I’ve Been Thinking
April 3rd, 2013 . by CaryMy regular readers know that is a clue to run and hide.
In a recent back-and-forth, I used the phrase “Judea-Christian values” in reference to how this country was founded. Naturally, since I was discussing the topic with a liberal, I was wrong, plus he managed to throw a bunch of quotes at me showing that the founders were a bunch of heathens who never set foot in a church.
I’ve been trying to research in my limited spare time (being a Dad for a six year old is very time-consuming) but haven’t gotten very much accomplished. I have dug up some statistics on how much of the background material the founders of this nation used came from the Bible – it’s a little over 35% or so – I think that number might be a little low. I do know that even Blackstone (English common law) drew most of his base for the law from the Bible. Most of the divide between the “liberal” and the “conservative” sides in this nation can, I believe, be illustrated by asking both sides to indicate whether or not they attend church and read the Bible. Yes, there are some conservatives who don’t, and there are some liberals who do, but for the most part you can infer the beliefs of someone by their affiliation with a religion.
Conservatives know that there is only one truth. Liberals make up “truths” to fit the story they want to tell, much like the little kid caught taking cookies from the jar. Actually, I would believe the little kid before I believed a liberal, but there you have it.
I’m going to keep working this theory and pulling numbers together. Hopefully I’ll have something in the next few days.
Chat ya later…
