prediction : political : WHY DIDNÂ’T OUR FOREFATHERS DECIDE TO MAKE AMERICA A CHRISTIAN THEOCRACY? [+] ballot by RobinGaylord created Sat Dec 11, 04 Well the Right wing half of America seems to think that the forefathers intended to make America a country where that recognized Christianity as its foundation or even its inspiration. The truth is they didnÂ’t do anything to designate that that is the case. In God We Trust was fist used on the bronze two-cent piece, which was issued from 1864 to 1873. In 1908, Under Theodore Roosevelt, Congress passed a Bill which ensured that the motto In God We Trust was now present on all Gold and Silver coins. It wasnÂ’t until 1956 that Under God was added to our pledge (or should I say the theistÂ’s American Flag Pledge). ItÂ’s very obvious to anyone that has researched the issue that the forefathers wanted to ensure that all Americans could pray to whatever god they wanted to or not pray to any without fear of persecution primarily from the federal government. Why did they choose democracy, a form of government designed by pagan Greeks, and not Monarchy, like the ones Christianity formed under? It seems they relied more on reason than we give them credit for. Remember Thomas Paine rallied Americans behind the Revolution and wrote the age of reason. To me a secular government (the one we have that does not acknowledge any religion as being better or more right than another) is best all around for everyone. What do you think? Why didnÂ’t our forefathers decide to make America a Christian Theocracy? Secular government is most fair to all Americans of any faith or lack thereof. I thought they did till I actually researched it. I have not researched this issue or read your comment and I disagree. I have researched this issue and read your comment and I disagree.
