This country was not founded on Biblical principles. It was founded on the ideas of Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke, Voltaire, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, etc. Not one of these Enlightenment thinkers was Christian. Rousseau was anti-Christian, Voltaire was atheist, and John Locke thought religion should not be forced on anyone.

Any study of American History will show exactly what I have written in the above paragraph is true.

And you have the balls to tell me that the lack of Biblical principles is why we're in such a mess? If anything it's because we're encouraging Biblical principles that we're in such a mess. Christians feel the need to discriminate against anyone who isn't straight and/or Christian, and the Bible backs that up. Christianity discourages reason, common sense, and logic, and tells you to have faith that a Flying Spaghetti Monster in the sky will help you out with your problems.

In the Middle Ages, most of Europe was ruled on Christianity and forced religion. We didn't get anywhere for 800 years, when we started rejecting traditional religious values and started becoming artists, studying Science, and just becoming more human.

Galileo did scientific research and determined the earth revolves around the sun. The Church tried suppressing his theories because they went against the Bible. They put him under house arrest until his death. We now know that Galileo was right, and the Bible was wrong.

And Science says, "I don't know, but let's find out." Religion says, "I don't know, so God/Jesus/Xenu must have done it."
