Christian Nation???

Jill Stanek is a former Illinois nurse, whose "delusional" claims about a supposed mass amount of abortions of babies born alive at a Chicago hospital is being given media time and of course, this woman states that Obama supported "infanticide."

Stanek said to her World Net Daily audience that "We are fooling ourselves if we think the United States is still a Christian nation," adding: "Its people just elected a barbarian as president."

I am so tired of people using their personal "self-righteous" religion in this country to blend with their political landscape. I am especially tired of the "Christian nation" notion. I am tired, tired, tired.

There are so many other people here in this country who are non-Christian. Do people forget we are a "melting pot", everyone here is an immigrant or has in some generation been an immigrant, excluding Native Americans who were here before anyone else!

The"Christian" label is another way of separating people, instead of bringing them together. This woman is "fearful, inspires fear and dulls all hope." Hope, that we can all just get along, ya know accept each other and not freak out about others' choices.

I would never bring my own beliefs and force them upon someone else, especially when it has nothing to do with me. I know many Christians and others with a strong foundation, who would never proselytize their beliefs.

There is a control freak attitude when people try to make "personal" decisions for others. And as I like to say, until you've walked a thousand miles in another person's shoes...you have no right to judge their actions. (This precludes any violence, of course)

"The government of the United States is not in any sense founded upon the Christian religion."
