What is American about the bible, it's a Jewish text that was written by a bunch of bronze aged middle easterners.
I'm gonna assume you're white, European decent like most of us on this board. You tell me the true history of your European ancestors and how this Christian horseshit was foisted on them. It robbed us of our true culture and turned ourselves into a bunch of circumcised Zionist cock gobblers lining up licking the boots of the so called chosen people.
It's one thing if you took some pride in your own people, but to put that book as the center piece of your nation and pride is embarrassing.
Besides most of the founders were Deists, born from the Enlightenment. Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine the two most important founders in my opinion were Deists and obsessed with personal freedom and liberty, they despised Christianity, the father of the Revolution Paine especially in his book "Age of Reason" wrote scathing critique of the bible. The bottom line is Jefferson, Paine and Franklin were all vocal in their opposition to organized religion and since Deism is all about a watch maker that winds a clock and leaves its creation to itself, it has no hold, dogma or dictates on any of us and most importantly it has absolutely no scriptures to follow at all.
As for the flag, that is just a piece of cloth. You can whip people up into nationalistic frenzy, insist they say a pledge of allegiance, but at the end of the day the flag doesn't have a brain, eyes or ears, it doesn't care if you worship it or use it to wipe your ass.
As for guns those are important, but mostly to protect ourselves from the police and government......the government you seem to admire and yet many of us are wise enough to realize is tyrannical.
