		<description><![CDATA[For a few days we&#8217;ve been discussing the faiths of the founding fathers. I&#8217;m still on that subject, but today&#8217;s post will probably upset the &#8220;other side&#8221;&#8211;those who have been with me so far. Even thought the leading founding fathers (Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, Madison) were not orthodox Christians, they were theists. I believe (based [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A person promoting revisionist history here recently declared that no honest person can deny that the U.S.&#8217;s founding fathers were Christians. I don&#8217;t know anyone who denies they (at least most of them) were formally Christians in the sense of being baptized members of nominally Christian churches. The issue is their real beliefs. Yesterday I [...]]]></description>

Neither one says Christians shouldn’t work for government, but things they do say about Christianity and government incline that way. Of course there are government jobs where [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I blogged here about Social Darwinism. My main point was that Social Darwinism is incompatible with Christianity. Somehow that launched some readers into a series of assumptions and comments based on them. They assumed that I was attacking capitalism. That&#8217;s instructive to me. Do some people interpret any criticism of Social Darwinism as criticism [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t have a definite answer to that although I tend to think Social Darwinism is incompatible with biblical Christianity. My point here, however, is simply that many American Christians seem to be able to embrace Social Darwinism while rejecting (often vehemently) biological Darwinism. I live in a social context strongly influenced by Christian fundamentalism. [...]]]></description>
