Canny the constitution references biblical principles, mostly pertaining to the teachings of Jesus, and not be somewhat influenced by it.
2/10 strawman pump it up
What principles?
So there's this thing, its called google. Its a great thing, amazing thing actually. And there's this thing, called reading, it works a lot to help you understand. I could explain it, but every tenant and belief of the constitution has relations with the good will of the Christian belief. Not my job to explain it, plus its baiting into an argument.
No one said or is incenuating there were "references" to the Bible or Christianity (by quote directly) in the Constitution, pertaining to the posted content. Which is what you are straw manning about.
You good?
How is what I said a straw man? It's a direct response. He will need to back up what he said or you will have to do it for him if you want to consider this settled. The Establishment Clause bans establishing a state religion. In light of that I think it's an exaggeration to say what Mr. "Rock Preacher" said there. So no, I'm not good with this attempt to frame our nation as built on the bible. He can say it but I can disagree with reason.
Because he didn't make a claim that the Constitution references "the bible or Christianity or any particular religion". You made a standalone claim irrelevant to the topic, intentionally, to straw man.
You could phrase your statement as a question, but that didn't happen.
