Therefore, the "creator" spoken of by the Founding Fathers is the God of the Bible. This doesn't mean that people of other faiths aren't free to practice them; it does mean, though, that those religions can't lay any claim to influencing America's founding. Revolutionary War soldiers shouted "No king but King Jesus!", not king Mohammed, not king Buddha, not king Krishna. However much that may upset you, Nicea, that's historical reality. Try embracing it for a change.Seane-Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02223095530241687589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446897466778143968.post-53595654246018015962008-08-17T05:40:00.000-05:002008-08-17T05:40:00.000-05:00"The founders did not separate God from government..."The founders did not separate God from government"<BR/><BR/>But will President Obama and his mentor's like the Rev.

Mostly about the Islamic world.<BR/><BR/>Also in Japan, this is a sensitive issue, as the Yasukuni Shrine is related to wartime fascism.<BR/><BR/>Coincidentally, it is the End of War Memorial Day.Σ.

It sounds as though you want to change the Constitution to suit the situation as you see it. It is not being unamerican to state the obvious, and I know you can say obvious to whom.....I cannot change your mind nor can you change mine so be it.....Thanks for stopping by and your input is appreciated.

What will they be asking for in return ?????stay well...." <BR/><BR/>Any time you let the Gov.give you something it just puts You more under their thumb.Plus anything you give up to the Gov. you will never get it back.That is why I'm against any gun control. I believe no one needs a a fully automatic weapon except Military or law enforcement, but if you give them up then it starts to snowball. Then they will get your pistols then rifles, then your shotguns& then we're naked.

Tapline, who will decide who the creator is? The Declaration of Independence states "...their creator.." There are many different people protected by our constitution with many different faiths. Will the christians decide for all Americans who THEIR creator is? That doesn't sound American.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
