Oddbean new post about login | logout Christians built America and allowed freedom from religious persecution for a reason.
“ Many of the founding fathers—Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison and Monroe—practiced a faith called Deism. Deism is a philosophical belief in human reason as a reliable means of solving social and political problems. Deists believe in a supreme being who created the universe to operate solely by natural laws—and after creation, is absent from the world. This belief in reason over dogma helped guide the founders toward a system of government that respected faiths like Christianity, while purposely isolating both from encroaching on one another so as not to dilute the overall purpose and objectives of either.”
“A treaty of peace and friendship between the United States and Tripoli that was approved by George Washington explicitly stated: “The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion…” This treaty was negotiated by the American diplomat Joel Barlow during the administration of George Washington. Washington read it and approved it, although it was not ratified by the senate until John Adams had become president.”
Sure. But Christianity doesn't need to be a pillar of what it means to be American. Or Christianity doesn't need to be a pillar of America.
Yeah it does.
Just cause you say it doesn't make it true. We can have a difference of opinion. But you talk so matter-of-fact when you really shouldn't. You are not the arbiter of what America is. Neither am I.
then who is you fucking nitwit?
I see you read the whole message. Thanks for reading.
Calvin Coolidge would disagree. https://teachingamericanhistory.org/document/speech-on-the-occasion-of-the-one-hundred-and-fiftieth-anniversary-of-the-declaration-of-independence/
Yeah sure the guy who led everyone right into the great depression. Excuse me if I disregard his thoughts.
lmao... yer fucked bro. https://www.bitchute.com/video/KZ15jkgIru8x/
I'm fucked? Okay bro. Whatever will I do, I'm so fucked. Gtfo
yes. wrong and fucked.
Okay once again you are free to believe whatever you want, I'm also free to tell you I think you are wrong and a moron.
yeah but see it doesnt matter what you say because you are an uninformed idiot ... here , i recommend this - take your last incoherent and entirely idiotic statement which was something like, "i dont get to decide what america is either", and just shut your fucking mouth then...
Okay I see you haven't had adult conversations before. Good luck with this approach.
whats it like having the temperment of a 13-year old american teenager - female?
I'm saying your defense is full of ad hominem attacks. No substance. Just insults. So yeah I'm saying you don't know how to have an actual conversation without resorting to insults. It was pretty clear if you just look at the conversation. Especially considering no one was even talking to you.
having clearly snuffed reason out of what you clearly fancy as some type of "actualization", you have earned every ounce of ridicule. #hubrishuffer
What are you even trying to say here
forget it boo... back to marvel or whatever it is you normally do.
