Irony, much? I dare you to find a weaker support for your contention. The only thing Congress endorsed for that Bible was that it was an accurate copy of the Bible. That prayer wasn't Jefferson's, but if it were, it wouldn't make the USA any more founded on Christianity.
We LOVE documents like those.
And even if it was founded by christians (most of the founding father were)It doesn't matter as they all endorsed and up held seperation of church and state, a value found no where in the bible.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
