What part of Christianity isn't compatible with the US Constitution...

Actually, you're inferring that because you're insisting that this particular minority defines Christianity. I'm merely trying to follow your logic, which isn't easy because it's not logical lol.

How much of a minority do you need to classify it as “part of”, dumbfuck?

What a fucking laughable moron. :rofl2:
 
Christianity is taught to children who do not have the capacity to make decisions for themselves. It is absolutely not voluntary. I was forced to go to church and catechism classes when I was a kid. It was not voluntary.
There is no socialism, so hard to be compulsory. Just like no capitalism. All countries are mixes.

As a child did you “choose” to brush your teeth? Take a bath? Eat healthy food?
 
At what point in your life were you were told you were doomed to an eternal hell if you didn’t believe?

A little different set of consequences, isn’t it?

Oh, I was taught that it takes more than just believing to keep one out of Hell. You have to obey and live faithfully. That involves much more than simple belief.

And parents (dads in particular) who fail to teach their kids the truth are failing...themselves and their children. Eph. 6:4

A different set of consequences? Physical health and hygiene and/or spiritual health and life. Many of us deem the latter to be much more important. I’ll teach my kid both though, thank you very much.

What does that have to do with inculcating a defenseless child in a terrifying religion? You are making the assumption that religion is a good. The founders disagreed. That is why they wanted the separation of religion and government. Religion is a source of strife and war. It is divisive. Tht is not how you form a union.

Absolutely!

Baloney. The founders, with few exceptions like Thomas Paine and Ethan Allen, were believers of scripture at the least, some of them very religious at the most. They wanted freedom to worship as they saw fit. What a warped sense of history and the founding of our nation some folks have.

I taught my children about honesty, respect, humor, laughter, respect, family, inclusion, and many other family values without the Bible. They are much more accepting of the frailties and diversity of their fellow humans than the “Christians” I see on this forum.

Who do you obey? And who tells you who to obey and what to obey? Some pulpit preacher? Or was it drilled into you as a child by your parents? It was your parents indoctrinating you, wasn’t it?

It gets back down to your Bible, doesn’t it? Accepting it on face value that it is the word of your god because it says it is the word of your god.
 
Absolutely!

Really? Religion is good?

Whose religion? Just yours?

My parents took me to church...like they were supposed to (Heb. 10:25). They taught me themselves...like they were supposed to (Eph. 6:4). I eventually obeyed the gospel when I was old enough to understand but while still in the household of my parents. I would be lying if I didn’t say they were a tremendous influence. As I went off to college I eventually owned my religion for myself, no longer influenced by my parents but growing in a proper relationship with God. That relationship wasn’t without its tests and trials but it has grown over my 52 years. Yes, I believe the Bible to be the inspired word of God and that is what I strive to obey. I study it daily and try to live it out in my life to the best of my frail human ability. And my wife and I teach it to my son.

read post 161. That is what a FOUNDER said about religion. Religion was seen as divisive by founders. You are, of course, wrong. Your lack of knowledge about the founders is clear. Are you unfamiliar with the separation of church and state? You must be.

As is yours. Many of the Founders believed the country woud not survive without a religious foundation. Washington, Madison, Webster, Adams, and many others.

“…only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious they have more need of masters.” Letter of Benjamin Franklin to Messrs. The Abbes Chalut and Arnaud, dated April 17, 1787. Jared Sparks, ed., The Writings of Benjamin Franklin (Boston: Tappan, Whittemore and Mason, 1840) 10:297.

“…the moral principles contained in the Scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws… All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, precede from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.” Noah Webster, “Advice to the Young,” History of the United States, (New Haven: Durrie & Peck, 1832), 338-340.
 

Each of the 3 cases you site are 'Zoning' issues. Too many cars, too many people, in an area*zoned 'Residential'.
Commercial areas have different zoning characteristics, like adequate space for Parking.
It's NOT about 'Religion', 'Politics', or 'Bingo', it's about 'Residential Zoning'.

Your children are no doubt worthless pieces of shit, like you lol.
 
John Dickenson, founding father
Religion and governments are certainly different things, instituted for different ends, the design of one being to promote temporal happiness, the design of the other, to procure the favor of god and thereby the salvation of our souls. While these are distinct and apart, the peace of society is preserved,and the end of both are satisfied. By mixing them together, feuds, animosities and persecutions have been raised which have deluged the world in blood and disgraced human nature.
Yeah, the founders were actually trying to separate the church and state to save the country, They saw the dangers of religion getting inside the government, It would have the ability to cause strife and conflict, which would be detrimental to the emerging nation. That fear has proven to still exist. Religion causes conflict and should be held at arm's length from the governing process.

When it came time to vote on the signing of the Declaration of Independence, John Dickinson had to abstain...
