Some believe they were Freemasons.

THE FOUNDING FATHERS

Christians have been led to believe that the government of the United States of America is based on the basic principles of Christian morality, which have their origin in the Scriptures. Notable for propagating this misinformation are D. James Kennedy, author of a book promoting astrology, and Peter Marshall, Jr. (son of the late U.S. Senate Chaplain) who wrote The Light and The Glory. However, both of these ministers are members of the Council for National Policy, a secret organization founded by the globalist Council on Foreign Relations which has an anti-Christian agenda.

Historical evidence militates against the view that those who formulated the fundamental documents of American government were Christians. To the contrary, not a few who wrote and signed the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the U. S. Constitution were Deists, Theists and Freemasons. Webster's Dictionary defines "theism" and "deism":

I think there were a lot of Episcopalians. I agree; It would be interesting to know more about that.

You suppose?? That's really strange since most of their ancestors came to this country fleeing the Anglican (Episcopal) Church.

Benjamin Franklin: | Portrait of Ben Franklin
“ God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel” –Constitutional Convention of 1787 | original manuscript of this speech

In Benjamin Franklin's 1749 plan of education for public schools in Pennsylvania, he insisted that schools teach "the excellency of the Christian religion above all others, ancient or modern."

Some of the finest examples of living are lived by people who have no official religious affiliations whatsoever. I don't know if they even realize that their lives are living sermons.

Witchcraft in the White House
Posted by Kristen Atkinson on Saturday, August 15, 2009 4:11:43 PM

The Obama White House is abuzz with talk of witchcraft by first grandmother, 72-year-old Marian Robinson, who lives in the White House residence. A close friend of Michelle Obama says the president is furious at his mother-in-law after learning that she was practicing Santeria, an African spirit cult, in the White House.

"The president is quite upset about this on two different levels. First, he is a committed Christian, no matter what his critics say about Reverend Wright. He is adamant that Sasha and Malia be raised with Christian influences. He does not want them to be involved with African voodoo. And secondly, he is worried about the political fallout if his enemies get wind of this. Rev. Wright was bad enough, but this would be political suicide," a close friend of Michelle’s confided

SanterÍa - sănˌtərēˈə, sänˌ–, religion originating in W Africa, developed by Yoruba slaves in Cuba, and practiced by an estimated one million people in the United States. Blending African beliefs with those of Roman Catholicism, it fuses Christian saints with African deities (orishas). Rites are led by a priest or priestess

Unbelievable smear by lie and innuendo.

If you have a rabbit's foot in your pocket, I can find some crap on the Internet that proves you're a Wiccan.

Or a four leaf clover. Or a horseshoe.

Not that I can even see what is supposedly in his hands, if they are his hands.

Utter CRAP and you should be ashamed.

Here you claim you discuss and bring information but you just proved again that all you do is smear.

the picture is from Time, one of your trusted sources of information.

Wicca is different, do you ever wonder why Code Pink does spells etc. That's wicca.

why is it a smear. Santeria is a Constitutional recognized religion.

They even have the right to sacrifice animals now.

Court gives Santeria priest OK to sacrifice goats

By LINDA STEWART BALL (AP) – Jul 31, 2009

DALLAS — A federal appeals court reversed a lower court's ruling on Friday that barred a Santeria priest from sacrificing goats in his Texas home, saying a city's decision to prohibit the ritual violated the man's religious rights.

Do you know what the idol represents?

Interesting, maybe not true, but interesting, don't you agree.

You should show more curiosity about others' religions and customs.

Personally I could care less what he carries he is a socialist either way. But before you start scolding someone you may want to actually look into it first. In a few seconds I saw the picture appears to be authentic and from a reputable source "Time"/CNN. If you go to the link you can see the picture in larger form to make out the things he carries such as the Monkey God!

Why scold when you wont even research? :?

I went to the Time link...it's about lucky charms and gives you a place to click to see other people's lucky charms. That statue on the end table looks all the world like something my mother brought back when she was with the International Red Cross during WWII. She kept it in the curio cabinet.

Once again, R2, you are so much kinder than I. What Hypocrite has come up with is pure desperation and horse****...from a desperate horse's ***.

hypo is just a plant here to try and spread an extreme viewpoint by whatever sleazy means he can employ. i find it easier all the time to ignore any particular post because they're all pretty similar. who was the poster(s) we had just before the election and then disappeared when it became obvious it was a lost cause. he can always count on sandhusker for a hell yeah but i doubt he has convinced anybody. let him preach to the choir.

Now Alice, Rev. Wright has recently written on his Pastor's page that we must have tolerance for other religions, including Santeria.

Maybe what you should do is check into the history of Santeria and it's connection to Black history.

Does Obama's mother in law practice Santeria?

How do you feel about Santeria Reader. Isn't the history interesting?

Maybe we can discuss it.

Even SCOTUS and lower courts are needing to research and make decisions about Santeria.

This isn't some far out in left field subject, it's current.

Sotomayor Overturned Prison Regulations to Allow Santeria-Practicing Convicts to Wear Beads
Monday, June 22, 2009
By Fadia Galindo

(CNSNews.com) – Judge Sonia Sotomayor, President Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court, told the State of New York in 1994 that it must allow prison inmates who practice Santeria to wear multi-colored beads. Santeria is a sect that combines African religious traditions with elements drawn from Roman Catholicism.

In the case of Campos v. Coughlin , Sotomayor told state prison officials that their fear of a growing gang movement within the prison was less important than the right of Santeria faithful to wear religious beads.

So much time and money spent on such a small message board, what does PB have 20 regular members.

I bet Rush or someone in charge of the Republican party is paying him $50,000 a year to spend 24 hours on this site trying to win over maybe 5 liberal posters.
