well, i wouldnt say that i was twisting. i was simply asking you to provide proof.
it was not intended to be a manipulation.
but ok.
i think that we can agree that
100% of those present were of european stock.
and i wont even ask you to show me a stat that says that 90% of the populous at the the drafting of the constitution were christian.
what i am trying to explain here is that i am of the opinion that good social decency is inherant in advanced society and that religious affiliation is salt to the meat. there were experiments in similar systems during pagean times as well.
it may be an influence in the sense that it something useful for attributing something, but it is not, nore was it the basis for the framing of the government of the united states.
so, in that sense, again, yes, i am serious.
like i said. no disrespect to your faith.
i have my own as well.
