Deek Dubberlys last blog post..Helping Make Sense Out of All the Different Bibles
In my own humble opinion the whole thing seemless a useless and worthless endeavor…what would it accomplish?
Wait, the Bible provided the basis for our freedom of religion that allows Muslims, Hindus, and even atheists to vocalize their own beliefs? Huh. I didn’t see that coming.

Yes, but were the founding fathers really Two Kingdoms theologians? I don’t really remember that being the case, though I could be mistaken. Granted, Salem was ninety years earlier, but at least at that point, people were pointing to Scripture as a reason not to tolerate other faiths. Tolerance, it seems, only stretched to include other Christian sects.

Yeh, I’m not sure. I guess I read your comment less historically, and more theoretically. The Bible (under a certain reading), in being introduced to America, provides the basis for our freedom of religion.
