[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That will never happen.[/quote]

Yeahhhh, sorry. The intelligent among us aren’t buying the “that will never happen” line anymore.[/quote]

Yeah, I am actually pretty sure that there were presentations being made to church folk in the 1970s about this. My mother occasionally admits that this was the case, and that she is totally in favor of a church-led government. Other times, she pretends she is just a fox-news'watching "regular" conservative. So she is insane, and possibly not the best source, but I do believe there was some organizing around this idea in the 70s/80s that led to insane voting populations that include my mother.[/quote]

Really? You are “pretty sure” “presentations” were made to “church folk” in the 1970s? Please, link some credible sources. Who gave these presentations? What church populations did they speak to? What did their material instruct them to say?

Haha, as I said, I am a secondhand, noncredible source. The reason I believe it is because my mother doesn't have strong opinions unless they were presented to her in a big-setting, emotionally manipulative way, and (less credibly) occasionally she says it happened (and other times, denies same), in an independent, fundamentalist, evangelical church in Virginia. I am just passing on some anecdotal crap, as one does on an internet forum . I am not reporting to the nytimes.[/quote]

In my imagination, the presentation has 2 parts:

Part 1: The Founding Fathers of our country intended USA to be Christian nation (despite all that moving to America for religious freedom). The country should be Christ-led. We will elect leaders who are Christian OR chosen by our Lord (supposedly Trump was chosen by the evangelicals' lord)

Part 2: Abortion, even though you had no problems with it before, is actually baby-murder. Women, be subservient. Think of the baby Jesus! Also: do not be sluts. Etc.

That sounds just like Jerry Falwell.

“BRINGING THIS NATION BACK TO GOD AND I ' LL BE TAL KING ABOUT THE OLD TIME GOSPEL HOUR SURVIVAL FUND. AND HOW THAT YOU CAN HELP US BE A PART OF SAVING AMERICA. ”

“AND YET THE FOUNDING FATHERS, I F THEY KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN OUR LAND TODAY, THROWING GOD OUT OF PUBLIC L I F E , AND REMOVING MANGER SCENES FROM CITY HALLS. OUR CHILDREN NO LONGER ABLE TO PRAY IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL IN THIS COUNTRY AND ALL ACROSS AMERICA ANTI-CHRISTIAN INFLUENCE ALMOST SECULARIZING T H I S N A T I O N , THEY WOULD TURN OVER I N T H E I R G R A V E S .”

“IN THE ROTUNDA, IS THE FIGURE OF A CRUCIFIED CHRIST. ON THE WALLS OF THE CAPITAL DOME THESE WORDS APPEAR "THE NEW TESTAMENT ACCORDING TO THE LORD AND SAVIOUR J E S U S C H R I S T " . ON THE GREAT SEAL OF THE UNITED STATES I S INSCRIBED THE PHRASE, " I N U I T COLLECTOUS" WHICH MEANS GOD HAS SMILED ON OUR UNDERTAKING. THESE A R E N ' T J U S T S I G N S HUNG UPON THE WALLS. THESE CONVICTIONS ARE A PART OF THE WALLS THEMSELVES.”

“I WANT YOU TO GET MAD TODAY. NOT AT PERSONS BUT OUTRAGED BY THE EFF ORTS THAT ARE BEING MADE TO MAKE T H I S A
SECULAR NATION LIKE THE SOVIET UNION, LI KE RED CHINA”.  (Sounds like a certain DCUM poster)

“IF YOU CAN MAKE IT A $1,000 GIFT, DO SO, OR $5,000 OR $10,000 OR $100 OR $50. I DON'T
KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO BUT MAI E IT THE MOST GENEROUS GIFT POSSIBLE. WE'VE GOT TWO WEEKS IN WHICH WE MUST PAY OFF A $3 MILLION NOTE ”

Can’t believe that people fell for this con artist.

Never heard of "Inuit collectous" so looked it up and found this:

Your search - "INUIT COLLECTOUS" - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
Try different keywords.
Try more general keywords.

Also, found nothing for IN[b]T[/b]UIT COLLECTOUS.  Clearly the whole thing is made up.[/quote]

Hey, this is easy enough to look up. Some of the words on the United States Great Seal are "Annuit coeptis" which means "Providence favors our undertakings" which Falwell would read as "God's on our side." But anyway, this was misspelled in the PDF which seems to be a transcript.
