Book review: Moral Minority

March 01st, 2007 | Category: Political Correctness, Politics, Religion

Moral Minority: Our Skeptical Founding Fathers

Moral Minority: Our Skeptical Founding Fathers is a book that will probably set off both the Christian fundamentalists and the fundamentalist left as it seeks to tell the story of what the founding fathers of the United States truly believed theistically – or whether they believed in God at all. What is even better is the author uses these men’s own words to explain their beliefs.

For those of you that are not from the U.S., let me explain the odd problem that the founding fathers present. You see, there are two groups that seem to want to adopt them – both actually rather wrong in their presumptions. One faction is the Christian fundies/evangelicals who continually try to convince us that the founding fathers were Christians bent on founding the U.S. as a Christian country. On the other hand, you have radical fundamentalist secularist/atheists who try to portray them as avid athiests who would have said so but didn’t, as they were in fear of persecution.

Hot Air

If the graphics seem somewhat Nintendoesque, there’s a reason for that. The game (and all the others on this site
) are optimized to work with the Nintendo Wii (though if you don’t have one, your mouse will do just fine). It’s not an official Nintendo site; the games for the most part are programmed by amateurs. If you can work with Flash and the WiiCade API, you, too, can upload your own efforts.

Warning: Sounds and music, both of which can be muted from the splash screen.
