It's obviously been polluted by your hatred of religion. >From the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, Article 3: "Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged." That was written by the Congress of the Confederation of the United States. You know, the same folks that wrote or ratified our US Constitution. There are numerous examples of the importance of religion held by the founders and framers of our US Constitution. The fact that you find that fact repulsive or let your hatred of the republican form of government sway your perception of history doesn't those facts are myth. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "StrataList-OT" group.
