Am I the only one who sees the "quotes" around Christian? I was making a statement about my beliefs and some people chose to attempt to paint me into a corner. I continue to stand by my original statement. This nations laws and original design is based on basic Christian (old and new testiment) biblical beliefs.

OK have fun "tearing me a new one." Don't forget to read me my rights.
TESTAMENT. C'mon, even people who slept through Sunday school know that one.

And do these Old Testament beliefs include selling our daughters into slavery, menstrual huts, AND OH WAIT HERE IS A GOOD ONE FOR YOU FROM JUDGES:

"But the men would not listen to him. So the man took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go. 26 At daybreak the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, fell down at the door and lay there until daylight.

27 When her master got up in the morning and opened the door of the house and stepped out to continue on his way, there lay his concubine, fallen in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold. 28 He said to her, "Get up; let's go." But there was no answer. Then the man put her on his donkey and set out for home.

29 When he reached home, he took a knife and cut up his concubine, limb by limb, into twelve parts and sent them into all the areas of Israel. "

That's from the NIV. Are these some of the Christian beliefs we were founded on?

Bible passages are so fun when taken out of context, just like things said by the founders.
