As always, you provide absolutely no evidence to support the dogma of your Cult but the authors of the Constitution did provide explanations of why they created the document involved and why they found the greatest threat to the creation of a nation here was Fundamental Christianity. To protect the populus from Fundamental Christianity they included the First Amendment.

Actually the best of the Enlightenment was inspired by a fear of Christianity so you can say that the example of Christianity inspired the separation from it's threat.

Yet you have never been able to show any evidence of paganism or that there is any issue with paganism or that the First Amendment was not intended to make sure that the Puritan nutjobs could only threaten their own gullible members.

The majority mindset of the day was that there was no such thing as "The Christian God™" and that Christianity should never gain any power beyond verbal persuasion. The whole experience of the colonies was that no Christian Sect should have any political power or could be trusted with any power. Thank God the very FIRST amendment to the Constitution made that very clear.

Yes, there were violations of the Constitution particularly by individual states but thank God those abominations like Bibles printed for use in the schools or laws against anti-Christian speech were rightly deemed as violations of the Constitution and forbidden. And there is no such thing as "essential Christianity" as is amply demonstrated by all of the evidence ever seen. There are no general Christian Principles just as there is no evidence of a Young Earth or Biblical Flood or Special Creation.

Again you simply spout nonsense. It was the States and individual Sects that tried to put Bibles in Schools, pass laws preventing anti-Christian Speech and not the Federal Government. How did the Federal Government violate the Constitution?

And the Supreme Court has since then corrected their errors.
But you still seem to place your demonic god over Allah and that cannot be allowed in a civilized state.

And, as usual, you do not address what I posted but rather try to move the goal posts, con the rubes, misdirect attention and all the other dishonorable and dishonest tactics that are the norm for you. Please show where I said "A civilized state would of course promote the bombing and shooting-up of churches and malls and places of entertainment, and the hijacking of airplanes to destroy buildings and kill thousands in the name of Allah and so on" or simply admit that you are once again simply telling falsehoods (that means lying).

Remember that the strongly affiliated will also include those of us who are members of one of the know chapters of Club Christian that have no issues with any of the findings of science and are not members of the Christian Cult of Ignorance.

You do realize that there is a difference between Harvard University and Harvard Divinity School? While the Divinity School is certainly part of the University it is only one part. You do understand that education in the West was simply trying to catch up to the general education level found in the rest of the world, particularly the Muslim, Taoist, Buddhist nations?

Yet the fact remains, the Christian West lagged far behind the rest of the civilized world when it came to education, literacy, personal freedom, standards of living and societal justice.

The colleges and universities that existed in the Muslim, Taoist and Buddhist world during the Dark Ages of the West.
Really Faith, learn just some basic history. Look at the actual history of China and India and the marvel that was the Muslim world.

Of course I have proof Faith, just look at the history of education under the Iberian Caliphs.
Once you realize how ignorant you really are we can move on to the basic tenets of Taoism and Confucianism where a duty of any ruler was to see to the prosperity and education of the citizenry. AbE:

I did Faith. I posted both the link and a summary of the content.
Learn how to read.

Too funny Faith. We are not talking about quotes but rather facts. Lots of facts.
Lots and lots of facts. Lets look at what I actually posted instead of your continuing misrepresentations and utter ignorance. From Message 77 quote: The link is to an article on the education under the caliphs of the Iberian Peninsula and the summary explains that it is an article about that subject. then there was (from the same message) : quote: Another link and I even summarized it as "A few other sites of learning". I understand you prefer remaining ignorant but I cannot do much more than providing you the opportunity to learn. And as I said; once you realize how ignorant you really are and decide you would like to learn we can move on to the basic tenets of Taoism and Confucianism where a duty of any ruler was to see to the prosperity and education of the citizenry.
