Wow, you were doing great right up until your last paragraph. My contentions with regard to the founder's very public professions of faith, were both a practical prerequisite and a matter of the public record of the day; And that I have posted proof on this very forum. In fact, I have heard your argument made in times past to the extent that reposting the information in question, that being the religious affiliation of each of the totality of the founders, is again warranted. http://www.adherents.com/gov/Founding_Fa...igion.html

You can and no doubt will, go on repeating historical heresy, but the fact remains you can in no way support your claim from the record. Feelings don't qualify as sources. Try to concentrate a little here, I made no comparisons between the founders and the average colonist. But since you raise the question I have to call your attention to a simple fact. The founders affixed their names to documents declaring America's independence from England and her immensely powerful and mad monarch, King George. Had the push for independence failed they'd have all hung for treason. Now you can say every colonist had that level of courage and fervent faith in God's protection to that end. But I sincerely doubt it. And for the umpteenth time, we have a perfectly preserved and replete record of the aspirations and motivations of the founders. We call them the founding documents. But there is in addition, no less than a wealth of writings, newspaper articles, diaries, state house records, letters and much more from the day to add to that verifiable trove. Nowhere among those writings is there the first scintilla of evidence to support what you and other libs so desperately want to believe. Three founders were deists, 3, and Franklin had left the Enlightenment fold long before. The founders were Christians.

Alright, so we'll begin again to walk through the four points of analysis. I wil go back and take the top 10 and honorable mention Founders. Using only public pronouncements and writings posits Nixon at the foot of the cross. Come on, now.

If there was to be war, being hung depended on the outcome of the war, which average colonists fought. To the victors went the spoils.
