You go Brian!

I happened to like that website, sappy as it is. It's a nice story. Apocryphal or not, it's STILL a nice story.

For the record, America, like it or not, is a Christian nation, founded on Christian and biblical principles (remember that bit about being "endowed by God with certain inalienable rights?). The establishment clause is about establishment of a STATE religion (which is why many of the early settlers left Europe) rather than a total divorce of religion from gov't, commerce, personal interaction etc.

For the record, no, I'm not Christian. And no, I'm not a Republican either.
