You're right you didn't claim they were Christian exclusivly...just that they were Christian principels...and my point was they may be adopted by the Christians, Jews, Islamists, Buddist, or whomever, but they are just GOOD principels and need no further descriptors. Why does someone have to be a good Jew or Christian why can't they just be good... We (as a race) seem to have a propencity to want to label everything with far more than is required often to our own demise...Tiger Woods is'nt just a great golfer he's a great Black golfer...no he's just a damm good golfer PERIOD! No further distinction is required! To some "W" is a sh!ty Republican President...When "He's a Sh!ty president" would sufice! A Good President is good regardless of Dem or Rep. a good golfer is good regardless of race. a Good principel is good regardless of whether those whom adopt it think Christ is the savior or they think Toe Jam will save their sole!



I think, Rob, that we are in agreement here. My comparison was between the founders and those currently in vogue. In that context it was necessary to point out that these principles, (and yes, most can be claimed by many) are indeed true Christian principles, as opposed to the slide toward theocracy that seems to be taking place.
