Also - I infer from your loving, christian post that you obviously have something against Native American people huh?

All of our forefathers would be horrified by what America has become, I think. They would probably pack up, catch the next flight to some third world country, kill most of the indigenous people, and start all over.

I have nothing against morals, on the contrary actually, but the fact is that they do not belong in offices like the President.

Would that mean you prefer an immoral President? I can't believe that this is what you would actually want. The President should be a beacon of morality, truth, and selflessness. What would that look like. Why George Washington of course. If only we could find a man of such morals and integrity today. We should be so lucky.

What are the moral objectives of our creed if not freedom from oppression, truth, justice and political emancipation?

Sure there were atheists on the boats, and many others with all sorts of beliefs, but as a theory Christians were not involved heavily in the founding of the country holds as much water as a colander.

I think its sad for someone to believe that the founding fathers were anti Christian. .

No, the Founding Fathers weren't Christians. Part of the reason they started that little war was that they were tired of being force-fed a state religion. They wanted to be able to choose who and how they worshipped and they felt that other people should have the same choice.

These men are dust now. Leave them be. They had a great idea. They worked hard to implement it and as we speak it is dying. Can't we let it pass with a shred of dignity? Do we have to beat it to death?

anyway, i'd have to say something...ol' george wasn't really a founding father
he was instrumental in the founding of this nation, but he didn't play anywhere near the same role as jefferson or franklin did, two people who seem to not get anywhere near as much recognition as he does...
