Did the Founding Fathers get anything Wrong?

Is there force being used now to uphold our laws?
Yes. But what you are contemplating is introducing laws that are not wanted by a majority of the people. How are you going to do it?

No problem. I was trying to discern your point from the fragments and half thoughts you drop. I can only do so much tho.
It may be that our good chum would just like to come out and tell us that he’s a proud Christian Nationalist, without actually saying it?

It's good to have it out in the open so we all know what we're up against. Not that I consider it to be a real problem. Shouting at clouds mostly.

The truckstop person seems to have carved out a type of “Nationalism” that is totally divorced from the usual understanding of “Nationalism” (as a political-movement).

What they say that they want and what they will likely end up with under Christian Nationalism will be so far apart as to make them repudiate their own writings, after a season.

I’m not. But as Christ’s kingdom grows, there will be a majority of people who want the laws.

You will have to be very careful about who you convert. Even now, some Christians want laws that other Christians think are ugly and unChristian.

They may not all vote the right way. But eventually there will be enough.
Vote for who? There will never be anyone who stands on a policy that states 'All laws will now be biblical'. It's only a very small percentage of people who want anything like that. And I'll bet you'd disagree with a lot of them. Thinking you can vote for someone who will give you what you want is...bizarre.

Is that 'OK, I agree'? Maybe you could possibly expand on that? Make an argument? Put forward what you consider to be a reasonable basis for thinking that what you want might come to pass?

That’s “okay, I acknowledge that you made a statement.”

That was my bet as well. But seeing as this is a forum, where we exchange ideas and discuss things, I thought you might like to comment on my post. Discuss why the founding fathers were wrong in not ensuring all laws were biblical. Maybe give us a heads up on how you think you might attain this.

I didn’t argue that founding fathers were wrong in not ensuring all laws were biblical.

No, but you want all laws to be biblical, so you obviously thought they should have done that. Which is beside the point anyway. They didn't. It's something that you want. I'm just curious how you think you have any chance at all of getting it.

I’ve already stated this, but I’ll state it again. I don’t expect to see it in my lifetime. It’s a long game. As Christ continues to grow His kingdom, there will be a majority of believers, and it will happen.
