Of course, we can always count on you to tell us what is and what isn't a "fact."

Though the Founders wisely prohibited the Congress from establishing a religion (an officially recognized church, such as the Church of England) it is a historical fact that the the Colonists were Christians of various sects. So, I think it's safe to say that at our founding, we were in fact "a Christian nation." I can't help it if that offends you. History is what it is. You can't change it.

It is a free nation, because we have the right to practice whatever religion we believe in, but the nation was formed based on Christian beliefs. I am sure you learned that in elementary school.

The idea that America is intolerant of homosexuality is just whining. It's just the usual liberal garbage that you spew, "wah wah I'm such a victim wah wah evil conservatives wah wah"

Oh conservatives are such racists for wanting black people to get a job and pay their own bills. Oh conservatives hate women for wanting them to pay for their own birth control. Oh conservatives are such racists for wanting people to follow the immigration laws. Oh conservatives are such racists for wanting people to prove they are citizens before voting.

They hysterical shrieking of liberals about how brutally victimized everyone is by the evil fascist conservatives is pathetic.
Best post of a troll thread.

at least theres a little balance, this was refreshing news, all I hear is gay parades, gay rights, gay marriage demands, even in my own city there's gay pride parades every year! I am glad to hear something against gays although this is extreme of course...

What Christian beliefs are codified into law? God isn't even mentioned in the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson despised most religious elements of Christianity. The only thing he supported was the moral teachings of Jesus. Numerous founders rejected or questioned Jesus' divinity and the Trinity.
