The battle at the Democratic convention to exclude God from the party’s platform is no minor moment. Do not underestimate what transpired there.
And while it speaks to so many things, at many levels, it reminds me of the recent battle within the European Union to exclude God from the EU constitution. That comparison is no mere academic one. It speaks volumes about the ongoing direction of the Democratic Party, and this nation.
About 10 years ago, the EU was in an intense debate over whether to mention God in its new constitution. The God opponents were the predictable Western European...











Moses carrying the 10 Commandments is carved on the walls inside the Supreme Court building...the list goes on.
You avoid the question. Where is the word "God" in the document?
"Our basic form of justice and morality comes from the bible."
Our justice and morality comes from a combination of human nature and history. The Bible itself comes from the same.
So now you change the subject. I don't claim the Founders intended our nation to be secular. That would be a stupid thing to believe. But I do claim they (as a group) did intend our *government* to be secular -- hence no mention of God in the Constitution. Kengor pretends the Europeans are leading the way on this and we're in danger of following. That's simply false. The USA did it in 1789.
"Explain why a statue of Moses and 10 Commandments can also be found as plain as day smack dab righ in front of the Library of Congress"
There are 15 other statues. Explain those. Explain why a mosaic portrait of Minerva, or the Zodiac are doing in the same building.
Revisionists? LOL
You lib/progs have cahones of alloyed titanium to be throwing that accusation around. The whole ideology of liberalism is based on a lie. You lie to our kids in school about the Founding Fathers, you lie about the constitution, you lie about how Christianity was the basis or motivation for slavery and the most laughable lie is "separation of church and state". It was meant to protect the church from the state.
Funny how it works, quote facts and statements made by the Founding Fathers about their faith in God, your a "revisionst", declare they were atheists who intended for the U.S. to have a totally secular government, you speak the truth..right?
William Penn-"Those who refuse to be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants"
"you're a 'revisionist', declare they were atheists"
I've done no such thing. The only likely atheist I know of was Ethan Allen, and who really knows about him? But maybe this is how you get your "facts." -- by putting words in other people's mouths?
You seem to make the typical Christian mistake. There is no reason to believe Christians and/or Deist *had* to form a religious state. They did not. They, unlike many current insecure Christians, were comfortable with separating government and religion.
I also never claimed that Christians or diests had to form a religious state. I just said that it's false to claim that our Founding Fathers wanted a completely secular one.
Unfortunately for you the Constitution says otherwise.
"I just tried to relay a point from who seemed to be a pretty wise individual and his quote seems to ring true all throughout the bible and world secular history to a very large extent.."
And I think history has shown him to be wrong.
"the perversion and other sewage that's being taught to our kids"
Like what?
