| I'm looking through his eyes when he sees Deists as "Christians!" and considering some muslims and buddhists as Christians? If you are going to broaden your mind that widely to the term Christian, the next logical step is to see if we can't apply it to basically all monotheists | ||||

| I agree with the Daily Kos author in that Ron Paul is a colorful figure..... Calling him Nuts is a little late and two dollars short.

Buddhism is a non-theistic religion. It does not preclude any sort of theism, though it does reject specific elements of various theistic religions.

Thomas Paine is probably the only Founder that anyone could possibly say was not a Christian.
