Define "Christian nation"

[Mr. Smith]

The time has come for me to unveil my proof and precedent that a "Christian Nation" would not work.

For the purpose of this thread, I am defining a "Christian Nation" as one that is led and governed by Christians only.

There has only been one country that has been led and governed by Christians. It was required that this government be occupied ONLY by members of the Dutch Reformed Church.

The nation? South Africa during the Apartheid government.

You contradicted your self. On one hand you said Christians then later changed it to "Members of the Reformed Church"

Why do you peddle the presupposition that they are one and the same?

Christians were first so called at Antioch. Dutch reformed church is an entirely different population pool.

Nederlandse Hervormde Kerk not the same as

Verenigende Gereformeerde Kerk

So that was a spelling mistake? You don't know how to spell the word "English"? No wonder your debating skills are so bad.

I've noticed that quite a bit, actually.

Yeah, I know I need to slow down. Sometimes I destroys sentences making me look like I didn't get past 1st grade.
