bigdaddy,
because it has a lot to do with our present day situation, and why we are falling short succumbing to so many evils?
People need to get back to the core principles of Christianity.
God's patience is wearing thin I'm afraid.

And furthermore, because we are welcoming Muslims with the assumption that everything will be fine, totally blinding ourselves to the true reality of it all.

Please refrain from saying that there is a "Seperation of Church and State," that is a big lie.

matter o' fact, the big lie "seperation of Church and State" is the very thing that has caused so much corruption to enter our Courtrooms, our schools, and all things pertaining to government bodies.

The Pilgrims were Separatist who opposed the control of the Church of England. There were several different religious groups involved, all of which would probably fall under the Protestant categorization.
Columbus was either a Sephardic Jew or a Catholic -- the latter possibly being a public front simply to get funding from crowns loyal to the Papacy in Rome.

This replaced into interior the term earlier the Protestant Reformation. Christopher Columbus replaced into from an Italian state, i think of, Genoea. He have been given help from the Catholic monarcy of Spain. consequently, i'm specific he replaced right into a white, Italian, Catholic.

He was Catholic. The Pilgrims were protestant, and the founders of the Constitution were mostly deists, agnostics and Christians. And, all of the writers always meant for there to be a separation of church and state as it is written in the Constitution and in their writtings to eachother, in their scholarly writtings and in their diaries.

Are you actually serious? You need to ask this question?
Of course he was catholic (as in "universal"). There was no other form of Christianity then as it was 25 years before Martin Luther's activities started the reformation.

The Pilgrims were Protestants. Calvinists, I believe. They believed that those who were successful were successful because they had a good relationship with God, and God liked them. To take it a step further, they believed that poor people were poor because God was angry at them.
Hmmm. God loves rich folk, kicks poor people's asses because they somehow deserve it. Kind of sounds like the Bible-thumping crowd running the show in the USA, doesn't it?
