[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article isn’t troubling. 61% of Republicans said they favored the government declaring the US a Christian nation, and most of those were older Americans. Most under 40 disagreed. So, you can relax.

Because the old folks will die soon, right?  Still, it's scary, because these are the people who studied Civics in public school where they learned that the US is not a Christian nation.[/quote]

Well, they learned that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; but they also learned that the US was founded on Judeo Christian values, and most of the people who settled the US were Christian. [/quote]

Nope.

[i]the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion[/i]

The biggest clue it is not founded on Judeo-Christian values?  The Bible is not mentioned once in the constitution.  I wonder why that is...[/quote]

OP said "Judeo-Christian [b]values[/b]" not the religions themselves. If you don't know that there is a difference this conversation might be over your head.[/quote]

Lol.  How ironic that the guy who ad hominems that something is "over your head" doesn't understand what "United States of America is not, [b][u]in any sense[/u][/b], founded on the Christian religion" means.

[b]Also noticed no one answered when I asked what specific founding values didn't exist before Judaism or Christianity.[/quote][/b]

DP. That one’s easy, you must have little self-awareness to think anybody would want to engage with a troll in an OT gotcha game. You’re quite the little bean counter, aren’t you, taking threads like this as scripture and analyzing them for everything that’s said or, wow, not said. As if anybody cares about this thread as much as you do. [/quote]

Translated as: "I can't respond without failure, so here are a bunch of ad hominems".

ps - If you can't answer a "gotcha" it's because you've been "got" and your point is WRONG.  Those with substantive responses are eager to provide them.[/quote]

LOL. Keep telling yourself you’ve “won” an online debate with internet strangers who can’t be bothered to deal with your ignorance and bigotry on a topic that isn’t even part of the thread but which you’re desperately trying to make happen. You’re funny. [/quote]

Translation: “I have no substantive response.”[/quote]

Translation: pp is desperate to continue an online debate with internet strangers who can’t be bothered to deal with their ignorance and bigotry on a topic that isn’t even part of the thread but which they’re desperately trying to make happen.[/quote]

You nailed the problem here. That was my post you’re quoting (“LOL. Keep telling yourself…) and I’ve stopped engaging with the “fight me” atheist. [/quote]
