Didn't America go out and kill and convert Iraq to the American way?

That's more the trait of an Islamic nation, no?

Now, I know George Bush was a good Christian an-all, but dang it if his actions weren't Moosileum.

No. It is a post-christian nation. Just like Europe. We hold on to a Judeo-Christian construct, but we do not "believe" (as a nation and as a matter of practice).

Nice.
It always amazes me that people forget that Obama claims he is a Bible-believing Christian.

So I guess according to your thought process that Obama is an idiot bible-thumper.

It doesn't show much discerment or intelligence to label people you disagree with idiots. It just shows intolerance and igorance.

No, i think it's more set up to be of a hybird of collective tribes, modeled after the indian (Natives Americans) tribes that roamed the land when the founders set up "law" for the land.

I think the founders modeled it after these tribes -- Cayuga people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Or maybe this group -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seneca_nation

I know it was in upstate New York at least....

There are a lot of people who don't give a flying flip whether Obama is a Christian or not. That's his business and as long as his religion doesn't impair his ability to do his job impartially, then it simply doesn't matter one way or the other.

What's insulting, is when politicians claim that their faith is the official faith of the nation.



"The constitution established the United States of America as a Christian nation." -John McCain


When asked if America is a Christian nation, Palin responded, "It's mind -boggling to suggest otherwise."
