America's Founding Fathers

Organizations like the AFA would have you believe that America was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics.

I disagree. I am not a historian, but I think the founding fathers probably had a lot on their mind, including the separation of church and state, which is why we no longer have prayer in school.

America began with the Declaration of Independence:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

It may be a gross oversimplification, but I think the founding fathers wanted two things: freedom and equality. So it saddens me to think that so many Americans today are willing to surrender their freedom for the semblance, the mere illusion of security, when our forefathers were willing to give their very lives for that same freedom.

Equality in America is a joke... It doesn't exist. It never has. It never will, not while organizations like the AFA and men like George W. Bush influence public opinion and policy.

The founding fathers created a deliberate and distinct separation of church and state. I think they understood that when a church or religion exerts any influence on the state, the combination eventually devolves into a theocracy, which is where I believe we are headed. America is a democracy, and one of the basic principles of democracy is majority rule. But what happens if the majority is wrong.
