Indeed, if you want to find an 'American' religion, you would have a tough time finding one that is more 'American' than the Mormons. This is a comfort? A Christian religion that preaches democratic values, good citizenship, and teaches that the Constitution is divinely inspired, yes. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor |

A Christian religion that preaches democratic values, good citizenship, and teaches that the Constitution is divinely inspired, yes. It is the opposite of a comfort; it is alarming. Any religion that attempts to assign credit for the Constitution to its particular deity should be regarded with profound distrust. In fact, ALL religions attempting to connect themselves with government in any way should be distrusted. -- Dan "Sanity is not to be without fantasy, but to know reality, and remember the difference." - Clive James |
