These founders did have such wonderful intelligence. We all need a reawakening of our founding and maybe we can receive wisdom and the definition of what this nation really was meant to be - a beacon of light to all, with no tyranny.

I'm descended from the dude who wrote much of the Constitution. And he was smart. And he thought first, developed beliefs later. Not a bad system after all.

When we know there is a greater purpose, a God, one bigger than us... it helps get the focus off ourselves and our little issues that divide. I'll certainly be interested to read that book. While I wouldn't support a government sanctioned church, it is a shame that our history often masks the part that faith played in the founding of our country.
