[QUOTE="Maui, post: 2670877, member: 45037"] The God of the Bible is absolutely savage. He killed first born children and every human - man, woman and child save one family. He is a jealous god and vengeful. He commanded men to kill their children and wants a blood sacrifice. The United States government is the oldest continuous democracy in the world. We are governed by the Constitution. Nowhere in there will you find a reference to any god. This is intentional. Many of the 10 commandments (at least those people want posted; there is more than one list) directly violate our Constitution. Enlightenment and Renaissance thought underpin our democratic republic. The puritanical thought represents some of our darker days. Separation of church and state has helped both the country and the church flourish. The US is far more religious than other western countries because of this separation and pluralism. [/QUOTE]
