Also, couldn't help but notice that you quoted Abe Lincoln.
Funny how you're tag is anti-gay, but you'll site a gay reference when it suits you

Re: Well, I cannot defend Rev. Robertson, Faith
We're all saying YES or NO to "We're a Christian Nation". But we haven't defined what that term means.
Tal says he believes we are a Christian Nation. What does that mean to you, Tal.
Are we a nation ruled by Biblical Law (like the Muslim Nations are ruled the Koran?) Are we a nation who has a large number of Christians living here?
Let's figure out what we are arguing about before we start pulling quotes that may or may not be relivent.

Throwing Stones
Some killing is just and not prohibited but even commanded by God, such as the execution of murderers and other violators of His Law. These days people have things so upside down about the commandment not to kill that they indignantly object to executing murderers
Which God? OT or NT? Seems like OT G was big on the killing. Kill everyone for every crime.
Faith, weren't you the one talking about throwing the first stone. Have you actually read that part of the Bible? Seems like you are contradicting yourself

This is not a Death Penalty Thread
There are many reasons he is taking heat and yours is just another to add to the collection. However, it is you who are in violation of the Ten Commandments if you refuse to support the execution of a violator of those commandments according to God's own Law.
We're getting off topic, so I'm going to start a Death Penalty thread for this stuff.

Re: Well, I cannot defend Rev. Robertson, Faith
I define christain nation as: Christianity is where our founding fathers drew their basic moral concepts from and wrote secular laws based on those morals, with freedom of religion for all.
Then what's the problem here people. I think Tal is right on this one. Many of the Founding Fathers were (more or less) Christian. They lived in a society that was more or less Christian (or at least Jewish based). The thinking of their society influenced their thinking when they wrote the Constitution.
I don't have a problem with that.
What I do have a problem with is when Fundies say, "We are a Christian Nation, therefore we should have Christian Prayer in school. We should have Christian Commandments on the walls. We should teach Christian mythology in the classroom."

Re: Well, I cannot defend Rev. Robertson, Faith
It isn't bigotted. It is scientific evidence.
Ah ha! I've found the underlying root problem we've been having. Tal doesn't understand the meaning of the word "evidence". No wonder we've had such a struggle.

Re: Well, I cannot defend Rev. Robertson, Faith
He's claiming his tag isn't bigotted but is a statement of "evidence" created by proponents of ToE.
I don't understand his thinking, but that's what he's saying.
However, this doesn't belong in this string, it belogs in the "Tal signature" thread instead.
