Why didn't the FF take opportunities to advance Christianity? As a matter of fact, in one instance they did. Congress authorized money to supply Indians with Bibles and church buildings. The bigger point though, the FF were leaders of a nation that was predominantly Christian and no action was needed to advance that religion.

Most FF, who debated and wrote the First Amendment to the US Constitution, came from states with established State Churches. The FF agreed, the federal Gov would not declare a National Church considering they would never agree to a particular denomination, as a means to bring the states together to form the federal gov. That compromise has been exaggerated over the last 200 years by progressives to portray the FF as secularist when in fact many were strong Christians.professing Christians.

wiseone, Well said, the public has been brain washed to think "seperation of church and state" as a constitutional pricilpe, existed from the beginnig. However, it was created the last half of the 20th century.

Marriage is to provide a stable environment for children. If 6000 years is recent then we will just disagree on the definition of recent.

Marriage is the institution that society has used to build a stable environment for families. The institution has been wreaked over the last decades for a variety of reasons. To fundamentally change the definition of marriage will accelerate this decline and reduce it to a meaningless arrangement and would be a tragic mistake that our nation can't afford.

Another irony would be the Democrats buying votes with massive give aways while slipping their morally corrupt policies past their constituents.

If you want to place blame, blame those who decades ago declared right and wrong are subjective. We are now reaping what was sowed during the last 5 decades.

Well said, the media has promoted the gay life style since the 60s and it's not surprising to see the acceptance evolve. Any steady promotion will have an impact with time.

The 1947 Everson USSC case that started the ball rolling to purge religion from the public square is another great example of courts doing and end run around the nation’s conscience.

I agree. The left is going to uphold any movemnt that will weaken the military and more so any moral priciple that they have degraded over the past 50 years.
