I just watched a video by a Rabbi, proclaiming the holy Christian history of the U.S.  and how gay marriage is going to bring this country to it’s knees because we, as a nation have fallen out of harmony with Biblical Law.

Ok well, one thing the political party of God can do to help bring this country back in to biblical compliance is start following it. Starting with immigration

Leviticus 19:33-34 “When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt”

Have the wealthiest of you give your money to support education instead of destroying it.
Proverbs 16:16 – “How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.”

Outlaw women wearing pants!
Deuteronomy 22:5 – “A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.

Outlaw Divorce.
Luke 16:18 – “Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.”

And pork.
Leviticus 11:7-8 – “And the pig, because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.”

I could go on for days with this line but I think you get the point.

My biggest beef here is that the bible doesn’t say anything about gay marriage. It bans gay sex. It is an unfortunate side effect of repression that an action becomes attached to the means of permission, meaning that because Christians are not allowed to have sex until they’re married, the entire institution is epitomized and degraded by it’s sexual affiliation. But marriage is about more than sex. It isn’t about sex at all for gay couples, they are going to have sex regardless of whether or not you give them permission. Marriage, for them, is about love, commitment, and tax breaks.

And yes, there were christians present during the creation of this country. None the less, it is not a theocracy. Separation of church and state.

Treaty of Tripoli, Article 11 – Year 1797
“As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion….”

Letter from President Thomas Jefferson – Year 1802
“Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should “make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”, thus building a wall of separation between Church & State.”

Also corroborated by James Madison in 1789.

Yes there were a lot of people that claimed the U.S. for the Judeo-ChristianGod, but none of them happened to be any of the people that actually founded the country. They were one off extremist Christian ideologists who were loud enough for someone to write it down.

Being that we never have been a “Christian Country”, we reached greatness without the blessing of God. We reached greatness by spearheading the industrial revolution! Science made this country great. God has played his part in helping to chart a moral and philosophical path, but every good exported, every dime pumped through our economy, every war we’ve fought, we’ve won because science gave us the superior technology FIRST. If god is responsible for the technology, well, he was giving it to everyone. It was always a race.

Tell you what, you put a list of everything God contributed to the found and erection of this country together, and I will do the same for scientific achievement. We will call the comparison “The quantification of the distribution of blessings”.
