Re: What does it mean to be a "christian nation"

Quote:
A perfect example is education, some believe in the significance of organized prayer to start classes.
One persons right do not trump another. You can pray yourself, but you can't make anyone else do it.

Quote:
Some people find significance in living in a purely Christian community, which is clearly not allowed in a secular society.
Thats not true at all. Christians are more than welcome to live in a purely Christian community. All they have to do build a compound and live in. Although I hate to use Phelps as an example, he certainly lives in a Christian Community.

Quote:
The point is that you can't ignore the free exercise clause, which the imposition of secular government institutions does.
Show of some examples.
