Simple question, IF the US was founded on Christian values, which ones were they?
"Simple question, IF the US was founded on Christian values, which ones were they?
Turn the other cheek?"
No, we're not too good at that.
"Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's?"
Well, yeah, that's what it's supposed to be. Jesus had the right idea there, it's called "seperation of church and state".
"Blessed are the peacemakers?"
Yeah, I'm sure they are, and we used to be, but unfortunately I can't say that about us anymore.
"Obey the government, for God is the one who has put it there?"
That's a rough translation, but yes, according to scripture we're supposed to obey those in power because God has supposedly put them there. (Are you listening, Obama haters?) Of course, it's kinda hard to understand, because that means he put Ahmadinejad in power, also.
"Blessed are the meek?"
Again, the USA isn't too good at the meek thing.
"Which particular Christian values, as expressed by Jesus, did the armed revolt against an established government embody?"
I guess you're talking about the revolt against Mother England, in which case I have to answer...none, actually. Of course, that was my point in the first place. We are not now or have we ever been a Christian nation.
