PERIL FROM WITHIN PART III: RELIGION

 

Inseparable in the First Amendment denying Congress the power to establish a national religion is the freedom and liberty to speak religiously by preaching, teaching, and prayer. Forces have been at work for years to twist the clear words of the First Amendment’s prohibition to Congress into preventing anyone who so desires to speak of God and Christ in the public arena. The ACLU and those grossly ignorant of the place of religion in this nation’s fabric, spout the phony doctrine of the separation of church and state and claim one belief is as good as another. Prior to the United States Supreme Court  using Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Baptist’s to wrongly rule on a religious issue and begin the pernicious doctrine, no such notion existed. No matter the facts against their arguments, the dolts continue to spew the doctrine as if they know something. Tragically, many believe to be true what those groups spout. 

Yet, courts continue to rule against Christians. Christians are arrested for speaking out against abortion and other behavior, such as homosexual conduct. States are passing laws against hate speech and Congress is contemplating expanding current law in the area of hate speech. It is becoming a prosecutable offense to protest any group that engages in aberrant behavior or activities that kill the unborn.

The prohibition of religion as it relates to God and Christ undermines the very foundation and fabric for society on which this nation was founded. Anyone who takes the time to seriously study the Federalist Papers and other voluminous works of the founding fathers, can’t help but form the idea that those men were honorable men who loved God and lived accordingly to the best of their ability. They practiced what they believed and that which they believed was the truths of the Bible. Those beliefs are part and parcel of the work they did to form this nation.

Common arguments are that Thomas Jefferson didn’t really believe in God and if he did, he was Deist who didn’t believe God ruled in the affairs of mankind. It is odd that Jefferson appealed to God in the Declaration with “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” He ends with “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” Strange that the man, who others claim didn’t believe in God, would write “with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence” if he didn’t believe that God was operative in their work.

Truth is difficult for the unbelievers and God deniers to accept. Belief in God and his way is the foundation upon which this nation rests. The founders didn’t worship false gods and believed that freedom of speech included the right to claim God as their source for guidance in all things, which includes the moral underpinning of the nation.

The forces of evil (there is no other name for it) demand that references to God be wiped out of our land. “In Sorting It Out, if they succeed in their ungodly and wicked agenda, then evil will be the force guiding us to sure destruction.
