Society & Culture - 9 July 2006

Why is it that no one (in particular, Christians) on here seems to know that the U.S. government was NOT founded on religious principles. Are they all really THAT stupid? Or did they just never pay attention in school? I offer up three quotes that were answers to another question on here:

"Return to the Christian roots and morals that started this country(U.S.). "

"our country was based on Christians principals. it was great while it lasted."

"Some one has brought us this far...and i dont think it was the athiest thoughts."

GO READ A U.S. HISTORY BOOK!!!

Then spake Solomon, the Lord said that he would dwell in the thick darkness." (I Kings 8:12. Repeated in II Chronicles 6:1) "And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies." (II Samuel 22:12) "He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies." (Psalm 18:11) "The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice . . . clouds and darkness are round about him." (Psalm 97:1-2)

I John 1:5: "God is light, and in him is no darkness at all . . . If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another."

I don't mean this in an offensive way I've heard this term thrown around and I honestly have no idea what it means. Is it a derogitory (sp?) term?

I realize that many people oppose Islam saying that it is a religion of violence and it was spread by sword. On the other hand, I see people defending Islam to death saying that it is the most peaceful religion on Earth and that people critizing Islam are just jealous of its success.

Can anyone tell me whther Islam is a religion of violence or peace? also, for those defending Islam, why they think people try to attack Islam? is it just out of jealousness?

Serious answers only please.

As a Christian, would you favor a government based entirely on the principles of the Bible, or would you prefer a secular government based on reason that was entirely nonreligious (but would do nothing to inhibit religious practices among non-governmental groups)?

For example, a secular government would prohibit displaying the ten commandments on government buildings, forbid prayer in public schools, and show no preference for any religion.

On the other hand, a Biblically based government would base its laws on the text of the Bible, (forbidding abortion, homosexuality, etc.) Such a government would also strongly endorse churches (if church attendance was not made compulsory).

Please limit your answers to one of the two choices.

I am not being descriminatory, but as a biblical scholar I would really desire to hear from Devout Jews on this question. My tone of this question is not mocking but serious. I really want to know how Devout Jews feel about this important question.
