Happy 4th of July to Everyone! Our Independence is 230 years old!! Let me take a moment to dispel a myth that is in our Country. That myth is the so called Separation of Church and State. The 1st Amendment says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." I am not a judge or lawyer and have no legal interpretation background. However, our Constitution was written at a 7th grade reading level so everyone could understand it 230 years ago. I find it funny that it takes the Supreme court to rule how to interpret it. Seems our judges lack an education as no where in our founding documents does anything say "Separation of Church and State". The 1st Amendment says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." Congress hasn't done anything but our secular judges have. In fact, the secular worldview that our judges hold is a religion itself. So, it's okay for them to uphold their worldly beliefs and step on my Christian beliefs at the same time. Many churches hold the view that the separation of Church and State should be upheld but not the separation of God and Government. Whatever! It's the same thing. Here is the fact of the Myth. The truth can be found in ONE NATION under man? THE WORLDVIEW WAR BETWEEN CHRISTIANS AND THE SECULAR LEFT by Brannon Howse. Most Americans believe the term "separation of church and state" is found in the U.S. Constitution, but it is not. If you're looking for a constitutional source for the idea, however, you will find it in the constitution of the former Soviet Union: "In order to ensure citizens freedom of conscience, the church in the U.S.S.R. is separated from the State, and the school from the church. Freedom of religious worship and freedom of anti-religious propaganda is recognized for all citizens." (Soviet Union Constitution, Article 124) Consistent with the intentions of those who framed the Soviet constitution, today's secular humanist liberals use the concept to enforce the belief that the religion of God should have no part in American civil government, policy, or laws at any level-local, state, or federal. But what is the origin and true intent of the phrase "separation of church and state" here in the United States of America? It originated in a letter written by Thomas Jefferson on New Year's Day 1802, to the Danbury Baptist Association. The Baptists had shared with Jefferson their fear that the government might establish a state church. In his letter, Jefferson reassured the group of clergyman that the First Amendment prohibits the U.S. Congress from establishing a state church. To clarify the intent, Jefferson declared that a wall of separation between church and state should be maintained in order to keep the government from interfering with the free exercise of religion: "I contemplate with solemn reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise,' thus building a wall of separation of Church and State." (Thomas Jefferson, letter to Danbury Baptist Association) In other words, the law is intended to place restrictions on the government, not upon the people! It is disheartening to note that in 1947, and on numerous occasions thereafter, the U.S. Supreme Court took the phrase "separation of church and state" from Thomas Jefferson's letter and (shamelessly!) inverted the intendend meaning of the phrase. As a result, Thomas Jefferson is now inaccurately perceived as an aggressive deist who wanted a secular America and who wanted to "keep the church in its place." Both ideas are gross misrepresentations of the truth. Yes, it is disheartening!! Thomas Jefferson penned our Declaration of Independence. Read it yourself! Does it sound like his worldview was to separate the church from the state? I think not! Our secular judges have wrongly interpreted our Constitution. Today we have an attack against Christians in our Country. The attack stops on my watch. I declare today to restore our Country to the way it was meant by our founding fathers by using the same court system and the same secular judges to return to our Godly founding documents to interept the law. Our judges are using International law to interpret American law. They are throwing the Constitution out as if it doesn't exist. Write your Congress legislature to fight this battle against the secular worldview in our country. Then go out and vote and put the Godly candidates in office. Have a Happy Independence Day! God bless you all!
