Logic problem: The founding principles of the U.S. and Christianity.

RE: Logic problem: The founding principles of the U.S. and Christianity.
My understanding is that the 'founding fathers',who sailed on The Mayflower and landed at Plymouth Rock,were Puritans,you know, like Oliver Cromwell. The modern Christians who seem to compare the most accurrately with the Puritans seem to me to be good ole Fred Phelps and his spawn.

So I would not go around bragging that my country was founded by such a group of closed minded,superstitious bigots*,but hey,that's just me.

My point:who founded the country is irrelevant, as are the intentions of the writers of the Constitution. In a country (allegedly) "Of the people,by the people,for the people" it is the people who get to decide the kind of country they will have.

They may if they wish abolish the constitution and write a new one at any time,in fact that is effectively what they have done with the amendments.
