Random thoughts because I'm so over it.

1. Christianity was "founded" many hundred years before the dawn of Western Enlightenment political philosophy. There is as much Jesus in the founding documents of the US and there is Jesus in the Easter bunny.

2. Even if (with a modern, Western mind) you were to argue that the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament Writings seem to share philosophic principles with the founding documents of the United States, it is still a false dichotomy. Puerto Ricans and Mexicans both speak Spanish, but Puerto Ricans have very, very, very, very, very little -- if anything -- in common with Mexicans.

3. Even IF one were to concede (because one were under the influence of strong drugs) that Christian principles (whatever those are) were the same as those found in the founding documents of the US, then it stands to reason that someone could be a "Christian," or "saved," simply by being a good American. That means: (1) America is a religion, (2) one could be religious without G-d or Jesus, (3) one could be "saved" without Jesus, (4) the Church and the "Kingdom of G-d" is the same as America, etc., etc., etc. And ALL of that is apostasy and heresy.

The men (I believe they are men) who are promulgating these ideas among the ignorant multitudes are doing it purposefully for the purpose of building an army of socially-controlled drones that follow on command. They've done a great job of it already.

Had Sam Harris been a sociologist or anthropologist, he would've gotten it right.

I'll post more, for my own amusement, a little later.
