new coup for you

The Constitution is a document we continue to ratify through our political system. It is relevant.

Anything outside of the Constitution, reguardless of how strongly the founders felt about it, is utterly irrelevant.

Benjamin Franklin loved to **** old chicks. Just loved it. Was famous for it. Should we all **** old chicks? Hardly.

Law is important.

Bill Clinton likes to boff young chicks. Should we let him back in the Whitehouse? Hardly.

Do conservatives have the tendency to insult Clinton when cornered hardwired into their brains?

I was simply responding to your witless comments about Franklin's sex life. What in the world does that have to do with the Founding Fathers' intent concerning religion?

It shows their personal lives don't matter when we construct our law. And that's what their religous views were. Their personal lives.

I'm not sure about your use of the word "ratify" here? Perhaps you meant to say "amend." If that's the case, then I would agree with you on that part. However; to say that the document is relevant but the opinions of the author are not is, well, borderline absurd. That would be like reading "Star Wars" (the original - I'm a Star Wars freak) and saying that George Lucas' intent/views concerning the story are irrelevant - the only thing relevant is how WE interpret it. I don't buy it.

The opinions that mattered for our government are in the document, the other ones are not.

It is simple: this country was not founded on any one religion but was founded on freedom of and FROM religion.

Prove it. The evidence states otherwise - from the words of the Founders themselves. Let's see how many "other" religions (not based in Christianity) you can find evidence of in the history of the Founding Fathers and the creation of the United States. And before you start, the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment is NOT proof that our nation wasn't founded on Christian Principles - it simply proves the Founders were smart men who added the words they needed to to insure the Constituion would be ratified under the conditions, WITHOUT excluding ANY specific religion. Take this into consideration as well; how many OTHER religions (not based in Christianity) were TRULY represented in the U.S. in 1798?

If our nation was founded in Christianity the Constitution would say so. It's the legal document upon which our laws are founded.
