re: Do you believe that the United States was founded as a Christian Nation?

Maybe, maybe not. I obviously cant know how sincerely others truly believe relative to myself but I thought I believed very deeply. I prayed every day, went to church, studied the Bible, felt God's presence, saw prayers answered, etc. One thing I do know is that I knew more then and still know more now than most Christians I talk about this stuff with. It's semi-rare that I meet one who has actually read the good book cover to cover, let alone more than once.

since you evidently never knew the Holy Spirit / God's presence in your life.

Obviously I agree now, given that I don't believe any such thing actually exists. At the time I very much believed I felt his presence though. The experience was all very real to me.

By the way you brainwashed fool, you don't have a clue whst I, nor any other person would do when persecuted, saying you do makes you a fool.

If Peter couldn't withstand the threat of death, I don't give the average cultural Christian in America much of a shot. People start needing a little more than faith when there's a gun to their head.

Most people wjo proclaim to be christians aren't really, which is why Christ said few will find the way.

Agreed, but that's not really relevant to the discussion of a Christian government.

But you pretending to know any mans heart is stupid.

I just know people. True conviction forsaking all else exists, but it's pretty rare. Our biology is usually stronger than our faith.

You spent @) years pretending to be a Christian and you don't know God.

I cant fathom someone consciously doing such a thing, what a wasted existence.

Just based on your posting history, you have a lot of hatred pent up in that little Christian soul of yours. Seems contrary to the belief you claim, but whatever.
