Time to End Anti-God Lawfare
American Thinker ^ | 23 Nov, 2024 | Fay Voshell

Posted on 11/23/2024 4:28:52 AM PST by MtnClimber

For many decades, the left in America has interpreted the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in a manner that is inherently hostile to religion, particularly to the Christian faith.

An example of the left’s adversarial interpretation of the separation of church and state is the recent decision by U.S. district judge John W. deGravelles, who has ruled that the Ten Commandments are not to be displayed in Louisiana’s public schools. He has declared the public display to be a coercive establishment of religion.

It is hard to overemphasize the importance of Judge deGravelles’s ruling, following as it does the multi-generational assault on Christianity as well as the other monotheistic faiths revering the Ten Commandments.

Historically, when and wherever the left holds the reins of power, the advocates of atheism will attack Christians, as Pope Pius XI noted in his 1937 encyclical concerning atheistic communism.

The ’30s saw the height of the Moscow show trials and the purges that eliminated or sent to gulags millions of Soviet citizens, many of them Orthodox Christians. Those years also saw the acceleration of materialistic atheism in Russian classrooms and an increase in anti-religious efforts in Russia as well as in other nations in which Bolshevism was nascent or ascendant.

As the pope noted, “this all too imminent danger ... is bolshevistic and atheistic Communism, which aims at upsetting the social order and at undermining the very foundations of Christian civilization.”

Communism always fails, but they are unburdened by what has been.

particularly to the Christian faith.

Let's see the ACLU try a little lawfare on the Muslims.

Their heads would be on stakes but pronto.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Both the Muslims and the statists see Christianity - in the US - as their enemy. There is no reason for the statists to take on the Muslims . . . yet.

I've said several times on this forum, that the Dhimms fall into three non-exclusive categories: Wannabe tyrants, freeloaders, and the stupid. Lots of stupid freeloaders think that "the rich" have enough money to provide a life of luxury for them. Lots of stupid wannabe tyrants think that they can deal with the Muslims once the Christians are gone. Lots of stupid stupid think that they won't have to pay for any of it.

One bit of good news is that the despicable, specifically anti-Christian BCE/CE evil is losing favor. Perhaps there are other bits of good news . . . in addition to Trump being re-elected (for the third time) of course.

For the left the only religion is leftism.

Call Congress and get the Trump DOJ alerted to this scam.

If you know who your representative is use the online contact form.
Clerk of the House maintains addresses and phone numbers of all House members.
Or call (202) 224-3121 for the U.S. House switchboard operator.
Mention state and zip to be connected.

That’s correct. They know all too well the Christians will just turn the other cheek.

And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us;
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly pow’rs, no thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth;
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.
