NLBS #48: The United States Is Not, And Never Was, A Christian Nation

a reply to: Gorman91While there are some isolated quotes by some of the Founding Fathers, the vast majority did not share your opinion. For a better understanding from the original papers of the Founding Fathers, please go to wallbuilders.com. Yes, we were definitely founded as a Christian nation. Sorry.

Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen (Muslims); and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan (Mohammedan) nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries. John Adams treaty of Tripoli.



The whole history of these books [the Gospels] is so defective and doubtful that it seems vain to attempt minute enquiry into it: and such tricks have been played with their text, and with the texts of other books relating to them, that we have a right, from that cause, to entertain much doubt what parts of them are genuine. In the New Testament there is internal evidence that parts of it have proceeded from an extraordinary man; and that other parts are of the fabric of very inferior minds. It is as easy to separate those parts, as to pick out diamonds from dunghills.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Adams, January 24, 1814


There are hundreds more examples.

Good video.
We in the UK are sick of being bombarded with the U.S. state religion.
It is not the CHRISTIANITY that Christ or even Paul taught.
It is a worship of Mamon and the Anti Christ.
Donald Trump is an Anti Christ, not a Chistisn.
Camels and needles, anyone!??

wacky page 1.....
but Jefferson had his own ...." red letters only " bible.......

and I read here on ats ground zero was the little chapel location in the old days.....where the old boys went......

How come the house of representatives looks exactly like a church.

Why do we call them congress.

Why are the law enforcers named after Judas?

Why are the law makers called sin it?

Why do we drive on a park way and park in a drive way?

There is a valid reason those names were chosen to represent the actions and places they describe. By referring to the root of the words and using those definitions to form an opinion then you can know the answer to your question. The same goes with my post and the answer is it aligns with the gov. being founded on Christianity.

Yeah and there is valid reason we park in a driveway.

You are grasping at straws, my friend. Words change, language evolves. Not everything means the same as the exact root.

Plus:

Senate has NOTHING to do with sin.

Middle English

senat < Latin senātus council of elders,

equivalent to sen (old) + -ātus -ate

Nice try.

Because things often times look like whatever you want them to look like. Especially for the devout religious types.

Why do we call them congress.

According to the dictionary it comes from the root words meaning "come together".

Why are the law enforcers named after Judas?

If you mean "Judges" it's not. Not that I found anyway.

Why are the law makers called sin it?

Not even going to play along with that one. Only Mr. Fantastic can make that stretch happen.

From what I found judge means separate.

Ancient Greek. To separate seed from shaft.

do you guys know if any where in the volumes of this thread someone mentioned the early timers founding the new country ( the Isle of the Sea in the bible you know....the U. S. ) outlawed Catholic in any form for the past 150 years and it really just got accepted due to the gradual passing of so many decades...
so there was strong main objective....with protestant good bible facts......that by definition must have had their attention....

Here's one for you along those lines though. Why is it when a bunch of politicians get together it's called a "caucus" or "Cock-Ass"??? All I know is someone is sure going to get screwed!!
