Christian Principles....

[.blank cd]

I don't think it inherently does, maybe you meant to say "inevitably".

iPhone typo. My mistake. Lol.

Saying certain christian principles influenced the founders doesn't mean that ONLY christian principles influenced them or that ALL christian principles influenced them. That is a logical disconnect. I agree that some people would like it to mean that but such people will not be stopped by semantics anyways so why argue about it?

Cause I was bored. Lol

Haha I feel you. I'm just saying arguing about whether or not the US was founded on "christian principles" is just a semantic argument when the real discussion should be about the role of religion in influencing policy. That is a worthwile argument to have. I prefer to bypass the catchphrases and talk about the core issues.

This. What I believe the typical misunderstanding is, is that people misinterpret basic morality as "christian principles". The religion of the founding fathers is(to me) irrelevant, because the only thing we can be certain of is that religious influence isn't allowed in our government. Vote Santorum.
