Herb Silverman angående USA som en kristen nation
Herb Silverman (som jag nämnt tidigare i bloggen) svarade på frågan om USA är en kristen nation eller inte i den nya CQ Researcher.
America is a Christian nation in the same way it is a white nation. The majority of Americans are white and Christian, but we are not now nor have we ever officially been a white or Christian nation. Those who believe otherwise might be harkening back to the first Europeans who settled here.
There have always been people who erroneously believe the Founders intended to establish a Christian nation. But the framers were careful and thoughtful writers. Had they wanted a Christian republic, it seems highly unlikely that they would somehow have forgotten to include their Christian intentions in the supreme law of the land. And I defy anyone to find the words “God” or “Jesus” in the Constitution.

Jag gillar Herb. Hans motståndare (Lt. Col. E. Raymoore) var inte direkt övertygande i sina argument.
Christianity teaches, and most Christians support, a jurisdictional separation between church and state, but not separation of God and government. A secular state is not American, not Christian, nor wise. Civil government must obey God’s laws.
Herb baserar sitt på fakta, Raymoore babblar. Inte direkt överraskande. Men den här var däremot överraskande:
