Reply to "The Continental Confederation Congress, Religion, And 20,000 Bibles!"

Patrick Henry was a rabble rouser, patriot, and instrumental in starting the Revolution.  However, he refused to attend the Constitutional Congress, saying he "smelled a rat in Philadelphia", and as a delegate for his state to ratify the Constitution, he voted against it.  So, I'm going to have to discount pretty much anything that he says concerning the ideals and principals on which our nation was founded.  He wasn't there, had no input, and didn't support it.

 

As for the bibles, how you make the logical leap, from considering the possibility of assisting in reducing a shortage to promoting a particular religion as THE religion of a nation, is beyond me.

 

As to praying five times a day, there are many of our current citizens that do exactly that.  Many attend Synagog on Saturday, and there are even those that roam airport terminals in brightly colored togas chanting weird stuff.  This is the kind of thing our founding fathers anticipated and allowed for, and is why the First Amendment exists.  We are a nation of many people, many ideals, and many religions, and they are all supported by the Constitution.
