How Christian Were the Founders?
- asnyder 17y agoThis is so scary, and in my opinion the real problem with America's future. History tends to repeat itself. What's next the burning of our libraries, the destruction of our Science Journals? My Father summed it best in a recent conversation when he said "Your Science." IMHO, this is the sort of mind-frame that will ultimately lead to this country's downfall.
- DanielBMarkham 17y agoThis is another one of those articles that's hard to comment reasonably about both sides without getting into a flame war. I hate to do it, because it's an important subject, but I can see no way to have a reasonable conversation about this -- flagged.
- sailormoon 17y agoIt needs to be talked about one day, and if HN, one of the smartest communities around, can't do it - who can?
- wyclif 17y agoAs a Christian, my answer is: not very. There were a few orthodox Christian signatories of the Constitution--notably John Witherspoon-- but the majority of them were Deists. This is not difficult information to discover. If you read the writings of these men, you'll note copious references to "Nature and Nature's God" and theories of a clockwork Universe.
