Re: don't rock the boat
You know what "hater" means as a PC .... I hate evil, .... .
No, I've understood that the Constitution does not ever allow actions contrary to law, that is why I assume there would be restraint on evil religions like Islam.
AGAIN, the only conflict between secular law and the Bible that I'm aware of is gay marriage. And as I said, go ahead and persecute. ....
Prayer is a good example in context, ....

Re: don't rock the boat
You know what "hater" means as a PC epithet. you lying louse. I hate evil, you creep. Sorry the same can't be said of the likes of you.
I'm telling the truth, and I will do so again here:
You've also admitted hating some dead people, namely some of the founding fathers. So yeah, you are a hater.

Re: don't rock the boat
...prayer in schools was not effectively challenged until Madalyn Murray...
Catholics started the parochial school system in the 1840s when Protestant officials forced Protestant prayers and practices on Catholic kids. Catholics complained but schools didn't change. I expect Jews were also unhappy.

I reported accurate exactly what you said. You assassinated your own character. You are also the one who insists that hater means racist even though we use that term primarily for other reasons. When I need to call you a racist or homophobe, I won't mince words.
I recall a previous discussion where you patted yourself on the back for not judging folks. Percy indicated that agreed with your self-assessment.

Prior to the Constitution, and in some locations/colonies, of course that was the case. In others, not so much. But such dominance is not a constitutional principle.

Re: marriage ordinance again
As I thought nothing about marriage.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: don't rock the boat
Now you are lying about what you have said in the past. That is very poor form.
And as always you have nothing to back your assertion. Nothing in the Constitution says jack shit about citizens needing to follow your book of myths.
Do you ever have anything to back up your claims?

Re: don't rock the boat
All this just makes me hate some of the Founders for their stupid Enlightenment deism that caused them to betray the Christian foundations of this country
So admit that some of the Founders did not advocate your stance and were actively against it.
You are actually advocating the overthrow of the Constitution. That is treason.

Re: don't rock the boat
Hating the enlightenment mentality of the main founders is not the same as wanting to overthrow the Constitution. Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Paine and Franklin were deists who did choose to leave the truth out of the Constitution but nevertheless said many things strongly supportive of the necessary Christian character of the nation in person. The Constitution is all that holds this pathetically deteriorating nation together, despite leftist efforts to destroy it, so I certainly am not for overthrowing it.

Please, let's have an end to name-calling at all levels. That means do not call individuals names, and do not call groups names. Make actual arguments. Build your case with evidence and argument.

Pretty amusing.
First, you said you hated the founders and not their mentality. I accept this statement as a correction, so I won't mention that again unless some denials pop up.
Secondly, the constitution we have is the constitution that those founders wrote and that was eventually ratified. In particular, some of those things you wish to see were not omitted, they are contrary to the intentions of the founders and that is something that has been shown via direct quotes. Accordingly, it is impossible to hate the mentality of the deist while still revering the constitution which reflects their intentions. You actually are desiring a different constitution that establishes for legal purposes that Christianity is supreme over all other religions and the law, and that the other religions are shams.
The Constitution is all that holds this pathetically deteriorating nation together
I appreciate the respect for the constitution that your statement engenders, but most Christians would not leave God out of the equation. I certainly would not.
Not engaging with the gratuitous lefty insults. I totally agree with Percy that such things are not productive.
