A stance of submission does not equal a stance of rebellion.

I've already gone over this in a past video, but considering the nonsense that continues to be spread in the US, this bares repeating: the political values that helped to frame the government of this country are NOT based on the theological values of Christianity. The latter is based upon submission to authority and God as the main focus of all things, while the former is based upon rebellion, and human beings as the main focus. The two do NOT reconcile, and no amount of quote mining, propaganda, or religious whining is going to chance that. I got on this subject because of an individual who tried to argue otherwise under my old video on this topic. He didn't do too good a job. For those interested in the rather ridiculous (yet valuable for those interested in seeing just how badly those without the proper knowledge can form their arguments) conversation, you can find it here: http://www.youtube.com/all_comments?v=POCh_Hp7Ya0 If anyone needs further convincing on this point, start here: http://www.nobeliefs.com/Tripoli.htm You may want to then read the links provided there, and also pick up an advanced and detailed American History book. Oh, and look up the following Christian philosophies: Socinianism and Arianism. You also want to understand what Deism is. Until you do, don't even think you can talk about the beliefs of the Founding Fathers with any sort of authority. ... oh, and yeah. I'm back. Again.
