Reply #237: David.... to be honest,

[Doohickie]

I kind of pictured this: People seeing the title, getting a little hot under the collar, reading my essay (the whole thing, hopefully) and coming to the conclusion that Christians weren't so bad after all.

Really, that's the honest truth.

The point, the whole point of the essay was: The Constitution (and other founding documents) were influenced by Judeo-Christian tradition, but that it also includes separation of church and state.... and that just because someone is a Christian does mean he advocates theocracy.



I thought this was a forum where the free exchange of ideas (yes, I expected competing ideas to be posted) was encouraged. And most people who posted here were pretty moderate in their responses, even when they disagreed. I don't mind talking to people like that and learning things. But even with the "inflammatory title", I figured DUers would read and try to understand the whole essay, and argue the points in it without resorting to ad hominem tactics.
