America was founded on rock and roll! 🤘 America is a hippie nation. Sex, drugs and rock and roll! Even Jesus Christ was a long haired blond hippie. The 60s was the dream of George Washington. Rock and roll is my religion and Elvis is still alive and he is our pope. Religious people from the near east, middle east, and far east don't like these, but we got our own home grown religious conservatives in the west that don't like these either. And America has to protect itself from such people, both outside and inside. By the way, Christianity has it's roots from the east, has ideas that are very much of the east, old testament written from a language in the east.

Now Washington in his time didn't exactly have rock and roll the way it is now, but I'm sure he chilled to some form of dithyrambic music available then. Granted he did come from a milieu of Greco-Roman Judeo Christian Enlightenment even Romanticism, but you people emphasize Judeo Christian and forgot the rest. What books did they read? Wasn't just the Bible, bunch of Classical Greek and Roman stuff, Enlightenment and Romantic Philosophers, and -- law books! And oh yeah what milieu did Christianity develop? What language was the New Testament written in and from what culture did they steal oops I mean burrowed those tropes?

The enlightenment idea of the division of power is very prominent in our laws, and our government. Why did George Washington decline to be king? Why is the presidency term only 4 years and can't run for more than a second term? Why do we have three branches of government? Why are those Capitol rioters being charged with felonies? Robert Jeffries needs to update those videos shown in the beginning with that, and this time say, "leading up to the January 6 attack on the Capitol."

In conclusion, America was founded by lawyers. In Washington's time, there were more books being ordered in USA than in England, mostly law books. We are a nation of lawyers and that makes us a litigious bunch. We're all suing each other to hell and crying foul, brutality and harassment. But hey it's all good. In some cases the law will act as a sword and go after people, in others a shield to protect people. And in all cases Lady Justice has a blind fold and she's not gonna care who's Christian or not. For we are a nation of laws, laws that don't mirror the commandments. Yeah we'll punish you for theft and murder, but that's not exclusive to Christianity, nor did it begin with it. And we don't have to honor our parents, especially when we reach 18. We do not stone people for adultery. We can make fun of god or allah and yeah I wrote their names in small letters. We don't have blasphemy laws. We have laws that made the division of power, and continue to protect the division of power, and whatever else division, including the division between church and state. America will never be a theocracy, and the founding fathers have done well to protect us from it. I'll acknowledge the milieu it was formed in, that there are Christian influences, but many other influences, but it is not a Christian nation, and it'll never be a Muslim nation, or Hindu nation, or pagan nation, or atheist nation. America, forever growing, and no religion, or political ideology shall shackle it.

@DestroyerOfIdeologies God can shackle us and he is, if we don't return to our founding fathers dream for this nation.
