Do you ignore, or just give passes to what atheists say? Or, are you just concentrating on Christians' every utterance in order to trap them?
I "may have" overracted (and quotes can be used for "emphasis") but, here's some quotes from this very thread....
"What the Founding Fucking Fathers intended don't mean shit anymore. That was 200+ years ago and things have changed."
"They were also quite big on slavery.
So why the fuck are their 'intentions' still relevant."
"It's fundamentalism for the constitutional crowd (with all of the hypocrisy and ridiculous outcomes you'd expect of fundamentalists and their flawed reading of "scripture")."
You may "say" that this is no proof of a "torn up paper", But, I would be eviscerated here for tyranny and unpatriotism! Actually, Christians tied to the Constitution (in any way) are! And in this thread!
So, let me ask you (and the others) a question.... If religion, God and "any" mention of them in the Constitution were to be removed would you be for it?
That last quote was mine. Way to take it out of context, ronedee. I can't decide if you're clueless or dishonest. In any case, my remark was in the context of characterizing a group of people for whom original intent is the fundamental question and guiding approach to constitutional interpretation -- a position not shared by all constitutional scholars or judges. How you make the leap to concluding that I am of the opinion that the constitution is irrelevant or should be torn up mystifies me.
Please provide evidence that God is mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. If you can't -- and you can't -- then your question is just nonsense.
