If 100 years from now the entire country believes in Zoroastrianism instead of Christianity that's OK, because our founding fathers framed our constitution in a way to accept eventual change that they could not predict. They were smart enough to know that they had no idea where this country would be 100, 200, 300 years after they wrote the document.

Our founding fathers were all Christians, no doubt, but they did not intend on this being a country ruled on biblical grounds. It's way too easy to twist and mold political reform under the guise of religious justification.

But they did expect America to be a Christian based and oriented country - and a moral one based on traditional moral values found in Scripture. And that is a fact.


Nope. Good try attempting to present opinion as fact.

They fully intended for the constitution to be molded by future constituents. Which religion they chose was of no importance. Hence the amendments. And like I said if this country eventually became majority jewish, muslim, zoroastrian, or any new religion in the future, that's ok and that's what the founding fathers wanted: a constitution that could be molded to needs of the majority.

It just bothers you guys to the core that being a WASP is no longer the majority and never will be. Thus all decisions about this countries future is in the hands of those that do not look like or believe like you do. And that's ok, our constitution was framed to accept and move forward with that kind of change.
