Who said anything about throwing money?
I understand that there has been a strong christian presence in this country from the get-go. I think this thread is more about a trend that i have recently noticed(probably should've been more clear about this), by which the leaders of our country have moved ever closer towards the words and ideologies of christian fundamentalism. If you accept the premise that christian fundamentalism is inherently closed minded and intolerant, which many do, than this trend's destructive possibilities are obvious. As it stands right now, i don't have ill will towards christians in general, just a certain portion of them who preach outwardly the message of christ, yet embrace the opposite of what christ apparently stood for.
