1. Our country was founded to get away from a state theocracy

2. I know. Most actual historians know this also.

But theocratic clowns like David Barton are caught over and over again making shit up to say that the Founding Fathers wanted only Christians.

3. You'd be surprised about how many arguments I have about this on another board

There's a religious board I use, and it is mind-boggling how many seemingly sane people will start going off about how we supposedly still have to obey the colonial statutes of before the Revolution.

5. Even after the Revolution.

Many states had religious laws, even into the 1960's, kids in *PUBLIC* schools were required to take a Bible reading and prayer class.

4. When Jesus went into the desert to fast for 40 days the devil tempted Him.

The devil offered every kingdom in the world saying he would give them to Jesus if only Jesus would bow.

I can think of no greater warning against theocracy.

6. Code for tax cuts.

The Jesus is just a convenient carrying handle for a certain demographic.
