Whoever is boasting about this nation being founded on christian principals needs to reread about all the carnage the happended due to those christian values. Remember the Indians? Pull out some of those historic pictures of black men hanging from trees, surrounded by white families all dressed up, with their children smiling for the camera. Christianity for some people means that If you are not christian like them, then your life has little or no value. It's not The religion I knock, its people who use it as a weapon against those who by God's will are different. America had a shameful begining. It was utterly horrific. Progress has only occured due to submition and assimilation to european culture by other races. Besides, Christianity, like Islam was spread mostly with force and bloodshed, and the threat of eternal damnation; fear. It's even considered a sin if a person desires to seek proof of whether the contents of the bible are even true. Aside from the stuff that is actually historical, alot of the other stuff, can strongly be considered legend.As far as my freedoms, they just reapproved the amendment that ensures my right as a black person to vote. It's kind of funny that my right is not garanteed. At anytime that right can be voted down. But thank god good old white christian men will always have their right to vote.
