Related: About this forumTYT: God Wrote The Constitution And Created America?!
*Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) urged Americans to realize that God "wrote the Constitution" and predicted an upcoming "awakening" during an interview on John Hagee Ministries' Global Evangelism Television network on Wednesday.
"I think we got off the track when we allowed our government to become a secular government," DeLay told host Matthew Hagee, the executive pastor of the Texas Cornerstone Church. "[W]e stopped realizing that God created this nation, that he wrote the Constitution, that it's based on biblical principles."
DeLay, who was convicted of money laundering and conspiracy charges before a Texas appeals court overturned the conviction in 2013, said that he has been trying to lead members of the House to Bible study...* What do atheists think about all this? Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola (host, TYT University and Common Room), Ben Mankiewicz (co-host, What The Flick?! and TYT Sports), and Richard Eskow (Senior Fellow, Campaign For America's Future) break it down on The Young Turks.

Our founding father who art in Philadelphia, give us this day our secular nation and establish our Rights, just as we file suit against those who deny them, and lead us not into theocracy, but deliver us from oppression, amen.

...is that just the standard charlatan practice of knowing what your marks want to hear and feeding it to them? Or does he believe his own advertising?
