Christianity-undertones in society.

Well, let us look over what I have laid before me. >>Before I begin I want you to know I am a devout Catholic, I am very religious so I will take this debate very seriously. I hope that you will take nothing I say personally and know that I pray earnestly for people who live under your beliefs daily. << Not at all JlConservative. I will take nothing here more than I have too. I want to take that worry off your chest. Please, too many people on the web today are very... loud. Now, as it is your duty to find the points where I am, it is my duty to counter it. >> The only reason that you and me have a country where we can speak our minds, worship the God we believe in, and have a government that is by the people and for the people, is because our fore fathers had the passion,the love, the understanding, the FAITH to achieve greatness...and yet you call it an error... The only reason why we have a free country is because we built our fancy buildings over corpses of the Native Americans, many of which we converted over to "The Right" Religion. Passion, love and understanding. Our founding fathers made sure to poison the ways of Native Americans the best way he could. http://www.nebraskastudies.org... They would take land from the noble people in exchange for what? Teachers who instructed them on the ways of white people, which includes their religion. Quote from Nebraskastudies: "The missionary societies supported the plan as they agreed with the government officials that this was the only way the Indians had a chance for survival was to adopt the white ways and eventually become assimilated into the white society." >>In fact according to a poll done by CBS in 07 were millions participated in "Americans do not believe that humans evolved, and the vast majority says that even if they evolved, God guided the process. Just 13 percent say that God was notinvolved. "http://www.cbsnews.com...... Millions. Millions? Try 885 people. On the same page http://www.cbsnews.com... Quoted from the very same page: "This poll was conducted among a nationwide random sample of 885 adults interviewed by telephone November 18-21, 2004. There were 795 registered voters. The error due to sampling could be plus or minus three percentage points for results based on all adults and all registered voters." Obviously, my opponent has changed the facts to his own advantage. People refrain from doing that in the future, or I might think your don't care about this debate enough to come to me honest. Ok? >>No president of the United States of America, have justified his doings by a religious answer this is something that is not aloud and justifiably so. Show me one president who justified right or wrong doings because of God. http://baltimorechronicle.com... Quote: "God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam." So it was not in response to 9/11? Well then, I guess he will do whatever the voice in his head he refers to as "God" tells him to do. What's odd though is that "God" has not told him to strike North Korea, which is a godless nation and has spend it's government money on WMD's and not taking care if it's hungry hurting people. >>Well apparently due to every single statistic, poll, and graph a SMALL fraction of Americans usually around 11-14% do not believe a Gd exists. The fact you make "in my opinion" is exactly the issue. It is your opinion and yours alone. From the last "accurate" poll you gave me, I think this statement could very well be your own opinion as well, unless you can give me some actually real evidence that so little people in America believe that. >>You fight to abolish religion, God, Faith, which are good and pure things, almost all of the laws of society are taken from the 10 commandments. You fight to abolish something that this country was and is based on... that "All men are created equal" http://www.archives.gov... When this famous paper was written, religion was strongly needed. That I have no argument about. The people of America were dealing with several dangerous throughout their life. Disease, famine, harsh bitter winters, and the intimidating power of Britain looming over their heads. They needed to believe that God was on their side, guiding them to build an independent nation, free from taxation without representation. However, that was then, my friend. Religion was needed, but only as a crutch to help the nation get to its feet. Now it is a strong nation, one of the strongest in the world, to boot. With that, religion is no longer needed. We need to keep the ideals we were founded on, not the religion. Thank you.
