Read This...

Hey it’s National Book Lovers Day.  They say this is a great day to pick up a book and do some reading. I am pretty sure this is not a day Republicans celebrate as few of them can read and they mostly celebrate National Book Burning Day. 

Speaking of good books I just finished one that I really enjoyed.  It is scary as hell but was a fascinating read.  It is Christian Nation by Frederic C. Rich.  It is a novel and the premise is that John McCain and Sarah Palin won the election and then John dies and Sarah becomes President.  The religious right wing-nuts take over and we become a Christian Nation.

We are not a Christian nation, never have been one and hopefully will never be one. Don’t just take my word, check out the Treaty of Tripoli, it states,” As the government of the United States of America is not on any sense founded on the Christian Religion.”  It was initiated under President George Washington, 1796 and signed into law by President John Adams, 1797. It was ratified unanimously by the Senate, 1797 and published in full in all 13 states, with no record of complaint or dissent.

This is from the Encyclopedia Britannica 1968. “One of the embarrassing problems for the early nineteenth-century champions of the Christian faith was that not one of the first six Presidents of the United States was an orthodox Christian.”

The United States was founded on the principal of religious FREEDOM, not any one religion.




Stay tuned for future adventures.
