Um...where's the problem?
The email even continued to contend that our founding fathers fought and died for our rights to have a Christian nation? Did I fall asleep during the part in my American History class where they explained how King George (ironic name really) and the British were Zoroastrian?
READ A GODDAMN HISTORY BOOK! Our Revolutionary War was not about religion, it was about (amongst many other things) taxation (specifically tax cuts were given to certain British companies, which would harm American manufacturers, hence the Boston Tea Party). ::cough::HALLIBURTON::cough:: Furthermore, a good chunk of our founding fathers weren't even Christian, they were Deist (look it up!).
People like Thomas Jefferson were great believers in separation of Church and State, even before it was a popular idea.
And to all those who say "our laws are based off of Christian laws" are FREAKING RETARDED! Name me one federal law that exclusively Christian. Only two of the Ten Commandments have made it into federal law (Thou Shalt Not Steal and Thou Shalt Not Kill).
Oh, and our laws are based not off of the Bible but off of the FUCKIN' MAGNA CARTA! The original Magna Carta (signing in 1215) made a separation of Church and State VERY CLEAR (the first clause says that the Church of England would be free from interference from the Crown). Yes, that clause was promptly removed by the Pope...but it was a hotly debated issue, and by no means was the Magna Carta a document establishing a Christian Nation, even the clause banning the lending of money to Jews was put in to prevent usury.
Furthermore, even if everyone in the U.S. was Christian that still does not give our legislators the right to make law based on Christian ideals. If 100% of people identify as Christians, but only 43% of them agree with the biblical law that 10% of all earnings need to be tithed, then only 57% of elected representatives should oppose a law stating that. Meaning, in essence, that whether or not we're a Christian nation doesn't matter from a legislative perspective, because we don't create laws based off of the Bible, we create laws based off of the will of the people a representative represents.
In short, every one who ever insisted that we are a "Christian Nation" and that being a Christian Nation means that everything Pat Robertson ever said needs to be law (despite the fact that the majority of Americans do not agree with him), needs to take a GODDAMN HISTORY LESSON!
