That's funny because here you said they did. Your post: Why did congress institute religious coercion during war-time? Maybe because they knew it works
Unlike some, I don't see Free Masons as boogie men.
Since it's based on the occult, you should. But I'm not surprised that you don't.
America is about FREEDOM.
America was also about God. This is a Christian nation. Not a Freemason one.
I said they DID use it - despite being inconsistent with the ideals they advocated.Ideals they advocated by codifying them in the Virginia Act for Religious Freedom and the 1st Amendment.Inconsistent? Yes - Some men in that same congress also wanted George Washington to be King. The road to our FREE Republic was a great compromise.
Occult? What does that word mean?Oculus : Sight
Cult : HiddenOccult - Hidden from Sight.
Yes, most men conspiring revolution WOULD want to keep their designs hidden from the sight of those presently enjoying a tyranny over them. It goes along with keeping one's head in place when those in power would coercively, permanently, remove it.The Occult? Pfft. Maybe it's YOU who need to lay off reading Dan Brown's misdirecting garbage.The precise geographic relationship between the Jefferson Memorial, the WH, and Lodge 33 is not hidden - it is there in plain sight for anyone to see. History is harder to revise when it's written in Stone.Perhaps it is the religionists who manufacture The Occult - by keeping out of sight the graceful gift of reconciliation which the Creator intended every one of His created INDIVIDUALS to have.Despite how well it might sell to the sheeple, the "christian" music I hear on the radio does NOT articulate the Gospel. It is misdirection."No Popa" - no POPE; no Indulgence peddling Eunuchs or religionist-governmental hierarchy is required to effect that which God has made - The plan for reconciliation which, much to the chagrin of the money changers, the Architect of the Universe has put into place - all without, and even despite, human "help".
It was a Nation of many Christians; but never intended to be a Christian Theocracy.The founders recognized that Faith grows better from the perception of self-evident Truth, than from the end of a master's whip.
