Now it is time to revisit the removal of God from society in general and the idea that God cannot have a part on the operation of government in particular. In the very early years of the republic and for many years thereafter, the Bible was read daily in the schools. Denominational religion was not generally discussed, but the inculcation of God’s principles was made plain to the students. It can be rightly said that church and state cooperated in making a society that benefited everyone. There will be those who dispute that fact, but a research of history will reveal it is true.

However, when the Supreme Court began issuing unconstitutional edicts, it made it increasing difficult for God to be honored in the schools and that now has spread to society in general and government in particular. Those in government began to behave according to the laws and rules that Congress created and then the various bureaucracies were given latitude to make more rules. Thus, humanism has become the determining factor for government, if not in fact, a governmental religion.

With no moral guide lines outside of what humans decide, the republic is facing the behavior of a rogue government that knows no bounds. But it isn’t a rogue government per se; what is called a rogue government has a face, in fact many faces and the faces are both Democrat and Republicans. The faces are the man in the Oval office; the Vice-President; Secretary of State; majority leader in the Senate; the Speaker of the House; the Cabinet Secretaries; and all the minions in the various departments and agencies, too numerous to mention. They are the ones who worship their own power. They issue orders, edicts and make laws that may or may not be constitutional. But there is one constant that infects nearly all of them; they are loathe to include God in any manner or form to guide their governmental behavior.

By believing that God has no place in governmental affairs, the elected officials, their appointees and other employees have no guidelines outside of themselves. They have become much like the children of Israel who did what was right in each of their own eyes. In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes. (Judges 17:6) The republic has kicked out God so in effect there is no king. The office holders and the citizens are doing and demanding that things be done that aren’t of God. Those behaviors aren’t right by God’s standards, but they do not care. They are gods in their own right operating the god which has power, the federal government. The result is an ungodly government composed of ungodly people who lie, cheat steal and commit other acts opposite of the path that God wants all to trod. How different are they from the founders who revered God as they set up the republic.

One more item must be visited. At the end of the Declaration of Independence, there is a line that all should heed, especially those who operate the power of government. The sentence is at the end: 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. Relying on God, they pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor. It is submitted that the powers that be in every level of government are not relying on God; they have not pledged their lives or fortunes and have no sacred honor because they lie, steal, and otherwise behave in total opposition of God. Thus, they have created a system of ungodly government that will ultimately cause the destruction of the Republic of the United States. But there is one more participant in the destruction. It is the ungodly voters who elected them to office. The ungodly voters who place party over God are responsible.
