Rick Santorum's Preacher: Non-Christians Should Get Out Of The United States

Liberals and gays should get out too, by the way. Get ready for three minutes of the most raving and spittle-flecked bigotry and hatred you'll see today.

Founding fathers were rational deist revolutionaries.

If they wanted to carry on supporting a nation with an official religion then they would have continued as colonies to Great Britain.

This is what the founding fathers actually thought on the subject, but as we all know they stopped following those guys a long time ago.



http://www.loc.gov/loc/lcib/0205/tolerance.html

In his seminal Letter on Toleration (1689), John Locke insisted that Muslims and all others who believed in God be tolerated in England. Campaigning for religious freedom in Virginia, Jefferson followed Locke, his idol, in demanding recognition of the religious rights of the "Mahamdan," the Jew and the "pagan." Supporting Jefferson was his old ally, Richard Henry Lee, who had made a motion in Congress on June 7, 1776, that the American colonies declare independence. "True freedom," Lee asserted, "embraces the Mahomitan and the Gentoo (Hindu) as well as the Christian religion."

In his autobiography, Jefferson recounted with satisfaction that in the struggle to pass his landmark Bill for Establishing Religious Freedom (1786), the Virginia legislature "rejected by a great majority" an effort to limit the bill's scope "in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mahometan." George Washington suggested a way for Muslims to "obtain proper relief" from a proposed Virginia bill, laying taxes to support Christian worship. On another occasion, the first president declared that he would welcome "Mohometans" to Mount Vernon if they were "good workmen" (see page 96). Officials in Massachusetts were equally insistent that their influential Constitution of 1780 afforded "the most ample liberty of conscience … to Deists, Mahometans, Jews and Christians," a point that Chief Justice Theophilus Parsons resoundingly affirmed in 1810.

Thank you.

People who don't think assume everything back then was just like it is now, except they wore funny clothes.

The very IDEA of the USA (and new it was!) was to NOT have a religious government. In 18th century Europe, a religious government was one ruled by a KING, who attained his authority from divine choice. IOW... he and his line were chosen by god to rule. America was to have none of that. That was the WHOLE POINT.

I saw some post online somewhere where they were arguing the the separation of church and state was to protect religion from the state. This is of course baloney. It was worked out by our Founding Fathers to specifically keep religion out of government. No one who claimed god wanted them rule could use such an excuse (ya listening Bachmann and Santorum?)

These people like this preacher simply do not know what they are talking about because they think learning some history is too elitist, or they just don't "get it" that people actually thought differently in the past.... or something

But then, Ricky "frothy mix" Santorum acts more like an evangelical zealot than a Catholic.

to want to follow the Constitution they sure as heck haven't read it or the documents that framed it, nor the decisions that came after. Bloody fools! And this man, for preaching a political message should have his church's tax exempt status revoked!

It was bullshit spouting morons like this one that made me decide almost fifty years ago that I didn't want to be associated in any way with religion. Dennis Terry's fiery rhetoric reminds me of an enraged wild animal. The congregation should have gotten up and walked out on such a shameful display of ugly hatred. Instead, many of them actually stood and cheered. We are doomed as a nation if we allow this type of destructive activity to fester and flourish at taxpayers expense. Churches need to be taxed when they are used for this kind of anti-social activity.

/It's one thing to say "X" on one day and say "Not-X" on some other day. That's just playing propaganda. But to say "X" and "not-X" in the same sentence requires trolling your listeners to the nth degree.
