"We do not consider ourselves a christian nation", says Obama

The statement The United States is not a Christian nation is just a reciting of the Muslim/atheist’s Tripoli treatment interpretation. The US used exactly the same wording according to the Muslim/atheist’s Tripoli treatment interpretation. Soon after that the USMC was tearing apart Muslim sea pirates, the ones who were assured - according to atheistic beliefs - that the US was not a Christian nation, the ones whose piracy have been defended by the “peaceful” Muslim of DP Laila with such a militant rage.

Wow. It took over 90 posts before someone brought this up.

Treaty of peace and Friendship between the United States and the Bey and Subjects of Tripoli of Barbary.Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

This was ratified by the US Senate....when many if not most of the Senators were also the "Founding Fathers". Certainly most of the "founders" were still alive.

The United States is not a "christian nation".
 
The concept of binary calculations used in writing software (when absence of software makes a computer to be a piece of junk metal and plastic), was developed by a Christian creationists scientist and mathematician Leibniz. Actually he was not a scientist and mathematician ( one of most fundamental ones) but he was a Christian theologian; scientific and mathematical achievements (one of the greatest) were byproducts of his thoughts about God. Atheists shouldn’t use computers.

An interesting idea.

The Babylonians invented the Zero. Everyman with a penis is familiar with the number one. Therefore, one could argue, using your line of reasoning, that the binary system is the product of gay babylonians and since the Babylonians had nothing to do with the Hebrews, then God had nothing to do with computer technology at all.
 
Obama was 100% right. Its refreshing to have a President who actually understands and respects the US Constitution.

We don't have one of those.

When you come to understand and respect the constitution, you'll know what I mean.
 
i hear this statement a lot. If all the christians are leading christ-like lives, kinda makes me wonder where all the sin is coming from.

Unless some of those christians are lying......

exactly!!!!
 
-Almost 90% of Americans consider themselves Christian.

-We celebrate Christmas, while Jewish, Islamic, and BS, made up holidays like Kwanzaa are tolerated as minority holidays.

-We don't allow polygamy...something Islam embraces, but Christianity opposes.

-We were un-mistakably founded by Anglo-Saxon Christians.

-Our laws derive directly from Judeo-Christian teachings. Several of the ratifying states had official state religions.

-The left's alleged poster boy for their "Church and State" myth, Thomas Jefferson, proposed for our national seal an image of Moses parting the Red Sea, under the inscription, "Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God."

It goes on and on. The only people who don't acknowledge that this is a Christian nation are people like Obama, who hate it and want to change everything about it.
 
Most "Christians" I know don't have a clue as to what true Christian values are.

Why don't you enlighten us as to what "true Christian values are?" (And are you a Christian?)

Thanks!

If you REALLY want to know. Pick up a copy of the New Testament and read it.
Or there is a great book about Christ written by a Mormon..."Jesus the Christ". It does contain some Mormon doctrine, but is an excellent account of Christ's life.

True Christian values would be not only those values that Christ spoke of, but also those that he lived by example.

There are the basics - "Being a good person", "Serving you fellow mankind", "Turning the other cheek", "Forgiveness"
"Humbleness/Meekness".

The problem that I see with the VAST majority of fundamentalist "Christians" is that they have lost their way with any of these teachings. Their churches have become a political pulpit lead by a large number of "Pharisees" who use the name of Christ to pursue a right-wing political agenda...attempting to infiltrate their version of Christianity into the public square. They are way too focused on Abortion and anti-gay rights that they lose sight of the big picture.

I think Christ would take one step into many of these churches and turn around and walk out.

Hmmmmm......that's interesting because I go to an evangelical church and I've never one time heard a sermon about abortion. A handful a times (over a dozen years) we have discussed "gay-rights" in terms of ordination standards and denominational business but that's it.

I'm curious how often you actually attend these churches to witness what you're so sure is happening in there.

Oh .... and I've been to "churches" with a leftist ideology (like a U.U. "church") and I've never seen so much blatant politicizing in a church before in my life! Right-wingers would never get away with that. ;) (Perhaps a Catholic church with the abortion issue may rival it but that's about it.)

eta: And you didn't answer my question. Are you a Christian?

So much useless hate.

Thankyou for replying to his post. I couldnt bring myself to go down to his level.

I dont associate myself with religion because religion is purely for gullable zombies who need to believe in a higher divine to feel like they have a purpose, and because im a rational peaceful person :cool:. Nonetheless, i too celebrate christmas, so that point is pretty much invalid. And you have nothing to support your claims that 90% of americans are christians, thats a load of crap you just threw out there.

92 percent of Americans believe in a higher power. Have a fun life being so hateful of the vast majority of your fellow citizens.

Most Americans Believe in Higher Power, Poll Finds - washingtonpost.com
 
An interesting idea.

It is not an idea. It is the fact. And the fact that it is the fact is the beginning and the end of story.

The Babylonians invented the Zero.

It is not the fact, it is an idea.

Everyman with a penis is familiar with the number one.

It is not clear whether you are establishing a visual reference of a shape or an abstract reference of a number 1. How then do you refer to a vagina? - as not familiar with the number one? but… with zero? as a shape or as an number?

Therefore, one could argue, using your line of reasoning,

The false and vague premises above prove that you cannot maintain neither mine line of reasoning nor a line of reasoning.

that the binary system is the product of gay babylonians and since the Babylonians had nothing to do with the Hebrews, then God had nothing to do with computer technology at all.

Whatever may be my line of reasoning or desirable criticism of my line of reasoning they lay in a totally different dimension than the unintelligible absurd conclusions not even related to the unintelligible absurd premises of yours.

As an irrational number?
 
We are confronting the inaccurate connotation that this nation is Christian because it's always been that way and/or the majority of the populace that has participated in a poll say they are. .

You are making the connotation, - and you are confronting it. There is a name for such a state of a mind.

I am not saying at all that your question is lacking a rational and facts behind it, but I am afraid you are wondering away from the subject.

How do you figure, given that this thread has veered sharply into the relentlessly ridiculous?

It is recommended for all lecturers especially when the subject is difficult to take a break for a joke... it does not mean they want to make a joke out of the subject.
 
If Jesus were to be strolling in America today he'd probably vomit on a regular basis to see how his Sacrifice has been exploited and mangled to support nearly everything he taught against and gave his life for.

Atheists just llove to assume the role of Jesus and provide us with thier highest judgement
