What do you think of this statement?

[Calif. Hunter]

...and who do you think made it?

"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship."

 

[Calif. Hunter]

How about this one?

"And if we now cast our eyes over the nations of the earth, we shall find that, instead of possessing the pure religion of the Gospel, they may be divided either into infidels, who deny the truth; or politicians who make religion a stalking horse for their ambition; or professors, who walk in the trammels of orthodoxy, and are more attentive to traditions and ordinances of men than to the oracles of truth."

Just wondering, as we often hear about the "separation of church and state" as if it were part of the Constitution.

George Washington on the first and the second sounds like Jefferson.

Even though there are those in this country that would like to change these facts and bury their heads in the sand, there is so much truth here...Thanks Rick....

Actually the first is from Patrick Henry (Give me Liberty or give me death...) and the second is from Samuel Adams.

Thanks for the historic words of wisdom...

Who would have thought that a beer maker could have so much wisdom
