Yup same old same old and it doesnt change the fact of what this nation was.
It's one thing to say the nation was founded on Christian principles (and the First Amendment suggests to me, although I make no claim to be an expert on the US Constitution) that the idea was to leave people free to worship God rather than requiring people to worship God. But to claim that the nation was founded by God is another claim entirely. That's not something I can accept without some evidence, and the claim that God founded the USA as a different kind of nation to any other would certainly require some concrete evidence. Feel free to provide a link if you're truly bored of discussing it.
In the 1800's or early 1900's this would have been unthinkable and it was indeed a christian nation whether people like it or not
When you say "Christian nation" I assume you mean that the majority of people within the nation would self-identify as Christian?
right after 9-11 people were praying and turning back to God but that did not last long so we proceed down the road of judgement.
Sure, in the same way many people will cry out for something in the face of disaster. How many people cry out to a God they never believed in when they need something and then figure that everything returned to normal, in this case apparently as the result of government intervention, and figure they don't need God any more?
It is disheartning to see christians who deny our dependance on God as a nation and oppose moving us back to a nation turning to God
It's terrifying to see Christians expecting their own moral code to be enshrined in law, especially when they don't seem to see the likely future implications of doing such a thing. What is the value of worship unless it is freely given? Worship is meaningless unless it is given despite the clear and freely available choice to not worship. Do you honestly think God would be impressed with a legal system that kept people clean on the outside but resulted in what Jesus referred to as whitewashed tombs?
