There is no "Christian Nation" any where in the world! Not Israel, nor Mexico, nor Canada, and certainly not our good ole USA. Our Civil Liberities Union, Congress, and our Supreme Court Justices has seen to that. Where is the checks and balances in government? There is none as each branch of government is imposing there own laws upon the people of our Nation because of self interest. God and Jesus Christ have been removed from our lives as a dog fleas is removed to keep him from scratching. Our nation must return back to the God of our forefathers and the bill of rights and the constitution of which they wrote. We must return back to God as a Nation and we as the people of this nation must desire to retain God in our knowledge or we will become as Sodom and Gomorrah.

Members of EVERY race have done harm to EVERY other race, and probably more so to their own race. There is no SUPER RACE that's ALWAYS the victim. That's why the HUMAN RACE are called SINNERS. When people start to think they are always victims they can often justify horrible acts toward individuals of other races who have done nothing to them. It was that hatred that the pagan, Adolph Hitler used to justify evil acts toward a single race of people within Germany. He wasn't too kind to Christians either, if you recall, and had planned to do worse than, thankfully, he was given time to do. We, as Christians, have to stand up against ev We'd better wake up and quit accepting all the accusations of victimization just because someone's skin color happens to be the same as previous slave owners (owned by just a handful of wealthy landowners who forced poor white teenagers into the Confederate Army at gunpoint). No one need feel so smug and superior that they don't see their own sin

""In truth, the only "Christian nation" is the body of Christ as it is dispersed throughout all peoples and in all times. Confusion on this point has resulted in far-reaching consequences."" ""For there are some who deny that a commonwealth is duly framed that neglects the political system of Moses, and is ruled by the common laws of nations. Let other men consider how perilous and seditious this notion is; it will be enough for me to have proved it false and foolish."" Amazing that John Calvin got it so right, so long ago and that was before the discovery of the New World. Should I say it was almost "Prophetic", God knew what was coming and issue a warning to the Church.

America is a "Christian" nation only in that its governmetnal structure is explicitly founded on the principle of original sin. As another has said, "Power corrupts, and absolute power currupts absolutely." Thus, in the Constitution, we have a government of delegated authority, and we have checks and balances to ensure that no branch of the government is able to attain superlative power for a sustained period of time. Unfortunately, people who belive the Government should act as a messiah, aided and abetted by the Supreme Court, have largely gutted these protections,

Dear Born Again Atheist, Yes, what we've done to Blacks, Native Americans, and other minorities is shameful, but one of the great things about American history is that we have made tremendous progress in race relations. First, we fought a civil war to set slaves free. (Yes, there were other reasons behind the American Civil War, but if we didn't have, slavery, there probably never would have been a Civil War.) And things have improved greatly over the last 40 or so years since Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. Civil Rights legislation in the 1960s prohibited discrimination in a whole range of areas, and while change did not occur overnight, with time, attitudes began to change as more and more people realized that discrimination based on race, religion, or economic background is wrong. So, while America is not a "Christian" nation, throughout our history, Christians have sought to improve our society so that it better reflects Christ's teachings.
