that the good decent Christians that came before us had the intelligence to correct the Founding Fathers? If it weren't for good Christians, no one would have put "In God We Trust" on our coins in 1864, or to add that phrase to the paper money in 1957.
If it weren't for Christians, who would have added the phrase "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance on June 14, 1954 (the genesis of Flag Day)?
Aren't you glad that righteous Christians before us corrected the oversight of our Founding Fathers, and reminded the world that the US is a Christian nation?

HUGE correction: I said that was the "genesis of Flag Day." That is very wrong. Flag Day is much older than this. I meant to say "on Flag Day." Forgive my stupid mistake. (But I know most of you will mention it anyway).

Like Granddad said, "You can't do historical revisionism without some historic revisions!"

Yes that's great but our founding fathers were Christian too. Freedom of religion doesn't really mean separation of church and state, it means that government can't deny someone their right to freedom of worship as they please but considering that the US is mostly Christian, it is a Christian nation.

Oh I get it. You're whining. Right? Get up a movement to get rid of those things if they bother you. That will take up some of your idle time. That would be more productive than making silly statements here.
