Bill, I agree. Kind of.
I don’t much get into the “Christian America” thing. Because it, to me; is a Christian version of shariah law.
I also agree that the “Christian Right’s” revision of history to suit a narrative is off-putting.
America is a Constitutional Republic. It’s founders acknowledged God. They were not Bible-thumpers, like we have today. In fact, most Christians during that period, avoided politics, like the plague. Which they should do now.
As for whom you are debating with; he’s nothing more than pompous jerk. It seems that He and Ace over at the Spades HQ seem to have this real Anti-Christian, Anti-Heartland Conservative bias about them. Never did like it; so, I tend to avoid them.
Just my opinion.
