Who are the Founding Fathers? Only 5? Or 100? 500?<br /><br />You never disclose who are 'notable" And even if they are not 'notable' 200+ years later, does that make them not worthy of 'note?'<br /><br />Jesus Christ, man.

Bottom line -- and it's point I've made for years -- fundamentalists and evangelicals who are sympathetic to the "Christian America" view of history have strict standards for what it means to be a "real Christian."</i><br /><br />Well, that's bullshit, Jon, and so is psychology teacher [not historian or anything relevant to his doctorate] Warren Throckmorton.<br /><br />Neither you or Dr. Warren Throckmorton actually have ever put forth a single direct quote to attack. You and Warren got to put up or shut up<br /><br /><i>fundamentalists and evangelicals who are sympathetic to the "Christian America" view of history</i><br /><br />with direct quotes.
