started his argument .... our Country was founded on Christian values... I nicely told him our Country was founded on the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.... some of the founding fathers were men of faith but believed in separation and Jesus would be abhorred by what was going on.... so he sent me all sorts of quotes from the Bible on how we need to follow the law... and I nicely reminded him that these quotes were not Jesus' but those of followers that came afterwards and they needed to keep people in line and Jesus' only law was Love "love thy neighbor as thyself"

well, ya just can't talk to some people
