Have you noticed that America was at it's best when Christianity was still dominant? In fact, like it or not people, America was founded on Christian beliefs. When you take that out of the equation you get modern day America; corrupt, greedy, arrogant, ignorant, lazy, undisciplined and promiscuous."
First off Mark, that should have been "one Nation under God" Not "Law". Secondly, think more clearly about what you said. During those so-called times when Christianity dominated our nation, we had slavery, ONLY white landowning Males had the right to vote. We had Robber barons who would steal the land right from under a settler just because they could get away with it. We had wholesale slaughter of Indians, Mexicans, Chinese, Irish, Italian and a variety of other immigrants. We had little children working in the sweatshops of the urban east as well as doing backbreaking labor on farms. People would work their tails off for only pennies per day and could ONLY spend their wages at "company stores" (stores owned and run by the companies for which they worked) they lived in company towns and had to pay rent to the company. In effect, the workers were working for free because every penny they made was spent right back into the companies that they worked for.
Your ideal of a Christian run society meant that ONLY the wealthy were free. Everyone else was an effectual slave. THAT is what YOU want to return to? Then why don't you all get together with all the other like-minded Christians and form your own "Christian Nation". Perhaps Iran might be a suitable location for such a country, It's IN the region where Christianity began, the region ALREADY follows a set of Religious laws, I'm sure they would love to include yours as well. BOTH seem to thrive on the exploitation of women, children and other minorities to the betterment of the dominant males. But here in the US of A, we have decided LONG ago to forgo a Religious society in favor of freedom for ALL Americans. IN fact, it was MOSTLY Christians who pushed for precisely that set of circumstances. So that kind of leaves me confused about Christianity. Make up your minds, Are you for Freedom or are you NOT for freedom? You folks seem to be all over the place on this and a few other issues. I haven't seen so many people try to swat at so many ideas at the same time since I watched a couple of blind folks try to play"whack-a-mole" at the carnival. So, Mark, tell us PLEASE? Precisely WHICH CHRISTIAN principles America was founded upon? If my examples of how many areas of our society WERE based upon Christian principles and those despised customs are no longer in effect, then perhaps Christian principles is NOT what we need to return to but, in fact, we need to move even further away from that sort of Christian injustice.
Oh and yes, Oubache IS being just a tad satirical with his questions. It would seem that satire is wasted on many of you. *shakes head*
