A question concerning the U.S. Government & The Bible

[colton]

I agree politics and religion should be completely seperate sometimes i feel like ill be living in a muslim state soon

In America, there's, basically, no connection between the Church and the government.
That's the way I feel. If we had a Christian government, then our Constitution would be as open to interpretation as The Bible is. And when we go to court for speeding tickets, we could use "God pushed me" as a viable defense.

How can you say there's no connection between the church and the government when directly on your money...it says "In God we Trust".. not only is it a connection of religion to government.. but to materialism aswell!
And how is the constitution NOT open for interpretation? It's even open for change...
Notice how a foreigner is Governer of California? Is he not pushing for a change in the constitution so that he, one day may run for president?

Ok...heh, just to CLARIFY. Anyone who says that our current Bible is not the accurate translation, and thinks it is a bunch of stories has NEVER taken the time to actualy research the subject, and should keep their mouths shut

And looking for reasons and opinions to justify your personal opinion that the Bible isn't true does NOT constitute research into the subject...so don't even try to tell me that you have studied it...because if you DID research it, and came up with that conclusion, you are either hopelessly foolish and closed-minded or were not able to find accurate resources.

Open your mind, smoke some herb if you need to, and THEN research/study something.....THEN develop your opinion....not the other way around...

Good Post, Gaji

I've read the thing from Cover to Cover. Genesis to Revelations. Spent the first 15 years of my life with my head buried in the fucker.

I don't need to research the subject.. i need to find the actual truth to all this BS.

[anycraic]

well gaji i have researched the bible extensively, as well as the old testament and the qoran, guess which one contradicts itself the most and has obviously been heavily altered during the 6 centuries it took to emerge in its final form?
but thats not my point, and ive forgotten what is, ah well

Yeah, but look at the whole process as to open to interpretation. We have to pass an Amendment. It says that, but if our government really believed in God, it would treat every living thing as it's equal and it, definitely, doesn't do that. I'm not materialistic, so I've no opinion on those matters.

I think Arnold is a great step towards progression of the U.S.A. Next, we need a Trinidad-ian governor.
