"God" is not a reasonable response to any question requiring evidence

It is never one of those occasions when you inject "god" here and there because you'd like to think your theology is true.
:thumbsup:Comedy like this is one of the things I come here for.

It's an acquired taste.

Just up and babble about "injecting god" for no reason

... and put my post in front of it, as if it's some sort of reply. ^_^

So you're ok with genocide, as long as we don't totally annihilate ethnic groups?
^_^ That one's good too. Being "elite" just entitles him to up and put any words he chooses into another's mouth. That's "clever" :D

Not in this Israel-supporting Christian country, chief.

The Bill of Rights ensures no pogrom will occur legally on U.S. soil.

¡ JERUSALEM !


That piece of paper is aready under attack for revisement on a number of issues.

The jews believe that the messiah will appear when allews return to Israel.
So driving the American jews out of the country may be coming.

I don't doubt that one bit.

What's an 'allew', and why didn't you capitalize 'jews' and 'messiah'?
So driving the American jews out of the country may be coming.
If that happens, it will be a sad day for America.

God built this nation for two reasons:

  1. To provide a haven for the Jews until after WW2.
  2. To assist Israel after WW2.

From unchristian Separate but equal, to All men created equal.

America was founded on Christian ideals so, where did the seperate but equal come from?

And equal? Really?


Ask people like Rosa parks how equal they felt.

Now compare the states with the highest number of christians with the ones that had discriminatory policies. Makes interesting reading.

Yeah, should have kept Christian qualities as George Washington intended.

Brothers: I am glad you have brought three of the Children of your principal Chiefs to be educated with us.
I am sure Congress will open the Arms of love to them, and will look upon them as their own Children, and
will have them educated accordingly. This is a great mark of your confidence and of your desire to preserve
the friendship between the Two Nations to the end of time, and to become One people with your Brethren of
the United States. My ears hear with pleasure the other matters you mention. Congress will be glad to hear
them too. You do well to wish to learn our arts and ways of life, and above all, the religion of Jesus Christ.
These will make you a greater and happier people than you are. Congress will do every thing they can to assist
you in this wise intention; and to tie the knot of friendship and union so fast, that nothing shall ever be
able to loose it.

George Washington's intention was to pacify the Delaware Indians and to encourage them to maintain peace based on the Christianity introduced to them by the Morovian missionaries.

When presented with a petition from pro-Christian delegation after the matter of the murder of White Eyes, an influential Delaware chief, without instruction from Congress on how he should handle the matter, he did direct them to continue in their current learning as a means to keep peace and order with the Delaware Nation. In the context of this quote you gave, he isn't intending to express any commentary regarding the instruction of Christianity to the American nation he presided over. It was purely a diplomatic move born out of mistrust for the Delaware Indians.


Of this incident, he later wrote: "[they]
presented me with a long memorial on various points, which they intend to present also to Congress. I was a little at a loss what answer to give and could have wished they had made their first application there. But as an answer could not be avoided, I thought it safest to couch it in general but friendly terms and refer them to Congress for a more particular one. Though there is reason to believe, they have not adhered very scrupulously to their pretended friendship, it appeared to me to be our present policy at least to conciliate; and in this spirit my answer was conceived. I hope I may not have deviated from the views of Congress. I send a copy of my answer."

At the very least, we gather that George Washington was aware that Christianity is a peaceful way of bringing people's together and maintaining peace, regardless of assumed accusations that George Washington may have had ulterior motives for the discussion.

Futhermore, he then goes on to say:


Brothers: There are some matters about which [I do not open my Lips, because they belong to Congress, and not to us warriors; you are going to them, they will tell you all you wish to know.

Brothers: When you have seen all you want to see, I will then wish you a good Journey to Philadelphia. I hope you may find there every thing your hearts can wish, that when you return home you may be able to tell your Nation good things of us. And I pray God he may make your Nation wise and Strong, that they may always see their own] true interest and have courage to walk in the right path; and that they never may be deceived by lies to do any thing against the people of these States, who are their Brothers and ought always to be one people with them.

Reading is one thing understanding is another as can be seem every Sunday in churches throughout the country...
Nothing like a typo, followed by a lack of proofreading to create irony, is there?

they all take home a different message from the very same words.
So? Not a one of 'em would take home your message from Washington's words.
