    Thanks BB for picking up this thread. I had (thankfully) forgotten about it.

    The idea of baptists siding with the Pilgrims in a church-state discussion frightens me. The Bill of Rights was intended to protect us from the oppresive religious practices of folks like the Pilgrims and the Puritans.

    It is interesting that the Congregationalists did outgrow those views, and that the UCC is one of the more liberal mainline denominations.

    Fine with me to transfer the thread down to Politics Forum. Maybe PA Jim will see it & weigh in....he's the real expert on all of this and I defer to him! [​IMG]

    Non-Baptists were up here in the Baptist Only Forum anyway. Thus, we have the satanic / atheist plagarism. :eek:

    That makes sense... I will start a new thread in the theology section within the next day or so since there are some who want an explanation of why Baptists believe in separation of church and state.

    Thanks! [​IMG]

    It really belongs in the theology forum because the interpretation of the New Testament is at the root of it all.

    It interesting that you think the other guy was a non-Baptist just because he took the information from that site... You certainly had no problem locating the source and I assume you are a Baptist! [​IMG]
