Ahhh but I must disagree...separation of church and state has nothing to do with keeping the church out of the state, but has everything to do with keeping the state out of the church...and as much as some people wanna believe its not true, this country was founded on Christian beliefs...that why our presidents place their hand on a Bible when being sworn in....just wanted to stir the pot a little

Oh yes! I love my country. I dont agree w/ a lot of how its run, but who does?

@WalkSoftly1: Actually it was Lief Erickson who founded America, he was a Viking & an Odinist (Pagan)

Later it was found by Christopher Columbus, Later Odinist were forced to become Christian or suffer death.

@WalkSoftly1: ummmm respectfully I say....no way no how, our founding fathers revolted against the Church interfering in State affairs, NOT the other way around....js

No, they revolted against the Catholic Church, which, at the time, had deep ties within the British goverent. Our founding fathers were no doubt Christians, and those beliefs are the basis of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence...and @april: no, they discovered the land mass, not founded the country...their signatures are nowhere on the Declaration of Independence...nor did they have anything to do with the writing of the Constitution.

@WalkSoftly1: Yep.. you're correct, sorry my wording was off

@WalkSoftly1: was thinking of posting the entire thing of the independance... Might save that for a later day lol

Kudos y'all for disagreeing and discussing maturely....seriously I am impressed with us!

I always discuss w/ understanding. No one neess to fight over personal opinions
