Re: One Nation Under God
I have mixed feelings about the concept of the United States being a Christian nation.
A lot of the founders and early settlers were a mixture of believers and others who acknowledged the importance of Judeo-Christian ethics and morality and some who just gave lip service to that concept.
Can we say we are a Christian nation when we are built upon genocide and ethnic cleansing?
I'm probably the only person here who wanted to jump up and "boo" at the end of the movies where you heard the bugle sounding a charge and the cavalry came over the hill.
I'm probably the only one here that is glad that General Custer received a gift of an arrow shirt (old Indian joke from an old Indian) in June 1876 near the Little Bighorn River.
