Re: America. A Christian nation?

Danny, I didn't open this thread to argue more with you. I finished that with you on the other thread. Are you telling me that England wasn't a christian nation, or are you just trying to ruffle my feathers?

Re: America. A Christian nation?

Danny, what country did our founders leave? It was England, which could be categorized as a christian nation. That's all I meant. Rick, this is the biggest false statement I think I have ever read. England was a Christian country, and your small-c fetish is just odd. Do you have any idea why your f...

Re: America. A Christian nation?

Silvertusk said that it surprises him that a Christian Country Denies people treatment if they do not have insurance. So, I got the impression from his post that he was talking about Hospitals, or Government being the Christian part of our country. Who else would he be referring to? Who does he cla...

Re: America. A Christian nation?

More cut and paste rhetoric. I know and you know. We all know that the FFs were influenced by their Christian heritage. Agreed. However, what we are talking about is whether the country was founded as a Christian nation. Not, was it founded by Christians. If someone says a prayer before a football ...

Re: America. A Christian nation?

I'd like to find out what different people believe on this question. You can give proofs or just opinions on why you believe The United States of America is or isn't a Christian nation. I believe It's a nation founded on many Biblical principles, but at present is only a nominally Christian nation....

Re: America. A Christian nation?

It solves a lot of problems though - the NHS means that anyone suffering from Cancer can get treatment. Ok there are some issues that might involve travelling, and there are waiting lists - but everyone can get treatment. People who are richer can go private anyway to avoid some of the NHS pitfalls...

Re: America. A Christian nation?

There is nothing in our founding documents that makes us a Christian nation. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." ...

Arrested!

Last week I was traveling across the pond, and arrived at Heathrow Airport. While going through the screening checkpoint, I was approached by British secret Service, and then arrested for smuggling toothpaste into England!

Re: America. A Christian nation?

Canuckster, :clap: Thanks for that post. Very well written, and makes many very good points that I couldn't have expressed nearly as well as you did. I have a couple of questions for you since you seem to have studied this subject. Were the founding fathers truly Christian or deists? In the writings...

Re: America. A Christian nation?

Is America a "Christian" Nation? History disputes the idea that this is a nation under covenant with God. Were it so, the founding fathers would have all been Christians in the true sense. And they would have established belief in and obedience to Jesus Christ as the primary criterion for ...
