The writers of the Contract did not intend for this to happen. They did not intend for atheists to hijack the interpretation of the Contract by their philosophical friends in the Courts. It was christian light that created the Constituition, we TOLERATE other religions and perspectives and rights, but the apparatus that we created is now suddenly being used to say that the God of the Bible is being "endorsed" which violates the First Amendment.
If a cross/ten commandment display endorses christianity then so fucking what. Our ideals and blood started this country and we will not allow the misuse of logic and law to adjudicate hatred against the God who empowered this nation to exist. This is not a matter of opinion. The framers were christians and their writings prove it. Dishonest atheists come along and insult everyones intelligence by this rhetoric of how christians/Founding Fathers really intended for atheism to be the constitutionally protected religion; the religion of no religion/anything but the God of the Bible.
Wow.
Thank God for the Founding Fathers who wrote our Constitution specifically to protect us from people like you.
Of course, all that you say is wrong.
