Here....let's give you another chance: You claimed that the sentence in the United States Constitution, i.e., "in the year of our Lord...." did not refer to Jesus Christ.
Do you still stand by your statement?
In every post, you pretend to be oblivious to the question you are being asked....With your skills, you could get a job as a seeing-eye person for a blind dog.
It's the English version of Anno Domini... and a designation used to label or number years used with the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
"It has often been seen on the Internet that to find God in the Constitution, all one has to do is read it, and see how often the Framers used the words "God," or "Creator," "Jesus," or "Lord." Except for one notable instance, however, none of these words ever appears in the Constitution, neither the original nor in any of the Amendments. The notable exception is found in the Signatory section, where the date is written thusly: "Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven". The use of the word "Lord" here is not a religious reference, however. This was a common way of expressing the date, in both religious and secular contexts."

You have an amazing ability, Underwear, to discover what has previously been discovered.
Great....everyone needs a hobby.
Of course you've obviated any point you may have thought you had with this....from the quote above:
"...Except for one notable instance,..."
And this: "The use of the word "Lord" here is not a religious reference, however."
Even you must realize how laughable this sentence is.
It reminds me of the line from the Wizard of Oz: 'pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.'
Keep up the good work.
