the
moment of conception, the founders ideology was far from seeing America
becoming an atheist, agnostic, communistic or radical muslim society.

"People who vote for a candidate solely based on the scare tactics used by
the opposing side is a major reason why we keep electing leaders who are
running the country into the ground"

Jerry: People shouldn't vote on scare tactics but listen to their candidate,
his associates, supporters, etc. Would anyone rather see elected leaders be
promoting Hindu, buddist, radical muslim, New-age or any of the radical
belief systems? Yes, you're correct about the liberal leaders running the
government into the ground. We must be rid of socialistic tactics and vote
our conservative, Christian, God-fearing good people into office. If any of
this group of people at any time becomes corrupt, we toss them out of office
or have them prosecuted like any criminal.

We live in a crazed society. Why would we want a crazed radical running this
God-fearing nation?

Re: As I was listening to a news program last night, I watched in horror as
Barack Obama made the statement with pride. . .'we are no longer a Christian
nation; we are now a nation of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, . . .
As with so many other statements I've heard him (and his wife) make, I never
thought I'd see the day that I'd hear something like that from a
presidential candidate in this nation.  To think our forefathers fought and
died for the right for our nation to be a Christian nation--and to have this
man say with pride that we are no longer that.  How far this nation has come
from what our founding fathers intended it to be.
 
Funny, I always though religious freedom was one of the founding principles
of this country. Our forefathers fought and died to protect that freedom,
not to keep a certain religious denomination in power.
If you oppose Barack Obama in the election, that's fine. When John Scurich
stated his opposition, he seemed to have put some original thought into it
and I can respect that. But to forward email spam that's already been posted
on hundreds of blogs, and use that as a reason for opposing a candidate, is
just plain lazy. People who vote for a candidate solely based on the scare
tactics used by the opposing side is a major reason why we keep electing
leaders who are running the country into the ground.

By the way, Michelle Obama's thesis is available here:
