As in there should be no government sponsored religion, probably. But should the government be run with consideration of the values (Christian values) upon which it was built? Yes.
It still supports religion, aka not atheism.
And it was allowed and practiced for most of the history of the country until things went to crap in the early 1960s.
I'd say we need more religious influence in politics now. And by that, I don't mean quoting the Bible as proof of why we should do things.
Now, as "secularization" occurs in our governments, now you have "drag queen story hour", some even pushing to allow "gender reassignment" for children, pushing the culture of casual sex which results in higher divorce rates/unwanted pregnancies/objectification of women.
I'll take the guy who actually produces something any day of the week.
blah, blah, blah, culture war bullshit. i get it. You hate change.
Blind change is predictably a bad thing. Ask the billions of species now extinct.
They are not directly comparable when it comes to monuments.
the direct comparison is that Muhammad, like it or not, was also a politician, as I demonstrated by source.
one of those values was slavery. So no, what the values were at the time of the creation of the country has nothing to do with what our values are now.
That is a horrendous idea. You can believe whatever you want, but the US government needs to represent everyone. That includes christians, muslims, Atheists, everyone. Trying to make the government more christian just makes it a government that does not represent millions of it's own citizens.
blah, blah, blah, culture war bullshit. i get it. You hate change.
Slavery isn’t a value of... anything really.
Why are you so offended by Christian values? We are and have always been a Christian majority country. Cultural homogeneity is a strength and diversity is a weakness, so why are you against having a unified culture?
If by “change” you mean see my beloved country become a degenerate third world shithole before my very eyes, then yes, I do hate your so called “change”.
believing you have the right and obligation to enslave others is certainly a value. One which america was founded with.
Because america has never had a unified culture. The idea that you can crush people's cultural identity and subsume them into your own is a sick joke.
it's weird that you think respecting people and protecting them and their rights are qualities of a "degenerate third world shithole". Perhaps you would be happier in a "whites only" police state where the scary brown people could be properly suppressed?
Yeah, we did have a unified culture. We had universal appreciation of the Bill of Rights, a common language: English, among other things.
But "crushing" cultural identity is hardly what needs to occur. If you come to another country, you leave your old country and culture behind. You become an American. Not a Columbian who just so happens to reside here because they wanted a better job.
Respecting gay people's rights to sue bakers repeatedly who won't accommodate their lifestyle?
Respect their right to sexualize children?
Third world shithole via letting in a constant flow of immigration from the third world and granting amnesty to illegals. From the guy who thinks we shouldn't "crush their culture", I bet you have no problem letting backwards ass peoples come here and maintaining their backwards ass culture because that is the "nice" and "tolerant" thing to do. You just love that morally superior feeling at the cost of a country, don't you?
A "whites only" police state wouldn't have brown people by the way. That is just silly.
oh, so all those native Americans spoke English? And the Chinese immigrants, they spoke English too right? And all the Mexicans who became Americans when the Texas joined the US. America was founded on immigration. That means people from all over the world. It has never had a unified culture.
That is not how anything works. People don't just forget their heritage when they move.
yeah, absolutely. Bakers should not have the right to discriminate against people based on their sexual orientation. you don't have to like someone's life or approve of it. But if you discriminate against them, absolutely they should be able to sue you.
what does this even mean?
you forgot to try to hide the racism.
well you need laborers to work and die for you. that is what america was founded on. Ruled by the whites with lots of people of color for labor.
And while the English language wasn't forced on people, we didn't throw welfare money at immigrants who made little money because they didn't learn the language. The de facto official language has always been English.
And Native Americans weren't ever Americans. They have their own tribes and reservations and are separate from America.
That is an issue. I agree, first generation immigrants can never fully assimilate into another culture. But you should design citizenship and public schooling to be based on American values such as the aforementioned Bill of Rights, ensuring they have English proficiency, patriotism, etc.
You have absolutely no right to someone else's labor. You cannot force Christian bakers to make a gay wedding cake.
They want to force acceptance on other people. So much for it just being about "what consenting adults do behind closed doors", huh?
Forcing small children to have gay and transgender ideals taught to them in schools. That "sexualizing" children.
No, I'm just not going to mince words with you. Some cultures are absolutely savage and disgusting and have no place being in America.
Slavery was a mistake. It held the US economy back and was a partial cause of our bloodiest war.And the Irish were treated worse than slaves, so don't give me any of that crap.
