I literally quoted and put in bold language that proves you are wrong, you absolute donkey.

Wtf are you talking about now. You got called out and proven to have no idea what you’re talking about. Yeah block me and retreat into your little safe bubble.

I replied to your other post conclusively showing that you are not correct. You have more reading to do on this.

Not correct and that article doesn’t say what you said it does. It says of the 56 founders only one was ordained clergy. Okay.

Whatever their beliefs, the Founders came from similar religious backgrounds. Most were Protestants. The largest number were raised in the three largest Christian traditions of colonial America—Anglicanism (as in the cases of John Jay, George Washington, and Edward Rutledge), Presbyterianism (as in the cases of Richard Stockton and the Rev. John Witherspoon), and Congregationalism (as in the cases of John Adams and Samuel Adams). Other Protestant groups included the Society of Friends (Quakers), the Lutherans, and the Dutch Reformed. Three Founders—Charles Carroll and Daniel Carroll of Maryland and Thomas Fitzsimmons of Pennsylvania—were of Roman Catholic heritage.

The sweeping disagreement over the religious faiths of the Founders arises from a question of discrepancy. Did their private beliefs differ from the orthodox teachings of their churches? On the surface, most Founders appear to have been orthodox (or “right-believing”) Christians. Most were baptized, listed on church rolls, married to practicing Christians, and frequent or at least sporadic attenders of services of Christian worship. In public statements, most invoked divine assistance.

You can argue about how devout they were and we can never know their sincere inner belief, but you cannot say they were not majority Christian. Even the ones people point to as deists were largely raised Christian. I’m glad they were not so deranged as to make religion a part of the new government, and that they had the wisdom to write the First Amendment, the one through which all others flow, in such a way as to prohibit establishment and grant free exercise. They definitely didn’t want religious dogma to play any role in governing and rightly so but it is simply not correct to say that they were other than mostly Christian in their private religious lives.

None of them were Jewish. Three of them were Catholic. What else do you think they were if not Christian?

You cite Thomas Jefferson as an example, but actually he was Christian too. The actual title of “The Jefferson Bible” you cited as evidence of his non-christianity is “The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth.”

About it, he wrote “A more beautiful or precious morsel of ethics I have never seen; it is a document in proof that I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus.”

Why is this being downvoted? It’s mostly true. Perhaps it understates the reasoning, but it’s largely accurate.

These dumbasses. Can they read the first fucking sentence? They quote it all the time, maybe try reading it. It says

“We the people…”

Not

“We the people and invisible dieties…”

Nobody is coming down from on high to save us. It’s only us to solve every problem.

This is not an area of law I stay up to date on, but that did not used to be the case. Is that a rather new development?

Last I knew most courts were holding that since customers are sharing this information with third parties (sharing with their phone companies, Apple and Google, Facebook, etc.), giving everything away anyway, most individuals have waived any claim to an expectation of privacy. The right to privacy is founded upon reasonable expectations. I did hear about some pushback on that, more recently, but not from the Court of Appeals from DC, which has jurisdiction over appeals taken from federal agencies, prior to the Supreme Court. I’d be grateful to be shown otherwise. About time, if true.

Search and seizure, the Fourth Amendment, only applies to State actors. The only exception is when a private entity is acting as an agent of the government, such as in the case of private prisons.

Congress needs to pass consumer protection laws aimed at privacy in the digital age. They haven’t updated this sort of thing I believe since 1996. It used to be legal for adult video stores to disclose the tapes people rented, but Congress passed a privacy law forbidding it when some journalists disclosed some of their rentals. The scandal had some cool name. I forgot what.

Yeah you’re still a bigot, lumping every Muslim into the same fucked up delusion you have.

I’m an atheist and have read the Koran. Got it as a gift from a Muslim friend who is an eminently decent and well meaning person.

I’ve dealt with the idea.

Nope you’re just a bigot.

Are you dumb or just a bigot?

Confused by the article. Is there a video from inside the car right before the crash?
