Actually it would be if that's your pursuit of happiness. When did the US become a nation of "do it for me?" Make your choices and if they're bad then live with the consequences. I don't expect you to understand that at your age but life will teach.

Geez... I have to stop talking to you and your little buddy. When I say "get tested" I'm not talking about taking classes. :banghead: I'm talking about STD tests. DUH...

I primarily only skimmed this thread, but this was the first post by bravevol today that had some sort of punctuation in the middle of it preceeding the final period, I think.

Actually yeah, I do. I'm really glad you brought that up.

It wasn't founded on Christianity and our founding fathers weren't aiming for a Christian Nation, if that's what you're getting at. Sure, many back then practiced Christianity, but our founding fathers believed in deism and freemasonry tenets along with Christianity. I'm not saying they didn't believe in it or respect it, but it wasn't their goal for America to be a Christian nation.

Just because they mentioned "God" in the Declaration of Independence doesn't mean they were referring to the personal God of Christianity. Thomas Jefferson wrote most of the Declaration and Jefferson held deist beliefs.

Our founding fathers set up a Government separated from any religion. You should research Jefferson's "Wall of church and state" a little.

I'll refer you to the Treaty of Tripoli Article 11:

"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

And unlike the Declaration of Independence, this treaty represented U.S. law as most treaties do.

The Treaty of Tripoly only lasted a few years, but it clearly represented the feelings of our Founding Fathers at the beginning of American Government.

And I'll just add that when our founding fathers mentioned "God", being deists, they were talking about Nature's God or The God of Nature, not the God of the bible. Deists believed that there was in fact a creator of the Earth, but that he didn't concern himself with the daily lives of humans and didn't communicate with humans either through revelations or sacred books. They also believed in Jesus and praised him for his teachings, but denied his divinity.

They were men of the "Enlightenment", not men of "Christianity".

Nevada has legalized prostitution. As long as the prostitute is registered and works out of a registered brostel (which requires regular testing) then the act is legal.

Read this Smoke Em:
The Quebec Act of 1774 electrified Puritan New England against the crown, because the act granted French Canadian Catholics freedom to practice their religion. The Continental Congress demanded that the act be repealed, as it was a religious threat to the colonies. Firebrand Samual Adams proclaimed that King George III would soon fall prey to that dread temptation of all English sovereigns and take up the popish religion as his own.

American Daniel Barber recorded in his History of My Own Time, published in 1827, that colonial anti-Catholocism was "so strong throughout the early part of the Revolution that the President of Princeton University believed that the common hatred of Popery, caused by the Quebec Act, the only thing that cemented the divergent religious groups in the colonies together sufficiently enough to allow them to make war, and opinion that was shared by British observers."

H.W. Crocker III, Triumph

So, the following quote, out of your link is some kind of twist on history, is it not...
“oth in Virginia and in New England to the north, the colonists were determined, God-fearing men, often in search of a religious toleration denied them at home, who brought their families and were anxious to farm and establish permanent settlements. They put political and religious freedom before riches

I'm still trying to figure out why "the real ut" wants me banned so badly. I happen to be a born again believer in Christ and yes that means living my life for him. OWB, you must not be to familiar on what this Country was founded upon. You seem to be a clone of Ted Kennedy or even worse. You want to legalize prostitution, marijuana, and gay marriage. You shoud move to Amsterdam.
