Sorry to disagree, but you misread my post. I expected it, since there is soooo much bitterness against the Christian religion. And I don't blame you because they have been so utterly awful. Please reread my post with this in mind.
I specifically said "Not religion, but a relationship with Christ." "Christians" with a holier-than-thou attitude do not have a relationship with Christ. They have a relationship with judgment. True Christians treat everybody with love and respect. Jesus wouldn't bomb an abortion clinic. He wouldn't murder gay people. He would befriend them. Look at the people he associated with: prostitutes and lepers. He is our example. If everybody in America tried to be like Jesus, then all of society's problems would go away. A relationship with Him helps us to become more like Him. That was my point.
Some might not have been, but most of the founding fathers
were Christian. If they were deist, then what deity did they worship?
