What has happened to this country. It seems that if you are not proclaiming at the top of your lungs that you are a CHRISTIAN!!!!! you are looked down upon, scorned, ridiculed and said to be UN American. Since when was determined that to be an American you had to be a Christian? Some on the FAR right want this to be a CHRISTIAN nation. I believe this is wrong. Many of our ancestors left their homelands because of that very reason. I believe our founding fathers wanted to make sure of religious we had freedom of religion.
If anything we should be Jews, after all CHRIST was a Jew.
The Christian right is constantly proclaiming how we should fear or hate the Islamic fundamentalists. Maybe we should, but we should also be concerned about the Christian fundamentalists right here in this country.
Christians have shed just as much blood as Islamists. Can't we all be religious in our own way. I personally am leaning toward Buddhism. It seems to be the most non-confrontational of all the religions.
You may disagree with me and that is OK. I just think we need to take a step back and reconcider this proclamation that this America is a Christian society.
I would like to hear what you have to say on the subject.
