Christians, how would you feel if Pagans got together and decided the US was a pagan nation?

And started trying to legislate Pagan beliefs into law?

Would you still argue in favor of teaching religious myths in public school, would you still argue that religious institutions should have ample sway over politics?

Update:

Or for that matter, if any non Christian religion did so?

    A good amount of them would probably try to kill them all and use the old testament to try to justify their intolerance.

    Considering there are hundreds of pagan religions, all with differing beliefs and practices, "trying to legislate Pagan beliefs into law" doesn't make any sense. What are you claiming to be "pagan beliefs" and how do they fit all pagans? (The only thing all pagans have in common is that they're not Christian, Jewish, or Muslim.)

    No matter how many Christians say that this is a Christian nation or how often they say it, it doesn't make it so. It was never intended to be. Most of our influential Founding Fathers, although they respected the rights of other religionists, held to deism and Freemasonry tenets rather than to Christianity.

    Instead of picking out another group of people with differing spiritual beliefs and mocking up an impossible scenario, how about we focus on the Constitution. After all, many of the arguments fall back to interpreting our constitutional rights. The Constitution forms a secular document, and nowhere does it appeal to God, Christianity, Jesus, or any supreme being.

    For goodness sake, if more Christians better understood the concept of separation of Church & State, they would realize that the wall of separation actually protects *their* religion too.

    There are already pagan beliefs into law.

    We never were, still are not, and never will be in favor of teaching religious myths in school.

    It is the duty of the parents to teach a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is only fair to teach creationism or intelligent design as a possible source of origins of life in our schools. Teaching only one thing and not mentioning it's arguments against it is pure brainwash and deceiving.

    As an American citizen, I'd be horrified if they were to take away any of our rights from the constitution period. It's sad that we're not all on the same page on that matter.

    For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 ESV)

    You are either for Jesus or against Him. There is no in between.

    God forgives. He can fill that empty void in your heart.

    Jesus loves you.

    It is not. Planned Parenthood is not Christian. Recognizing homosexuality is not Christian. A Christian has no country but represents and exemplifies the Almighty's Kingdom to come.

    The U.S. is a pagan nation. They have pretty much thrown God out of the equation in how things are run or accepted.

    they probably wouldn't know the difference there's so much paganism in mainstream christ-sanity

    No matter the focus of the nation, we are still God's, and we still follow Jesus and live His way of life and love.

    That would not happen, and you know and others know the US is based on Christian beliefs. No matter how much you try and deny it, it's true.
