America is not a Christian nation

America claims to be a Christian country, but she isn't. She's an ancient Hebrew country, one who supports "eye for an eye" and the killing of "pagans" and "idol worshippers" for no other reason than "God said so." A justice system that teaches you to take pleasure at the suffering of the one who caused you pain. Not even modern Jews believe in that anymore.

Christ said "turn the other cheek." Christ allowed himself to receive capital punishment for a crime he didn't commit. When the rulers came to stone a woman caught in adultery in accordance to their law, Christ stopped them and said "let he who is without sin cast the first stone." He was the only sinless man there that day; and he said "neither do I condemn you--go, and sin no more." He taught us that the only way to heal, the only way to peace, is to forgive.

Now if America wants to be an ancient Jewish nation, that's perfectly okay with me. People have the freedom to be whatever they want to be. Just stop tarnishing the name of Jesus by claiming to be a Christian nation.
