| Check out the message that State Representative Kitty Rhoades opponent supports about the founding fathers "Most of us learned in high school, or before, that the study of civics included learning about the founding principles of our country and state. More specifically, civics speaks about our relationships with what used to be called our civil government. Many well- intentioned people, predominantly a group of conservative Christians, still argue and believe that the United States was founded by Christians and based upon Christian principles. It is true that in the writings of our founders, references to God and Christianity can be found. It is also the case generally that the writers of our founding documents believed in God, but not the God of Christianity. It would be much more correct to say that they were deists, believing in a “natural” religion based on human reason instead of divine revelation. The reason some of the conservative Christians want our founders to be Christian is so they can use that perspective to support their political agenda. The essence of that agenda is trying to restore something they think has been lost – a nation based on Christian principles. In reality it has not been lost because it was never there from the beginning." (http://www.liveliberal.com/education.html) |
