RE: What do Christians Mean by "Restoe our Nation?"

Hey, Drippy. The founders wanted gawd out of government.
See first amendment:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"
I really wish the ignore feature would also replace the text from quotes with the "this user in on your ignore list" message. Then the forum really could be Drippy free.

To when kids said, "Yes, ma'am" and "Yes, sir" and showed respect to anyone over 21.
To when drugs were something prescribed by a doctor.
To a time when couples waited until they were married before they had sex.
To a time when couples got married before living together.
To when kids might sneak a drink of alcohol but not enough that their parents would notice.
In short, to a time that never existed in the first place. Formalities like sir and ma'am aside.
Oh gee, as if there was no drug trade in the 20ies, 30ies, 40ies and 50ies. As if there wasn't premarital sex since humanity existed. The only difference being, kids being less informed about the consequences back then. Oh, and there was absolutely no boozing going on between 1920 and 1933.
Oh, c'mon now. You can't possibly be implying that "Leave it to Beaver" lied to us.

In 1980, Reagan won 44 States and 489 electoral votes to Carter's six and 49.
In 1984, Reagan won 49 states and 525 electoral votes to Mondale's one and 15.
This happened for a reason. (emphasis is mine)
Actually, for many reasons. Just not the ones you think.

Coke contained cocaine. http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/cocaine.asp And even today Coke is hardly a health drink.
It's amazing how many people think the spelling of coca plant and Coca-cola are purely coincidental even though it still contains coca leaf extract, if not the cocaine of the original product.

Coming from the guy who can't make sense of there and their... I believe someone once said that you should remove the plank from thine own eye so you can see straight... who am I kidding, I'm wasting my breath. Anyone who starts a thread with, "You atheists have no morals, just pop morality. Etc etc etc. Sincerely, the guy with pop religion," is beyond reason.
Quote:But to Restore it is to put God back into how we govern ourselves. to restore it back to how our founding Fathers established it
The founding fathers? You mean the racist, sexist, conquesting, genocidal, slave-driving rapists? I can see the appeal for you, since that's the same type of people who wrote the Old Testament.
Jesus is like Pinocchio. He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.

Like Min said, Christians do not understand the history of their country.

I'm an equal opportunity poster. 
Your opinion on other people's medical care doesn't matter....its private and only applicable to them.
There was no equal opportunity for my family during those times. Those were dark days.
No thanks.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Here's an article that speaks about the golden age of HBCU's - an age that is in our past:
The history of HBCUs in America
http://www.americanradioworks.org/segments/hbcu-history/
And here's a chart showing the how the state of the African-American family today compares with that of a mere 50 years ago:

Now, you are far more qualified to speak about the Black Experience than I am. However, for all of the racial problems that had yet to be solved, one thing is certain IMO: in the age that I described in my post, the Black community still had hope for a better future. Black kids were born into homes with married parents. Black parents worked to send their kids to college so that they could have a better life.
The data I've highlighted seems to suggest that the dream has faded for the majority of African-Americans, and this is why I stand by my opinion that there was a time in our nation's past when hope for the future was still within reach.

Yes, there are things in this nation that are in dire need of fixing, I don't think anyone here is going to deny that. But you've chosen one single statistic out of innumerable others, for what, to show that in this specific case there is an upward trend?
Additionally, african american communities are very religious on average. What does that say about the influence of god on that single chosen statistic of yours?
