Long before the Constitution, there was the New Testament. In it's pages you'll find a similar happening as you described above: the eroding of the essential, pure original message. One chip at a time...until it's no longer recognizable.

Truly, Jesus Christ is the ONLY person that ever lived who inspired such fervent and sustained attack. Mention His name specifically and state that no one can have a relationship with God unless they bow to Him and you'll WISH you were only dealing on the Conservative/Liberal front!

[Texas Eagle]

Amen, Bro !

Sorry, but you must be mistaken. The humanists know everything there is to know, both seen and unseen.

Well, sir, you never cease to surprise. Nice work.

Of course, as long as the atheist/libertarian wing continues wilfully to ignore the fact that their philosophy is built on Christian foundations, this article won't change any minds....

Not to mention that the supposedly libertarian glory days of the past were made possible because the population was largely made up of Christians whose beliefs required them to follow those rules.

For the past forty years the Liberals have been able to heavily influence legislation. The Liberals have managed to cram their beliefs down our throats because so many of us refuse to get involved.

In todays schools, it's OK to teach 6th grade students the importance of tolerance, Homosexual rights, same sex marriages, abortion rights and birth control. But if the teacher tries to teach about personal responsibilty or the common sense notion of being held accountable for your actions, he or she will most likely be suspended. Heaven forbid if the teacher mention GOD in the classroom, he or she will be terminated on the spot.

Look what our schools have become ever since GOD was thrown out of them!

Pretty much your standard reconstructionist argument. It avoids the legal realities however.

What I understood, and was taught, and read, was that they specified "A seperation of the POWERS of CHURCH and STATE".

Their intent was to keep the STATE from using the powers and influence of the CHURCH to manipulate/control the populace.

This was the reason they left ENGLAND and came to the Americas, was to set up a gov't like this, and not like ENGLAND's where the CHURCH and STATE were intimately linked, and the STATE declared you must practice the chosen religion.

You're right - we are no longer a Christian nation. We are not even a post-Christian nation. We live in an anti-Christian nation. But then, our heavenly Father told us there'd be days like this....

[satchmodog9]

You are the only person I have ever heard other than my father to outline that point. That perspective(truth) was actually taught in schools back in the 1950s. I was raised to beleive all the things you have written about. I wish you would submit that as an oped to a few hundred newspapers. Piss on the left and all they stand for. GODBLESSTHEUSA. No separation here.

Bump for later reading.

Excellent post!
Nothing pisses off the scumbag liberals more than the truth.
