Oh really? I was not aware that the writers of the constitution were primarily Icelandic, or pagan. In fact, they were Christians.
They were also English, and thus the heirs of Germanic doctrine of personal responsibility and personal law. The roots of demcracy go much further back than the bible.
quote:
Well a whole bunch of Christians started the USA, which is the most free nation on earth.
Now thats just demonstrably false; at the moment, American citizens do not have such protectionsas were enjoyed by the founders, namely habeus corpus, which was guaranteed by Magna Carta.
But even without that recent event, I don;t think the state with the highest proportion of incarcerated citizens of any OECD state con call itself a bastion of freedom. As I said, Christinaity is an enemy of freedom worldwide, as is the USA.

Secondly, Biblical creation had been around for thousands of years before Darwin.
Quite right. And all that time it served Emperors and Kings. So how is this faith "freedom"? It is not: it is a system for creating obedient slaves by promising them fictional rewards after they are dead in exchange for their work and suffering now.
quote:
Evolution tells you that the Bible is a lie... that it is a fairy tale. However, we have seen many creation sciences take hold and stand the test of time. For example, Isaac Newton was a Creationist. So was Louis Pasteur, Carlous Linneaus, and many more. These are men who's christianity and passion for the Bible drove them to their discoveries.
It also demonstrates the robustness of the scientific method; becuase quite rergardless of the personal prejudices of those practitioners, their work told the truth even they would have preferred it did not.

Yes, and fortunately for you, I do not hear a voice in my head.
OK, so you admit that you do not in fact talk to god as you claimed.
quote:
Sometimes I feel God is directing me in a certain way and then he will confirm his word to me through a circumstance or another person. (for example, I will feel that God is telling me something specific, and later someone I know will come to me and tell me they were praying for me and they felt God wanted them to tell me something specific and they are the same thing).
So you are, in fact, just imagining your relationship with god. I'm quite sure that a celeb stalker thinks they know their victim, thinks their is or would be some kind of spiritual link, some sympathy. But its enirely one sided, and entirely imaginary. That seems to descrobe your "relationship" with god pretty accurately - and without even discussing that absence of any serious indication that such a god exists.
