And, why are you so against having Christian influence in our local, state, and federal leadership?
Gawd, I hate this format.
Vic, I am against Christian influence in government because insanity has no place in government. Our Constitution expresses flatly that no establishment of religion shall be emplaced in government.
Christianity depends on faith in revealed suggestions. Government should depend on reason and reality.
Government should embrace justice and morality. Christianity is the antithesis of both. OK, not so much as Islam, but a solid second.
I am against Christian influences in government because America is a land of religious freedom. Muslim, Jain, atheist, Catholic, FSM.... no one gets political power because of one's religion. Recent Republican trends make me reconsider my party affiliation.
This country was not founded on Christian values. It was founded on Enlightenment values of liberty, democracy, secularism, and capitalism. Christianity cherishes few of those. OK, capitalism, since it funds so many churches.
Vic, your thirst for an American theocracy frightens me, and stiffens my backbone to resist you and your kind. Bring it on. We'll be here. Expect us.
