And your point is a perfect example
Hitler''s Germany amalgamated state with church. Soldiers of the Vermacht wore belt buckles inscribed with the following: "Gott mit uns" (God is with us) - Reply to this comment
- Arbitrary Law:
In the 1892 Supreme Court ruling in Church of the Holy Trinity vs. U.S. (citing 87 precedents), "Our laws and our institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings of the Redeemer of Mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise and in this sense and to this extent our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian." Throughout history, the U.S. Supreme Court continually cited previous cases in order to maintain our Christian Constitution. However, in 1962, for the first time in American history, the court cited no previous cases and ruled in Engel vs. Vitale that; because of Separation of Church and State, the government needed to be separated from Christian principles. So, the simple school prayer, "Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon thee and we beg thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers, and our country" became unconstitutional and the eradication of Christianity from public institutions began.

- Christianity defined by whom?
posted by neoconUism
By the Gospels. All of them.
As our founding fathers clearly intended.
We''ve seen what happens when God is constantly thrown out of our government. You get what you ask for.
The answer is JESUS CHRIST. NOT the Government and NOT some twisted politician making false promises! - Reply to this comment

Would you like to demostrate some more publicly bigotry towars Bible believing Christians or are you done?
We WILL take a stand against you history revisionists as long as we have free speech and freedom of expression, and that includes in places OUTSIDE of the home and church, got it?
If you want that type of Government that prevents people from publicly expressing their faith in Christ outside of the home, then MOVE TO SAUDI ARABIA. They will GLADLY take you in with your humanist hate Christians attitude. - Reply to this comment

- While many may squabble over who among the founding fathers was a Christian, no knowledgeable historian of early American history can deny the fact that the concept of a Creator God who endowed His creation with "unalienable rights" was an essential underpinning of the American experiment. Indeed, the Declaration of Independence states, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." These rights were derived not from a government that was transitory, but from a Governor who was eternal. It was the role of government to defend these rights and not dilute or remove them.
The revisionists extend their influence outside the classroom as well into nearly every segment of American life. Descriptions and tours of the nation''s capitol fail to point out that the Ten Commandments are inscribed in the marble of the United States Supreme Court, that there is a beautiful stained glass window in the U.S. Capitol depicting President George Washington kneeling in prayer, and that at the top of the Washington Monument - the highest point in the nation''s capital is embedded a plaque which boldly proclaims in Latin, "Praise Be Unto God." - Reply to this comment

- The Educational Establishment:
One reason we have lost so many of our religious freedoms is that the liberal educational establishment has worked hard to eliminate our knowledge of the Judeo-Christian heritage of America. The facts nonetheless reveal the true convictions of our founders. Without question, they believed that although no one Christian denomination should dominate the nation, the principles of the Bible and Christianity should underlie our government and American education as well.

So are these quotes from "right wing journalists" ya liar?:
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ."
- Patrick Henry
"Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of a Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers."
- U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Jay
"It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God or the Bible"
-George Washington
Also, are you going to try to deny that every single President in US history has sworn in on the Bible while taking the oath of office?
ARe you going to twist and lie about this fact as well? - Reply to this comment
- They should read the Bible. They might learn something. Regardless to how things appear now, this country and it''s partner, Great Britain, will continue to be the Dual World Powers. This country is what makes their country tick. Can they eat their OIL? This country will prevail and their 3rd world standing will continue to be as it is... Backwards...

- Our children''s history books are being rewritten so they no longer hear the truth about the tremendous influence of religious faith on America''s founding fathers, on the great documents they drafted to establish a true republic based, on the critical tripod of liberty, life, and family. The revisionist history being taught now is devoid of any reference to the Christian faith of our Founding Fathers as the old stories, the old way that American history was taught, was revised to reflect a more liberal, politically correct, homogenized and multicultural perspective.
Words like duty and honor and country have fallen out of vogue, and the stories of the Christian faith of men like George Washington and Patrick Henry and Noah Webster and so many others, Daniel Webster, Andy Jackson, Chief Justice John Marshall - magnificent Christians - these stories are simply left out.

- Fall of the American empire? I doubt it. Even the crash of 1929 didn''t do that. Just goes to show how ignorant, stupid, and un-educated these Hamas weenies really are. By the way...THEIR oil is selling for less now...did that ever occur to them? Duh?

- "The liberties we talk about defending today were established by men who took their conceptions of man from the great central religious tradition of Western civilization [Christianity], and the liberties we inherit can almost certainly not survive the abandonment of that tradition. The decay of decency in the modern age, the rebellion against law and good faith, the treatment of human beings as things, as mere instruments of power and ambition, is without a doubt the consequence of the decay of the belief in man as someone more than an animal animated by highly conditioned reflexes and chemical reactions. For unless man is something more than that, he has no rights that anyone is bound to respect, and there are no limitations upon his conduct which he is bound to obey. This is the forgotten foundation of democracy."
