So this is my last post on this issue.
The founding of this country was not about religion it was about freedom, if you think that is a semantic difference then IMHO you don't get it. The founders saw the inherent threat religion was to freedom and developed a system to protect freedom from religion while still allowing people to practice their chosen beliefs. What I find that Christians today don't see is that religion only works if it's about an individuals relationship with God. Otherwise it is a form of government, one based on absolutes - which is antithetical to freedom.
Our founders were protesters, violent ones at that. They would think Kaepernick was doing exactly what the constitution asked him to do. The problem is people are insulted because he is not letting them overlook the real issues. I saw a story where some bar had a doormat that said "Lynch Kaepernick", that's what the problem really is TallTom.
