Thoughts while shaving: America’s first Supreme Court chief justice, John Jay, stated, “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is their duty – as well as privilege and interest – of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.” How far post-Christian, post-Constitutional America (Amerika) has come from the Christianity (faith of our Fathers), to John Dewey's godless religion, "Secular Humanism", preached behind taxpayer funded pulpits in public schools/universities from kindergarten to Ph.D, unleashing millions of humanoid minions on witless society! Period! End Report!

Why don't you quote Ben Franklin or Thomas Jefferson, or even better, Thomas Paine?
Or the Treaty of Tripoli?
@Nemo
It's real, not Yet Another Barton LieTM . Tho the context of the quote shows Jay believes "Real Christians will abstain from violating the rights of others, and therefore will not provoke war."
The majority do not believe as I believe! Help, I'm being oppressed!
Also, Christianity is still the majority. They're just more Christ like and less cunt like.
Has this guy been eating the shaving cream again?
If these are his thoughts while shaving, I'd hate to see what his thoughts are during toilet breaks.
""Secular Humanism", preached behind taxpayer funded pulpits in public schools/universities from kindergarten to Ph.D, unleashing millions of humanoid minions on witless society!"
What's the matter? Are you distraught that children are allowed to think for themselves, as opposed to being indoctrinated into your cultish worldview?
Could somebody more verses in memes than I am please tell me why people keep spelling American "Amerika?"
The only pattern I can see is that they seem to use this term when arguing that today's US is somehow fraudulent (e.g. a country capable of electing a black president or passing the clean air act).
But where does it come from? Is it an oblique Nazi reference using a German spelling?
@psalmanazaar
"Amerika" was the name of a miniseries that aired on ABC in '87. It was about the aftermath of a Soviet takeover, kinda like a John Birch version of "It Can't Happen Here".
As for what secular humanism has to do with communism... I guess its the old "everything I don't like it the same thing" shtick.
@Ebon,
When I was in college, I had one professor who did attack my (then) Christian faith, as well as push leftist political views. Many people in the class openly thought he was weird, and I told this professor off on numerous occasions for using a history class to promote political and religious agendas (we were required to keep a journal explaining our reactions to each lecture). I got an A in the class.
No other instructor did that, though. Sure, they taught us facts (climate change is a reality in an ecology class), but I was never pushed to hold an opinion (we need more government regulation).
In addition, there's also college life in general. For many young believers, they have lived their whole lives under tight controls and limits. Suddenly, the structure that guided much of their life is gone. That's why so many college students start partying and drinking like complete idiots. That's also why many of them fail their classes without their parents around to make them study.
@Ebon
What is it that conservatives think actually goes on at universities?
That evil atheist professors brainwash students into not believing in God day after day until the one righteous, upstanding Christian student shows him that God really does exist where the professor gets down on his knees, begs forgiveness, and accepts Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior while the class stands and applauds. Then the Christian student witnesses to the class for the rest of the class period.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
