We live in a day where the
liberal agenda is to force secularization upon our culture. These are some of
the disingenuous measures they have employed to exploit their ideology:
FALSE ISSUE –
Separation of Church and state
Amendment I of
the Constitution of the United States of
America
simply states: “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of
religion…” To define this literally (and all legal/historical documents should
be interpreted literally), Congress is not allowed to establish (enact) a law
that would declare a religion or a sect of any religion to be the only religion recognized by the United
States of America – making the observance of any other religion illegal.
Nowhere does it
state or imply that “We the people” should eradicate any and all moral
influences derived from the Judeo-Christian traditions of our Founding Fathers.
To deny this is to be intellectually dishonest. The Declaration of Independence affirms their belief in the Creator:
“All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights”; and in the Supreme Judge of the world: “…appealing to the
Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions.”
The image of
Moses holding the Ten Commandments is at the center of the façade over the
entrance to the Supreme Court building. It’s rather interesting, don’t you
think, that just 78 years ago (1935) our government recognized that our code of
law has its foundation in Law of Moses and made certain to remind “We the
people” of this fact.
In 1957, the
official motto of the United States was adopted: In God We Trust (I suspect the “we” represents “We the people”).
This motto is on all of our currency to this day. It also appears in the fourth
stanza of the Star Spangled Banner.
In 1918, Irving
Berlin penned another American anthem, God
Bless America. Also in 1895 Katharine Lee Bates penned a poem that has
become known as America the Beautiful.
These songs have been sung by millions of “We the people,” and in each song
there is a mention of God – the God of the Bible. (I wonder if the liberal
secularists sing these songs and hold their noses when they come to the word
God.)
The tradition
and intentions of the Founding Fathers was to create a Federal government that allowed
all citizens to enjoy the liberty and freedoms of this great country; to
express their religious beliefs freely. But they did not intend for this great
country to become secularized.
