Other religions did not contribute to the creation of USA.
"True!"
'I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature'
'There is more need for lighthouses in our country than churches.'
'But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.'
'Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear'
'I have examined all the known superstitions of the world, and I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology.'
'Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man'
'The only way to combat ridiculous propositions is through mockery'
-Thomas Jefferson
'Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise, every expanded prospect'
'In no instance have... the churches been guardians of the liberties of the people'
-James Madison
'The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion'
'For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.'
-George Washington

'Isa is the Arabic for Jesus. So what is your stance on Jews, Jerkoid? Are they pagans for not respecting your 'Lord', yet he is their deity too; your QJV originates from Hebrew writings. And there's also the little matter of Romans 11:26-32: strange then, that - for non-respecters of your 'Lord', they will bypass him - via that John 14:6 (and thus Christain doctrine)-destroying part of your 'Christian Bible' all Jews, religious or not, will be going to Heaven. They are Saved: the Elect, natch. And all because of their 'Disobedience'.
You know what is also Disobedience, Jerko? Atheism, Homosexuality and being part of 'Pagan' beliefs as you subjectively define such.
Therefore all we Atheists, LGBT people, real Neo-Pagans such as our own SpukiKitty - and the 'Isa-respecting Muslims (remember: 'Isa is the Arabic for Jesus) will be Saved, declared the 'Elect' and are going to Heaven.
The only one stopping you from proving we in FSTDT wrong, is you. We'd love to hear your Professor of Theology-level thesis explaining as to why we're wrong. Otherwise, by your refusal to do so, you are making a tacit admission that we're right. Go ahead, Jerky: you have our undivided attention. If your 'Lord' debated those Pharisees, and answered their questions, so what's your excuse for not answering our questions to our satisfaction. Or - by your refusal to debate us, are you therefore admitting that your 'Lord' himself isn't a 'Real Christian' because he debated with others...?! [/mega-paradox]
Welp, everyone you subjectively declare a 'pagan' are the Elect, are Saved, and are going to Heaven. Your 'Christian Bible says so (Rom. 11:26-32 - destroying John 14:6, therefore Christainity as a whole - ergo Rom. 11:30-32 for we Atheists, LGBT people & non-fundie Theists, because of our Disobedience), we accept so. Unless you can debate with us, answering our questions to our satisfaction as to why we won't: with a Professor of Theology-esque thesis, that's your job done here, Jerky: So why do you need to keep coming back to FSTDT...?!
