CULTURE

"[T]his hyper-sensitivity to religious minorities requires gross insensitivity to America's majority religion. You know, the one that begins with a 'C.' Since at least 9 out of 10 taxpayers are Christians, they foot the bill for a public education system on a search-and-destroy mission against even the mildest expressions of their holidays. America was founded by Christians and based on Judeo-Christian values. The signers of the Declaration of Independence and drafters of the Constitution all were Christians -- not Buddhists, or Wiccans or Zoroastrians. Were it not for Protestant Christianity, we wouldn't have limited government, separation of powers, a Bill of Rights or religious tolerance. In short, without Christians, the United States of America would not exist. Even in an age when traditional religion is driven underground, our currency still says 'One nation under God' -- not one nation under Allah or Shiva. On January 22nd, like all of his predecessors, George W. Bush will take the oath of office on a Bible that tells the story of the Nativity." --Don Feder

This is a very interesting piece. When I first read it I thought of the folks that are trying to ban religious references such as "under God" in the Pledge of Alligiance, and/or banning nativity scenes in a town square.

As a Christian lawsuits such as the ones listed above anger me, because as the article mentioned they are a slap in the face to the virtues, meanings, concepts that our nation was founded on. If you feel differently than maybe you should read the Constitution, and then read the bible and see if you can relate the two together in any way. If you still feel against the combination of God, and the United States in any way, shape, or form that is an obvious trespass of the first amendment than maybe you should move; to a different country.

Thanks, good post Jimmy
