Religion is important in America and their lives. That doesn't mean it's a requirement but to the many millions of people who find salvation in religion it means a lot to hear that they're not on their own and that their nation has not lost its grounding.

To find its founding of religious beliefs one has to go no further than our deceleration... Not many, if any, other nations were founded on such beliefs with them specifically mentioned in their declarations.

If you’d told me that ten years ago, I would have assumed it was from the pages of an
evangelical apocalyptic novel about the end-times. But it’s not. It’s from this week’s headlines.
And it is a scandal.....

Very interesting bit of far left secularism. Secularism is all I saw there, though.

I guess being a repug you don't see the hate posts of your fellow rightists...or maybe they didn't attend the rally in person and "goodwill" doesn't develop until you hear the bagpipes live and sing another stanza of "Amazing Grace"

I think he posted you a link to what is the answer. Sad a**ed secularism that we have been teaching our children long enough for it to have rubbed off on Moore.

They're pretty simple statements actually. I can't believe you're having a hard time comprehending them.

What kind of creature could find fault in that?

Just sayin' ...
They won't watch Beck although they can see him any hour of the day. I think most of this is not taking a chance of being led astray. If you ignore him he can't "get" to you.
