Reply #14: There is no way this could be a Christian Nation.

[Heathen57]

There is no way the United States could have been formed as a Christian nation. The Constitution is almost the total opposite of the Christian religion.

The very concept of a nation led by elected persons, not by divine right, is the first clue. The first words of the Constitution are WE, THE PEOPLE. There is no godly intervention here, it is the rules made by men to govern men. Totally against the bible where only god makes the rules.

The biggest thorn into the balloon of a Christian nation is the first Amendment, mainly the separation of Church and State. This could never exist if the country was a Christian nation. Christianity, like it's brothers Islam and Israel (Jewish), only one god is allowed. All others are evil and its worshipers must be destroyed. Even differing sects of the religions are subject to destruction for not believing the right things. (Reformation and Counter Reformation. anyone?)

Another part of the Constitution that is unbiblical, is the Redress the Government with your grievances. The biblical god made the laws, you obeyed, or you were stoned to death. Here, you can protest the government, something that would never happen in a Christian Nation.

You won't find any of the 10 commandments in the Constitution either. That's because they conflict with the way that the framers of the Constitution envisioned the laws and government of this country. The don't steal, don't murder and so on came from many differing sources, most from the beginning of civilization, thousands of years before the Christian god was even dreamed up. You can't find "honor the Sabbath", anywhere in the founding documents.
