Saying "America is not a Christian nation" kind of throws some cold water on the "people have souls" argument, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of references to soul in non-Christian contexts, like here and here. But my favorite is here.
ReplyDeleteI was aware that the soul is a concept in most religions, although it seems more important in Christianity. Sometimes I have trouble following your logic. You say we are not a Christian nation, but in points 7 and 10 you endorse concepts that the 82% of Americans that self-identify as Christian would attribute to their religion.
ReplyDeleteAs to point 10, I would argue you are free to live your life under the belief you are your brother's keeper, but you are also free to reject that concept. You state it as, what, a fact? On this evidence I would worry more about you imposing your religious beliefs on me than vice-versa.
