The world is mysterious. I don't claim to have the answers and I don't mind the various theological attempts to find truth via metaphor and narrative. But I do believe, in an explicitly secular way, that the crucial issue for both conservatives and dutiful citizens, is insuring that those who choose to worship certain stones don't throw them at those who don't. Not the recitation of the founding father's personal convictions.

Reading your article reminds us that there was a time when America had a core of believers that were strong enough to risk it all and to strive against much more difficult odds than even those against which we do so today. However, those of us who have remained silent must speak up and begin to make certain that the tide is changed. If we do not, we will have only ourselves to thank. It is an article like yours that helps awaken those of us who have indeed been sleeping and strengthen those of us who have been less vociferous than we ought to have been.

Thank you so much for blessing our Thanksgiving holiday with your perspective and what should be accepted as a challenge.

Take away our Christian way of life, take away our FREEDOM!

Thank you for this article!

It was only after we won our Independence that George Washington declared Thanksgiving a Day to give Thanks to our "Creator, the most Highest one." The one without whose backing and understanding of our endevors for Freedom we, as a Republic, would have most assuredly failed.

It was Aberahm Lincoln who set aside the third Thusday of November as a day of Giving Thanks to our God, our Creator, for this Nation of ours, this Republic, withour who's mighty guidence we would have been torn assunder.
