[A post arguing that America was founded on Christianity that, or so he claims.]

You weren't alive when the revolution started, and neither was I, but I can see that it started changing because people started serving themselves, doing things that brought pleasure to themselves even if it was at someone else's expense. And they tried to justify it in their mind by saying that there is no God, that this whole "God" is a sham to make us feel bad for doing something wrong. That's the equivalent of a kid closing their eyes and telling themselves "there's not a man with a knife outside my door" when there really is one.... they can convince themselves that such a thing doesn't exist, but oops.... it really does.... and when that kid opens the door, they're in for a bad kind of surprise. I understand the draw to atheism... it'd be nice if I could just go around and have sex with any girl I ever felt drawn towards, and drink all the alcohol I wanted, and when I get bored with my wife, just leave her and cheat on her.... or whatever other "sin" you struggle with... it'd be nice to be able to do it without being guilty of anything, but you're doing nothing more than telling yourself that you have nothing to be guilty about. You might as well be listening to those tapes where it's all "repeat after me.... I am a good person..... I am important..... I am somebody..."
