Our founders were not saints or gods. And they were geniuses for acknowledging precisely that and the frailty of human societies in general. They were not trying to create utopia, but the best government under God within the limitations of our human nature. We do well to adhere to their warnings, adopt their libraries, and educate ourselves in the manner they themselves were educated.

And the Old Testament is a good place to start.

Yes, in this fallen world the Creator’s moral absolutes and laws are best for a people and a nation to adhere. They were smart enough to understand that. They were truly genius and practitioners of the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God!

We now reject that as a people and a nation in general.

“Our founders were not saints or gods.”

They were neither, for sure. But when realizing the intricacies and beauty of the Constitution, it seems that, as a group, they might have been Divinely inspired to a great extent.

None of this could have come together without God’s hand. We were/are so blessed in that regard.
