In the beginning of this counrty are majority of founding fathers were Christian or diest, and the population was majority Christian. Seperating church and state was the wise choice of the new free society. Now with so many faiths and ways of thought, they all have say just as much as Christianity.

Seperating church and state was the wise choice of the new free society. Now with so many faiths and ways of thought, they all have say just as much as Christianity. It is Christianity that is being restricted, while all other faiths/beliefs can go and do as they please. Do you think that what happen to Billy Graham was a fair thing? Do you think it having the ten commandment removed from courhouses is fair? Do think it is fair to refer to Christmas as x-mas or winter holidays? Do you think it is fair for a street preachers to be jail for quoting the Bible about homosexuality? Do you think its fair that kids in public schools can not wear the name of Jesus on there bodies? Do you think it fair that christianity can be mocked anywhere without issue? The more the Church becomes politicly correct, the less Christian it becomes. e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here.--Patrick Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw us in jail, and censor us on tv. Does this seem suprising They nailed are Lord to the cross, and it is written that these things will happen. Praise the Lord that Christianity offends the masses so much. Its the only true faith and the only faith that the devil is trying to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a large society, inhabiting an extensive country, it is impossible that the whole should assemble to make laws. The first necessary step, then, is to depute power from the many to a few of the most wise and good. John Adams, Thoughts on Government, 1776 Our problem today is that we don't really have "Wise and Good" to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
