A Christian Nation?

Post 039

It has come to my attention that there is a group of Americans who argue that America is not, nor ever was a Christian nation.
This is a very significant point that if true, would affect everything including the solution to fix America.
This argument deserves a serious investigation because of the foundational importance.
This issue is very much like meeting an attractive girl that you hit it off with, then having a stranger declare; "that is not a woman."
The discovery of the truth in this matter is the very foundation of all that will come after!
I am not making any kind of statement about gender preference in dating, but you must agree that the knowledge of the truth is necessary in order to make a wise decision.

If America was not created on the principles of Christianity, Then it was not Christian principles that made America successful. It would be necessary to look elsewhere for the cause of it's greatness.
Do we agree?

But If America was actually created subject to the God of Christianity, then we can be sure that this Christianity was indeed what made it great.
That is simple reasoning.

Ok, the next point that we need to get into the open, is that of course we know that to call America's foundation Christian or not, does not suggest that every single person was Christian or not accordingly.
Either view, declaring their opinion on America's foundational principles, are not suggesting it was 100% in agreement.

OK, Me first:

1) Nearly all the Laws of our constitution, and the form of king-less government, where the common citizen is sovereign, comes right out of the Holy Bible (*1).

2) An educated walk through the Capital of The United States shows unquestionable proof that our founders were Christian and intended that America be subject to the God of Christianity (*2).

3) The writings of our founders were prolific concerning their Christian principles (*3).

4) Many of our government buildings in Washington DC have carved marble walls with Bible verses and the 10 commandments, as well as stone biblical figures like Moses over the Supreme Court building.

5) If you think other religions were influential in the founding of this nation, show me their influence in the constitution.

Ok, your turn now. Show me your evidence that America was not founded on Christianity.

Mr. Barton has done some very deep research and I highly recommend his stuff. you will note I often use DVDs as my resource material, this is not because they are all I have, but because most people will watch a movie sooner than read a book. Wallbuilders.com has a fine selection of books that go even deeper than the DVDs, but the DVDs are excellent and well worth the time.
