I agree, and this is knit-picking, but is it fair to say that few were Christians? I agree that many of the framers were famously Deists, including Franklin. BTW - I think of Deism as, "if religion keeps you from violating another's rights, then by all means, be religious." Maybe that's a misunderstanding, but I sort of think of the constitution as inspired that that concept. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:191596 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
