How is it possible for one man to come out with such nonsense?

The words "Jesus Christ, Christianity, Bible, Creator, Divine, and God" are not mentioned in your Constitution-- not even once.

Even i as an Englishman know that. How can you be so blind?[/b]
Oh, it is not just me, many men believe such nonsense, as you call it.

P.S. I think you may be the one that is blind. Look again and see if you
do not see "Lord" somewhere.

This country's founding fathers knew God had a hand in it, for did not
they refer to the providence of God. That is with a big "G".

you were calling the opinion of "Encyclopedia Canadiana " propaganda.

I was telling you that as Encyclopedia Canadiana had no vested interest in the side for or against JWs then its text could not be called propaganda.

G75 used a quote from that tome to back-up an argument. That is called debating a point it is not propaganda.


edit: I am NOT on the side of JWs as you well know, but I do respect the truth.
It does not matter where he gets his propaganda, it is used as propaganda.

What exactly does that prove, that there are lots of thicko's in the US like yourself? Your argument is simply ad populum. It's a logical fallacy, just because a lot of people believe something doesn't make it true. To paraphrase Bertrand Russel -

If fifty million people believe a stupid idea, it's still a stupid idea.

Anyone reading the first couple of paragraphs should be able to see that
this is BS from the losers point of view and nothing but nonsense. It
represents a distorted view of history in which the fight for liberty had
nothing to do with the war.

Only those British thickos who had the courage and sense came over here
to start a new and freer life. That is why America is home of the free and
the brave.

P.S. "I am looking forward very much to getting back to Cambridge, and
being able to say what I think and not to mean what I say: two things which
at home are impossible. Cambridge is one of the few places where one can
talk unlimited nonsense and generalities without anyone pulling one up or
confronting one with them when one says just the opposite the next day."

Your opinion is not a refutation of any facts and has no value in the context. We shall
ask you again, although i doubt it shall do any good.

I'm not sure what any of that has do with what we were discussing. America was not founded to be a Christian nation, you're only response to my rebuttal was 'well, that's what a lot of people here believe'.

There are many, of which the following from the first paragraph is an
example:

The Declaration of Independence contains nonsense, fear-mongering, lies
and baseless speculation.
