Christian Nation

[Rev. Rye]

I don't give much credit to the Treaty of Triploi because of how quickly we went to war with them.....to me, it was just a BS treaty no different than the Japanese pretending to seek negotiations prior to Pearl Harbor.

The big thing is this: the Treaty of Tripoli was made around the same time as the US was coming on its own, and its text was made public, and here's the key thing: nobody objected to that passage's being put in it.

The words "god", "jesus", christ, and "christian" do not appear in the constitution. So much for your xtian horseshit.

true, but it has in the year of our lord on it.

More of a matter of linguistics than anything else. This was in the time when just saying 1787 wasn't self explanatory.

i'm saying the court case that established seperation of church was bogus because it's not what the founding fathers intended as was argued at the cases. they took the term out of context from a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptist Association made it out to mean something Thomas Jefferson never meant it to mean.

And which court case is that exactly? And, even if they did intend for the U.S. to be a "Christian Nation", does this necessarily mean this is a good idea?
