Extendedcab keeps saying this country was founded up Christian values.

This country's economy was founded upon the exportation of cotton and exploitation of free labor (and of course no taxation w/o representation). Women and POC were considered property and less than the white man. These were tenets of the society. Over half this country's life women haven't been allowed to vote. We just crossed the 100 year mark of that.

That stuff doesn't mesh with what the Bible is all about. So extendedcab is just hiding behind a veil of "muh christian values" while wanting to go back to the way things were. Despicable.

If you need further proof that the country was definitely not founded on Christian values... the first amendment flies completely opposite of the first commandment.

(And before you go into the argument that it was better than other places in the world at the time. Cool. The debate is about versus now. Now the country is closer to God's vision than it ever has been. Not saying much but slavery isn't a high bar to beat.)
