    Is the United States a Christian Nation | 2 comments (2 topical, 0 hidden)
    Christian Nation (none / 0) (#1)
    by Eric T on Sun Apr 12, 2009 at 08:18:42 PM EST
    The People of this nation, the majority are  Christian. Our customs, traditions, values, many laws have come from the Nations Christian Heritage. We have the ability to elect representatives that reflect our values. If politicians wanted to pass laws that allowed, infant sacrifices, cannibalism, polygamy, gay marriage, Some version of Islamic law that allows cutting off thieves hands or feet. People can decide if they don't want those social issues, by voting. The problem is when the courts bypass the will of the people on these social issues.

    Our government is suppose to stay neutral on religion.

    "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

    I think this was designed to maximize freedom, at a time when people were leaving Europe to seek religious freedom here in the U.S. The framers did not want to establish an official church like the Anglican Church, (Church of England).

    I think there was great wisdom in NOT allowing an official church to be created. The possibility for corruption would be too great, and it would eventually be used as a political arm of the government.

     You can see that the 1st Amendment is designed to protect the people and Churches from the government. Here is a recent example of where a government is trying to control the Church.

    Here in this link, you can see a politician trying to change church doctrine for his political purposes, It is almost as if this politician feels he knows God's word better than the Pope. We know he don't, and if he tried this in Iran or some hardcore Islamic country they'd probably tell him to "Take his lame ideas and shove it"
     If you look closely you can see how the media tries to paint the church as backwards.
