First Amendment = Christianity Only

[ThomM]

Bryan Fischer of the American Family Association said Tuesday that the founding fathers intended the First Amendment to only protect Christianity, not Islam or any other religions.

On his radio program, called Focal Point, Fischer said the word “religion” in the First Amendment referred to Christianity alone. That is why, according to Fischer, Satanists cannot seek equal representation at the Oklahoma statehouse grounds.

“At the time of the founding [of the United States], 99.8 percent of the population of the colonies were Christians. The other 0.2 percent were Jews,” he said.

“But the point is, by ‘religion’ the founders were thinking of Christianity,” Fischer continued. “So the purpose was to protect the free exercise of the Christian faith. It wasn’t about protecting anything else.”

“They weren’t providing any cover or shelter for the free exercise of Islam or even Judaism or even atheism. They weren’t saying you can’t do it — I want to be clear on that — they weren’t prohibiting that, they were just saying that is not what we are talking about here.”

Sorry - but a large number of the founding fathers were Deists - and they certainly did not intend the first amendment not to apply to their religions

But then - this is just another statement by an Xtian deluded by his own beliefs - so much so - as to ignore history..

They were also quite big on slavery.

So why the fuck are their 'intentions' still relevant.

Not to mention, they didn't seem to think women worthy of the right to vote or really do anything other than spit out babies.

....then again, I'm pretty sure Bryan Fischer thinks that, too. :/

But then - that is what the Bible thinks of Women as well -
Read 1 Timothy 2 - women are not to have ANY authority over men - are to be silent and submissive and have children . Even the current pope is not allowing women to be priests again!
