Is America a Christian Nation...and does it matter?

Participants will also hear from long-shot presidential hopeful Joe Schriner, in a filmed interview, about his inclusion of traditional Christian values as planks in his campaign.

  • — Read the original sources and documents of our framers and founders in their own words and try to say America is not a Christian nation. by Lisa Marie on March 04, 2012

  • — America is a secular nation founded primarily on inspiration from the Judeo-Christian principles and the Bible. On the other hand do you think pure secularists would have had such a high regard for religiious liberty? And, do you think secularists would have written the founding documents of Amerca with no religious inspiration? I doubt it.

    As per the video 78% of Americans identify as Christian, but America is not a Christian nation? No, America is a nation populated by 78% Christians. God forbid there should be any advantage in that...by the way, those fellas from those Islamic Republics, what do you reckon they think America is, a Christian nation or not? by Dale Wohlers on March 04, 2012

  • — The bare truth is this. Any nationa who choses o be anti-Christian will self destruct. This is a fact. The pro-homosexuality, abortion etc. will not bhenefit america but only work against it. THat is the truth. And this individual saying "is bad theology, bad theology", does not seem to get that any nation practcing sin will perish. He has bad theology and nothing but bad theology. by luis gonzalez on March 04, 2012

  • — AMERICA WAS FOUNDED OF GODLYPRINCIPLES RIGHT OUT OF THE KING JAMES VERSION OF THE BIBLE.

    PEOPLE LIKE JIM WALLIS , OBAMA AND HILLARY CLINTON HAVE NO TRUE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, JESUS OR THE HOLY SPIRIT. THESE ARE THE TYPE OF PEOPLE, IF THE DON'T REPENT AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS WILL END UP IN HELL by ROSE on March 04, 2012

  • — America is not a Christian Nation, certainly not after he Constitution became the supreme law of the land. Madison, a deist, is the Father of the Constitution and was a firm believer that the less the church and the state had to do with one another, the less corrupt the church would become.He and the other major Founding Fathers felt all the sects should compete with one another in the open market place and no one sect should have special privilege over another. Read: 1) Madison's Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments and, 2) The Library of America's "Debate on the Constitution" books one and two. It is apparent from the discussion and from the final document that the Framers agreed there would be no religious test for public office even though some were concerned that this could open the door to a Hindu or a Mohammedan becoming president. by William Swanback on March 04, 2012

  • — Our founders used Deuteronomy and Leviticus as the framework for our government and we only have to look at our founder's own words as proof, not a history book. Our constitution was written to protect our religious freedom by preventing the government from establishing and/or dictating over religion. Why do we not look at our founders words in conjunction with Deuteronomy and Leviticus and see how they match up. I have! by Mary Engels on March 06, 2012

  • — There is so much revisionist history here it is hard to pick a place to start! First, claiming that Madison was a deist is a tired old argument made for those whose ulterior motive is to destroy our nation.

    David Bartin points out that James Madison trained for ministry with the Rev. Dr. John Witherspoon, and Madison's writings are replete with declarations of his faith in God and in Christ. In fact, for proof of this, one only need read his letter to Attorney General Bradford wherein Madison laments that public officials are not bold enough about their Christian faith in public and that public officials should be "fervent advocates in the cause of Christ." And while Madison did allude to a "wall of separation," contemporary writers frequently refuse to allow Madison to provide his own definition of that "wall." According to Madison, the purpose of that "wall" was only to prevent Congress from passing a national law to establish a national religion. by CeCe Melton on March 06, 2012

  • — The answer is SO OBVIOUS!....On our dollar bill,we have the nerve to say "In God we Trust"...Putting the name of God on the Very Thing that He warns us about?... The Love of money...To get closer to the truth,all you have to do is add an L. "In GOLD we trust"...Our lawmakers removed Prayer from the schools....We are have legalized Homosexual marriage.....legalized abortion....We strive to make/keep peace all over the world and we can't keep Our Own streets Safe?..just to name a few...Today's question should be "Where can I FIND a Christian Nation?...because it sure isn't Here! by Pastor Al on April 11, 2012

  • — I am a 100% believer in prviate Christian boarding schools if they are administered the way the school I attended was. We had the best of all worlds outstanding academic instruction, emphasis on taking care of our health, and inspiring spiritual instruction.I am aware, however, that not all Christian boarding schools have the same high standards. It is important that you attend a school that is outstanding academically as well as spiritually and that the teachers are dedicated Christian ladies and gentlemen.s by Ana on April 01, 2012
