It reflects a frightening ignorance of history. You cannot cite anything from the nation's founders, *or* from the Bible, that supports the idea that this was founded as a "Christian nation," or that there is such an entity. John 18:36: "Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here." JR> Freedom of religion refers to denominations of the Christian JR> faith, not spreading out a rug and praying to Allah or Satan. Jesus weeps at such bigotry. Jesse Jones -- 01/02/95 Miami, Florida USA 72122.1763@COMPUSERVE.COM
