Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm irritated with the people who are very vocal about being "Christian" but seem to get most of their biblical information from the Old Testament.
So they're really just confused Jews, then.

I still cry a little on the way home from work, when I hit Atwater Village.

Except that I'm sure that most of these people would say that the Talmud doesn't count.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My motivation doesn't seem to have come to work today, which is bad, but my ability to care didn't come either.
Clearly they are off conspiring together about how to convince you to go out for drinks later.

ALso claiming the founding fathers were Christian.
It really depends on how you define the founding fathers. It seems that most of the people who are claiming this are thinking about black-clothed Pilgrims praying with friendly Indians over a Thanksgiving turkey. (Side note: Black was a very expensive dye. The Pilgrims would have thought that someone wearing black was putting on airs. Governor Bradford had "a Turkey red grograin suit, red waistcoat, tawny colored suit with silver buttons, a violet cloak of velvet lined with taffeta.")
The men who wrote the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were heavily influenced by Enlightenment philosophers who emphasized natural rights, understanding the world through science and questioning orthodoxy. Few expressed much religious fervor, except in the sense of worshiping god through the beauty of the natural world. Deists were distinctly not Christian. Deists believed that there was a Creator, but not one actively involved in the world, and that study of all religions and natural law would yield basic moral principles for all people.

A motion for ice cream is always in order.
I hope some good comes of all this, msbelle.
