(BTW, it would have sufficed, but thanks for the other links.)Anytime you want to know the history of American politics or religious issues some good sources are the American Presidency Project site http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=29630 or the New York Times archives. You can trace the progress of an issue through the years on an almost daily basis.
Sorry for doubting your claims. (I simply thought you got the dates mixed up--that's why I asked you for a citation.) It's certainly something worth taking a closer look at.
Why is this not more widely-known? I'm certainly going to look into this further.
On a side note, this has been quite the "learning" thread for me today. I've had two incorrect assumptions corrected. I'd say I'm getting my money's worth.
BTW, when you see people claiming that the Bible was originally written in Greek they are full of shit. The Bible as a complete book that we today wasn't written until the 690s and it was written in Latin. All of the so-called Greek Bibles were written in the modern Greek alphabet. And if you want to have some fun get a copy of a Greek Bible like the so-called Codex Sinaiticus http://www.jacksonsnyder.com/yah/manuscr...iticus.pdf and copy some verses and put them into a translator program. n https://www.bing.com/translator/ = one of many.
