You mean to tell me that the Puritans are the rightful founding
fathers?  I suppose that you would discard the Vikings and the
American Indians and Spanish (they were only RC).  No them folks
could possibly be the chosen; they weren't krisjens.

Of course!  It was a theocracy!  Do you seriously think they might
NOT want the theocracy to survive?  Who in the world would be dumb
enough to make a government and plan to let it die?!

Of course they use the Bible!  What else could you expect them to use?

Say, did you mention "secular"?!  Gee, why don't you give us
a taste of the research that you are talking about?!

Your claims based upon historical events are meaningless as
it would not make any sense for things NOT to happen the way
you so arrogantly pointed out.  Your logic is beyond repair.
