The path to Truth lies via careful study of reality, not the dreams of our fallible minds - me

I just deleted his avatar. If he wants to keep it, he'll have to resize it manually and upload it again.

"Physical reality” isn’t some arbitrary demarcation. It is defined in terms of what we can systematically investigate, directly or not, by means of our senses. It is preposterous to assert that the process of systematic scientific reasoning arbitrarily excludes “non-physical explanations” because the very notion of “non-physical explanation” is contradictory.

The actual reason we are not a 'christian' nation is because the founders specifically created a secular nation.

 

In addition: many of the founders weren't christian.

 

Madison  - the real author of the constitution, didn't accept the divinity of jesus. Neither did Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin.

 

As for George Washington:

 

As noted by Franklin Steiner in "The Religious Beliefs Of Our Presidents" (1936), Washington commented on sermons only twice. In his writings, he never referred to "Jesus Christ." He attended church rarely, and did not take communion. When trying to arrange for workmen in 1784 at Mount Vernon, Washington made clear that he would accept "Mohometans, Jews or Christians of any Sect, or they may be Atheists." Washington wrote Lafayette in 1787, "Being no bigot myself, I am disposed to indulge the professors of Christianity in the church that road to heaven which to them shall seem the most direct, plainest, easiest and least liable to exception."

"Hitler burned people like Anne Frank, for that we call him evil.
"God" burns Anne Frank eternally. For that, theists call him 'good.'
