A person can believe what they want..its the cool thing about being a American..You also can voice those beliefs..another cool thing about being a American.
A few historical facts on Christianity.
Christianity brought the world out of the dark ages.Before people were illiterate and barbarous toward one another.Rape and murder.starvation where the order of the day.
Christianity spread literacy through out the world.It is what taught the world to read and civilized the worlds actions.
Christianity promoted trade around the world and prospered the world as a whole.
Most of the founders where Christian or believed in a higher power of some sort.They knew they were only human and did not know all.
You said you have read their writings.How often to you hear them mention god or lord of whatever higher power the particular founder happened to believe in.Lots hu?
How many of our founders where also preachers?Indeed preachers led in the revolution..many of them actually.
Society was based on those little church's spread all across the country side through out the colony's.
Where the founders stupid or weak minded because they believed in God?I cant come to that assumption from reading their writings myself.
Actually they were visionary's who were very brilliant.
Kings before the spread of Christianity did not like it a bit.Before that they were God.After Christianity it put some sort of limitations on their ruthless butchery and theft.
If you believe in God or not i can recognize that a smart man may not believe in God..you should also know and recognize a smart man might believe in god also.
After witnessing many things that can only be described as miracles,and reading of many accounts through out history that can only be described as miracles with the only explanation being the hand of God at work i believe.
Example would be this country and George Washington.He should have been dead a thousand times.There is no logical reason he was not killed..a thousand times,But he didnt die.
This country should have never existed and the founders should have never defeated the Britts.
You can call it skill..or dumb luck,8 years of lucky is allot of luck and skill.
Not to mention the writing of the constitution,Extremely difficult.
A FEW FACTS ABOUT YOUR MADE UP HISTORICAL FACTS
ONE -Actually the Dark Ages STARTED less than a century after the Roman Empire adopted Christianity as its Official Faith.
TWO - The Analects of Confucius, The Ancient Greek Enlightenment and many other cultural and intellectual highs preceded the Bible.
DO YU RELIGIOUS GUYS ACCEPT ANYTHING THAT AN ORDAINED MINISTER OR PRIEST TELLS YOU???
YOU CERTAINLY TRY TO GET OTHERS TO SWALLOW THE CRAP YOU BELIEVE.
NONE OF YOUR HISTORICAL FACTS WERE EVEN FACTS.
Why mention the Koran or Torah ???
On a site with so few Muslims or Jews it would feel like a Klan meeting
"Let's all talk about those rag headed Moslims - whilst they're not here to defend themselves".
YOU IDIOT CHRISTIANS ARE HERE
AND WHEN YOU TRY TO DEFEND YOURSELVES YOU ALWAYS ATTEMPT TO SOUND INFORMED
WHICH USUALLY RESULTS IN ME GETTING A REAL LAUGH OUT OF IT.
"CHRISTIANITY ENDED THE DARK AGES"....!!!
Read a history book and educate yourself to the reality of the situation
Not the supernatural dream.
