Here is a challenge for you:
1)How many times is Jesus or Christianity mentioned in the Declaration of Independence?
2)How many times in the Constitution?

I'll save you the effort: ZERO

A common myth is that this nation was founded on a religion, it was not. NOWHERE does it say that America is a Christian nation.
God or Creator could be anything. From the Trinity to a yellow gecko to the Big Bang. Jesus Christ doesn't have the copyright on that sorry.

I'm sorry, but you are ignorant. Ever heard of Vietnam?? I'm sure that will be a newsflash to the veterans that fought over there. Besides, the "god on our side" assumption is so weak. Everyone thinks that god is "on my side, but not my enemy's". He can't be on everyone's side now can he? And isn't just a little presumptious to think that he even takes a side?

And since we have freedom of religion and all these freedoms that our military fought for! People of other beliefs come here and think we should change the whole constitution because of their freedoms. Believe me if they do we are in for a heap of trouble.
I don't see Muslims, Hindus, Witches and the like trying to force their religion on me. I see CHRISTIANS!!!! Why is it that Christians try to shove their religion down people's throats and then cry "persecution" when people rightfully reject it?!? The ONLY religion trying to add the Anti-Gay marriage plank in Congress is CHRISTIAN. You contradict yourself as well. The military fights for our freedoms yet we don't want any more freedoms if they are foreign. In other words, "i want everyone to be just like me screw those who aren't christians." Somehow, i don't see how adding freedoms can be a negative, but then again, i'm not a fundie fanatic.
