Naw....really, in my humble, tiny, little opinion, I just think it's a mistake when we do these flag-waving, Bible-thumping celebrations of our "Nation that was founded on Christian principles." For the most part, very few of our founding fathers were Christians. Deists? Yes, they were. Christians? No way.
Thomas Jefferson even assembled a Bible in which he removed most all of the things that we, as Christ-followers, hold dear.
Would we REALLY want a modern-day government that operated by the standards and morals of our founding fathers? I, for one, wouldn't want that.
When we attempt to change society through law, we should realize that the Old Testament has already proven that doesn't work. We cannot legislate righteousness.
I better stop...I'm probably as passionate about this as D. James Kennedy was from the other side!

Well, maybe I should. What's your opinion of the whole "founding fathers" thing?

I haven't read much about them except that they were Deists. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deism
This could be educational for us all. You may be surprised. Some folks might agree with you and some might react strongly to your POV. Paul hoped to win all but knew it would only be some.

Are you a prophet?

I have seen many visions of future events and seen them come to pass down to the finest detail. But I don't think I'm a prophet. And I should clarify that prophesy is not all about seeing the future.
I'm guessing you're being humorous with the question, but I have to admit, I'm not sure what you mean....unless you're talking about how much the prophets got whooped on!

You keep predicting that no matter what you post will be thrashed. I just thought maybe.....

Thanks for explaining....I'm not always the brightest bulb in the building, you know.
I'm basing that statement on how many times I've been verbally horse-whipped!! ; )
You know, to be fair though, as long as I avoid a select few, things have become fairly civil. I was called a "holier-than-thou" by Admin earlier in this thread which was pretty awesome considering I don't follow the "code of holiness"!! ; )
Ok, tell you what...if I can figure out how to start a thread, I'll give it a shot. But if I get gang-tackled, I'm blaming it on you!

Better yet, blame it on the devil!
