The Comic books were more wrong than suggested in the article. The Founding Fathers were, for the most part, not practicing Christians, they were Deists. The Center for the Study of the American Constitution (out of the Univ. of Wisconsin) puts it this way:
During the Revolutionary and Founding eras many Americans increasingly abandoned traditional Christianity, embracing beliefs that could be described as either Unitarian or Deist. Many of these converts publicly maintained their original religious affiliations, attempting to avoid the harsh censures that prominent deists like Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson regularly received. Deists rejected the belief in the divinity of Jesus, the doctrine of the Trinity, any notion of predestination, the Bible as the divinely inspired word of God, and state-sponsored religion. Instead, they believed in one God, who was a benevolent initiator of all events. For them, the word of God was not to be found in the Bible, but in nature and the Creation. While they regarded Jesus as a historical figure whose morality and teachings were praiseworthy and should be followed, they believed that Christian clergy and priests of other religions had perverted the true religion.
The absence in the Constitution of any mention of Christianity and the Bible was not a fluke. MAGA’s insistence on “returning to our Christian values” is an historically inaccurate scam.
I think you missed that the Bipartisan commissioned was sidelined by one created by Trump. No Dems there
My tax dollars were used for something I cannot condone.
With the notable exception of Satanism (and its bastard offspring, Ayn Rand’s Objectivism), every religion has some version of the Golden Rule (Treat others as you would have them treat you), the Silver Rule (Do not treat others as you would not be treated), and various rules against harming others in specific ways.
What is not universal is the Lex Talionis (An eye for an eye). While the Torah and the Christian Old Testament sanction it (or appear to sanction it) in some places, the New Testament specifically denies it in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:38ff). Buddhism specifically prohibits retribution.
Does the comic imply or state that Washington won at Saratoga? The generals who did the most there were Horatio Gates and, well, Benedict Arnold.
