Chuck Norris is out of his mind, and I mean that with all due respect
I hadn't realized Chuck Norris, the badass, butt-kickin good guy (who apparently wore black) is full-tilt member of the Christian Right. He wants a Bible curriculum in every public school in America.
Every. Public. School. In America.
He uses the completely discredited argument that "Our forefathers founded this country on Biblical principles" to push his point, and then makes it worse by adding, "...and they never intended the Bible to be removed from our schools."
What do you think, too many roundhouses to the head? I wonder, 'cause he seems a bit removed from reality.
Yes, there were certain "founding fathers" who argued to make ours a Christian nation and have an established religion, but they lost the argument. They made their case, and the majority said no, we should be a nation of secular laws with government removed from the religion business. That's why the Constitution reads as it does. That's a fundamental principle of the U.S. from the start on through to the present. It is intellectually dishonest to take the writings of a few, comparitively obscure founding fathers and say that they represent the feelings of the majority. It just isn't so.
But listen to Chuck make his case.
