I miss George. Would be nice to have him commenting on our crappy predicament. He would be ripping them a new one and there would nothing they could do to shut him up. I smile imagining his verbal characterization of Trump and his minions. It would be brutal.
Those were good times...

A lot of Christian’s really believe the US was founded as a Christian nation and the founding fathers didn’t really want separation of church and state.
I can save you the time. If you did go back to study, you would find that, no, the US was not founded as a Christian nation but as a nation of religious freedom that is completely separate from the state/politics.
These people would all be shocked if they knew just how many of the Founding Fathers and Framers of the Constitution were not conventional, church-going, or mainstream Christians. Televangelists and right-wing colleges like Liberty U. and right-wing think tanks like the Heritage Foundation have made a major effort over the years to make it seem as if separation of church and state is some kind of historical myth, when it simply is not.
Yea, I was told and believed that when I was in the church. Reading helped me to understand it was a lie.
It's too early for research but, iirc, Rodney Stark who has studied to growth of Christianity from its beginning estimate about a quarter of Americans were church members at the time the Constitution was ratified. It was under 10% in NC and Georgia.
I've read that in a number of places that the percentage of Americans who regularly went to church and were active Christians was much smaller in the colonial period than it was later in the 19th and most of the 20th Centuries. And that was especially true, ironically, in the Southern colonies.
That's because virtually every idea behind the Constitution occurred during The Great American Enlightenment from about 1770-1820 or so, which was bookended by the first two waves of the Great Awakening , a return to the worst excesses of Christianity. Just like when you have more Republicans, the country has less money, when you have more Christians, the country has less progress. They're all a pack of retromingent revanchists who won't let decent people alone.
The ironic thing is the only people who give a damn about freeing this dude are people who voted for Harris.ICE Barbie Deports Trump-Fanatic Cuban Immigrant to Africa
