"And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you." Inner Fundie: This is just because the Romans would kill them! Although, that makes me wonder why they don't take the advice, considering they're all piss-scared they'll be executed by the One World Government. |

Because the whole point of a persecution fantasy is to be all martyr-like and shit. Emphasis on fantasy. |

Because any criticism they receive is just "fulfilling scripture". There's nothing more satiating to a fundie. |

THEY CAN, they just can't make anyone else do it too. If it was actually praying that they cared about they'd just do it silently. It's inflicting their insanity on everyone else that's the goal. QFT! |

*Face palm*
Regarding the original topic:
The US as we know it was founded by, in fact, Christians. However, the natives prior were not Christians, so therefore the US is not a "Christian Nation" at the true start of inhabitants being here. People tend to forget that.

What about the people who believe white people were the actual first to get here? Everyone knows all white people are Christian. |

Not to mention, the christian thing is to shun, alienate, and run out of town. Which is why Jesus only poke with thsoe who were already Christian.... |

Even the Puritans disagreed on separation of church and state. Theocracy might have been the goal in Plymouth, but down the road in Providence, there was just the opposite opinion.
