OK, explain to me how it is possible to have a government without 
people. Then explain to me how it is possible to have a church without 
people.

No, I've lived my whole life in the U.S. and know nothing about its history.

The founding fathers also believed that only their class should be 
allowed to vote. And quite a few of them were Deists or Theists. They 
used their faith to justify the fact that they, the white, land-owning 
slavemasters, were superior. Fortunately we've evolved beyond such thinking.

Well, some of us have.

Oh, forget it. LOL
