Maybe it's time for the truth

False. While the religious views of the American founding fathers were diverse, to say the least, most of them had one thing in common. They detested Christianity.

"The Christian god is a three headed monster, cruel, vengeful, and capricious. If one wishes to know more of this raging, three headed beast-like god, one only needs to look at the caliber of people who say they serve him. They are always of two classes: fools and hypocrites."

"I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature."

"Christianity...(has become) the most perverted system that ever shone on man. ...Rogueries, absurdities and untruths were perpetrated upon the teachings of Jesus by a large band of dupes and importers led by Paul, the first great corrupter of the teaching of Jesus."

I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between church and state.
All by Thomas Jefferson

"As I understand the Christian religion, it was, and is, a revelation. But how has it happened that millions of fables, tales, legends, have been blended with both Jewish and Christian revelation that have made them the most bloody religion that ever existed?"
John Adams

The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason.
Ben Franklin


"Strongly guarded as is the separation between Religion and Government in the Constitution of the United States, the danger of encroachment by Ecclesiastical Bodies, may be illustrated by precedents already furnished in their short history"
James Madison

"I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church."

Yes... look how poor the church is now...

it may have been started by the poor, but something went horrible wrong allong the way.

With great power comes gre.... oeh look gold shiney things

No, you are just a religious nut. Most of this money is squandered. While churches do help, like you said, I am willing to bet 90% of the money is squandered. I live in Detroit, and the churches there are ridiculous. All they do is hold their hand out, constantly. While these people who live in the ghetto that struggle to get by and steal for money and rob people, are willing to give the church money for some kind of "Salvation", which is just complete bullshit. Not to mention the Pastor has a fucking nice car, huge house, gold watch.. how the fuck? He's just a pastor. Embezzling these poor people's money. And don't be naive and think this shit doesn't happen everywhere.
