[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1126314, member: 18225"] The '[I]history of the Founders[/I]' is a subject which is hotly debated. It's clear which side of the debate you fall on, but also be clear that the question of how 'Christian' or 'Deist' or 'Theistic Rationalist' the Founding Fathers were is most definitely up for debate and discussion. Again, I appreciate the strength of your particular belief, but I don't need you to 'teach' me a history lesson. Of course I don't believe that history is whatever I wish to believe it is. I also understand that history is nuanced and that multiple things can be simultaneously true. You take such a rigid line, and I disagree with you - I don't think it's as stark and inflexible as you make it out to be. We can have a conversation about it, or you can declare that I don't understand what you're saying, in which case, yes neither one of should waste our time. [/QUOTE]
