I argued with this person all morning that discrimination in this country against Christians and the American flag were completely unfounded and merely by their taking a few isolated incidents, none of them proved it was running rampant as they want to suggest.

Re: "In the US the only religion that is discriminated against is Christianity and the only flag that is not respected is the American flag."

I told this person "Jefferson, who drafted the Declaration of Independence was a Deist and removed all mentions of the divinity of Jesus Christ and affirmed that the First Amendment create a separation of church and state" AND "James Madison who was the principal author of the Constitution (he was also a Deist). Now, look up the establishment clause."

And this is the reply I get:

You mentioned Thomas Jefferson and Madison as being deist, perhaps you should read the following. They did not find American alone. As far as your picture on Bush and the Saudi Prince, it's only a picture. I need details to see what's going on. People can do amazing things with pictures. Is it real or not?

'Jefferson was not the only President to attend church at the Capitol. His successor, James Madison, also attended church at the Capitol.' - Abijah Bigelow to Hannah Bigleow, December 28, 1812. 'Letters of Abijah Bigleow, Member of Congress, to his Wife,' Proceedings, 1810-1815, American Antiquarian Society (1930), p. 168.

'The doctrines of Jesus are simple, and tend all to the happiness of mankind.' - Thomas Jefferson

Walbuilders?

Is this part of the Conservapedia Group or something different?

And to top it off, this persons screen name is oldUS.

The problem I have is that I am just not a wordsmith capable of succinctly putting this person in their place in a short and orderly fashion. "short and orderly fashion" being the keywords.

Anyone volunteer to help me out here?
