"Go back and study American history. The nation is about religious freedom.....for Christians."
Go back and study YOUR history, American fundies (and I'm British. What does that tell you?). It was one of your country's Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, who said:
'Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear'
Also:
"There is more need for lighthouses in our country than churches."
And even:
"But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."
And another of your Founding Fathers, James Madison, said:
'Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise, every expanded prospect'
And also:
'In no instance have... the churches been guardians of the liberties of the people'
And was it not George Washington himself, who said:
'The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion'
Like I say, it speaks volumes of a certain section of a country's population who doesn't know what it's country's founders said, or the meaning behind their words.
Nor about the very document they drew up, the very basis of their nation. Or that people outside their country know more about such.
"The nation is about religious freedom.....for Christians."
Should we expect anything less from right-wing religious freaks. Who clearly know nothing about their own Constitution. Who voted in a right-wing fundy freak of a president who once said about said Constitution:
'It's just a Goddamned piece of paper!'
Says so much about George Dumbya Bush (relative to the early presidents - the Founding Fathers themselves - who wanted to create a true haven & bastion of Freedom). And those who voted for him.
