...the whole idea of America is supposed to be about keeping religion and government separate so that both will remain strong and protected. The Founders would be astonished to see how far we've drifted from that brilliant principle. They certainly wouldn't have understood what went on at the Saddleback Church last weekend...

John Adams:
“ The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principals of Christianity… I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.”
• “[July 4th] ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.”
–John Adams in a letter written to Abigail on the day the Declaration was approved by Congress

TE - I’m quoting what you said again - these “separation of church and state” leftists who twist it to their own ends need to have this hammered home - as does most of the public who’ve never read or studied the founding fathers and their true, stated beliefs.

Thanks for this!!!
