James Madison said, “We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government; upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to (GOD’S LAWS) the Ten Commandments.”

This quote comes from the man who knows better than you or me about the original intent and/or direction for the USA. It is ridiculous to think that judges who are immoral would be given the right to even hold those positions in the day of our framing as a nation. The framers lives and other writings contain volumes of intent to the contrary of your statements. We do not agree at all. There are many quotes from framers that warn of immoral men ruling, men without God or Christian conviction would be the ruin of our nation.

I am not fooled by David Barton. He is correct, and I consider him a friend. I find your willingness to propagate a Christ-less, or Christian-less influence in our founding very sad, and even dangerous. David Barton’s work, documentaries, teachings, his leadership, and writings are profoundly clear.

This is incorrect, don’t be fooled by David Barton. While Blackstone DID say that Christianity was part of the common law, the actual rules contained therein have little to do with the Bible but rather are the result of an evolution of judges deciding cases and controversies.

And more importantly others, like Jefferson for instance, vehemently disputed the idea that Christianity was part of the common law. If the common law were based on the Bible (which it is not) Jefferson could not have been able to do this.

The Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Federalist Papers likewise have little if anything to do with the Bible. You won’t see any of the men who wrote those documents EVER quoting verses and chapters of scripture for the propositions contained therein.
