99.9% of what people say in this forum actually matters

 

[Orsorum]

America's founding fathers were predominately Christian; America was founded exclusively/largely on Christian principles

I am NOT intimating that the Founding Fathers were athiests. Most of them were either Deists or Unitarians. I am saying that America, and her legal system, and her Constitution, were not written with a bent towards Christian majoritarianism or any sort of special treatment intended for Christians.

So .1% matters? I think you're being overly generous there

 

[Goosemaster]

Increasing salt intake in the heat is good. Poeple used to do it a long time ago, but they found out that increasing salt intake to stop dehydration can cause problems. (or so my brother says)

America's founding fathers were believers in God, but they had differing ideas about how God worked. I am glad that they believed in seperation of church and state. It has helped this country a lot. This is comming from someone who is a believer, but finds concerns with organized religion.

Most people believe that if you don't care at all you should say "I could care less", rather than "I couldn't care less."
