You guys are amazing in your ability to twist reality.
There is no "Theocracy" in America, and rick, I firmly believe in freedom, I just don't think that your vision of freedom is freedom at all. It's oppression of religion in the name of freedom. I can see you now... "I believe in freedom, you just can't do that you religious freak!"
And Zhavric, please, abuse Thomas Jefferson more. You cherry pick the mans statements. How about his actions?
Quote:
In fact, consider these actions by Jefferson:
* In 1774, while serving in the Virginia Assembly, Jefferson personally introduced a resolution calling for a day of fasting and prayer.
* In 1779, as governor of Virginia, Jefferson decreed a day of "public and solemn thanksgiving and prayer to Almighty God."
* As president, Jefferson signed bills that appropriated financial support for chaplains in Congress and the armed services.
* On March 4, 1805, President Jefferson offered "A National Prayer for Peace," which petitioned "Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen."
