Sorry, but it doesn't work that way. Those who claim the existence of invisible beings are the ones required to provide the evidence, one is not required to prove non-existence. If the onus fell on all non-believers, you would find yourself beholden to disprove the existence of the Flying Spahetti Monster, Zeus and Thor.

As well, it is not some binary deal, the truth being limited to either your God exists or none at all. If we are going to be intellectually reasonable, we would have to say that in the world of possibilities there could be no gods, one god or multiple gods all the way up to an infinite number of gods.

I agree, we should protect the Constitution. However, that document works both ways which I think you likely know. For example, if the doctrine of a particular church stated that black people were not to be part of the clergy, the government would have no ability to change that, that would be pretty sick but the Constitution protects that as it should. However, if that very same church chose to operate and manage a hospital they would no longer have the ability to refuse to hire someone simply because they were a minority.

A church can claim a substantive and therefore protected need to adhere to its doctrine only so far.

Stand for Children is not a 'democrat-leaning' group. They are a stealth group with the intent of privatizing public education, not some vague affiliate of the NEA or the Democratic Party.

Since I have never had one from some Christian dominionist, please go for it. Please illuminate me as which exact so-called Christian principles are foundational to our Constitution.

Now that is funny. Tossing out the 'first book printed by Congress was the' Wholly Babble thing. Not true. The notorious liar David Barton has been tossing this one around with his other garbage.

The deal on that is that some printer named Aitken printed up a bunch on his own dime. The only thing he got was Congress to certify that the Bible was an accurate copy. This link will take you to the original Congressional resolution.

The deal is, the 'Christian Nation' folks are so blinded by their zeal they will believe anything, even the lies and fiction of David Barton.

You should learn to slap harder or more effectively. It would also help if you read a bit of American history.

Yeah, I didn't think you knew of any embedded principles. The reason is that there are none. This whole "founded upon Christian principles" is just something religious folks say and doesn't actually mean a thing.

re: "America was started with Christian ideas"

Could you provide some examples of exactly what that means? I hear that quite frequently but only ever as a grand sweeping statement. I just don't see any supposed Christian values or principles embedded in our Constitution. Perhaps you can illuminate me.

"He is liberal, of course he is okay with it"

Yeah, that darn Biden, as a liberal he believes in freedom. Nothing more un-American than allowing the citizens to do as they will.

What exactly is it your party is selling?

Yeah, being in favor of keeping the US Government out of the personal lives of the citizenry is just a horrible thing and makes him an idiot. I am glad to know that conservatives favor incessant government intrusion into even the most personal aspects of our lives.
