• Christian Nation

    Hello Everybody,

    In God We Trust

    National Motto of the United States of America.

    But whose god might that be?

    Almost 90% of all the members of Congress are Christian.
    Does that make the USA a Christian Nation?

    According to various sources, including Wikipedia, there
    are only 15 nations in the world that have declared Christianity
    as their state religion. The USA not being one of them.

    Did somebody at Wikipedia make a mistake?

    There are 19 members of Congress who claim no religious affiliation
    whatsoever. Imagine that. Atheists and/or agnostics in Congress. Along
    with Buddhists and Hindus and even a small handful of Mormons. And one
    claiming to be other or none of the above. God help us if he/she is a
    Wiccan. We'd have to burn him/her at the stake.

    Considering that the US Christians obviously ripped out the entire second half of their Holy Book, that about Christ -- that effin socialist who advocated all sorts of anti-capitalism -- you can barely find a single true Christian in the USA.

    That second half is the difference between the Christians and the Jews, but *is* shared by the Muslims. How's that for hypocrisy? Israel vs. the Arab nations?

    One of the founding fathers was dyslexic, it was supposed to read "In Dog We Trust".

    What does an atheist swear the oath of office on?

    John Quincy Adams was sworn in with book of constitutional law instead of a bible.

    Are you sure? When Mormons die, they become gods themselves and
    own an entire planet for themselves. That's a lot of planets, one
    for each Mormon god ...

    Ben Franklin wanted the turkey rather than the eagle as symbol of the
    USA. And for German to be the national language. Fortunately for us all, somebody told him to go fly a kite.

    Every chaplain of the US House of Representatives and of the US
    Senate has been a Christian. All men, except the current chaplain
    of the US House of Representatives (a woman appointed by Speaker
    Nancy Pelosi).
