"At the time I had this information, I was only liking Mccain because he was the less of evils. If Huckabee were still in the race, I would be one of his supporters. Say what you will, but I do not think that Obama is ready to be the commander in chief of America.
I do not like the fact that politics have become verbal battles where the victor get's a posistion of power. I am not trying to imply that obama is a terrorist, that is just icing on the cake.
Another thing, Obama has been exposed to so much of the muslim religion that he could actually be a muslim. And if he is a muslim, people would be electing a man who is against the things that this nation was built on, Christian beliefs."

"You do know that this nation was specifically not founded on Christian beliefs, and that most of the Founding Fathers were Deists?

And how, exactly does one "pick up" Islam? Is it contagious, like chicken pox? If I live near a mosque am I in danger of catching Islam? Are there rashes involved, or does your skin just turn dusky?

If you want to argue for McCain, then pick something about him and argue it. If all you have is talking points, you're wasting everyone's time, including your own. "

"Enlightenment philosophy had a huge effect on the planning of the Constitution and the reasoning behind the American Revolution, and that philosophy was founded heavily in deist ideals. Founding Fathers who were especially noted for being influenced by such philosophy include Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Cornelius Harnett, Gouverneur Morris, and Hugh Williamson. Their political speeches show distinct deistic influence. Other notable Founding Fathers may have been more directly deist. These include James Madison, John Adams, possibly Alexander Hamilton, Ethan Allen, and Thomas Paine (who published The Age of Reason, a treatise that helped to popularize deism throughout America and Europe).

Thomas Paine in particular hated churches and all organized religion, and while they all promoted the idea of a God above all, the rest of it -- including any supernatural influences, reports of miracles, virgin births, etc. -- was considered mere speculation.

While they all professed a belief in God, it wasn't anything like what you'd probably consider "Christian" today. And most of the individuals you listed weren't the Founding Fathers, which were what the discussion referred to. You're talking about presidents. Not the same thing. "
