Phasing out God and Christianity

Bill of rightsLiberalism cannot exist with the existence of God. Belief in God represents another authority to compete with, so the Liberals have sought to remove God and especially Christianity from the public arena.

On June 17,1963, the Supreme Court of the United States kicked reverential Bible reading and prayer recitation out of the nation's public schools. The Madalyn Murray (O'Hair) Murray v. Curlett decision gave preferential standing to Atheism over Christianity. In Murray's petition they contended that the reading of a verse from the Holy Bible and recitation of the Lord's Prayer put a premium on belief in God over a non-belief in God. Here is a quote from that decision:

"The petition particularized the petitioners' atheistic beliefs and stated that the rule, as practiced, violated their rights "in that it threatens their religious liberty by placing a premium on belief as against non-belief and subjects their freedom of conscience to the rule of the majority; it pronounces belief in God as the source of all moral and spiritual values, equating these values with religious values, and thereby renders sinister, alien and suspect the beliefs and ideals of your Petitioners, promoting doubt and question of their morality, good citizenship and good faith."

More importantly, that Supreme Court decision rejected "majority rule" in favor of rule by edict from the Supreme Court. In one decision, the Supreme Court decided that the American people had no voice as to whether they could give thanks to God within their educational institutions.

The Liberals seized the moment with that decision to outlaw any invocations at school functions, the use of school facilities by neighborhood churches, and any references to God in the classroom.

This new definition of separation of Church and State gave impetus to other Liberal wedges against religion regarding the public display of the Ten Commandments, Nativity Scenes, and the rejection of the name Christmas, a national holiday.

To the extent of Liberal 'tinkering' with what is taught in our public schools, the quote by Patrick Henry is just one example. The "new" textbooks quote Henry's famous line, "give me liberty or give me death", but no longer include the full statement giving context to those words. The full quote, no longer permitted in the History textbooks leaves no doubt as to how the founding fathers felt about their faith.

Quote:
"An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle sir, is not of the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death."

The following year, 1776, Patrick Henry wrote this, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here."

With cool calculation, the Liberals (Democrats) have sought to not only revise history but to replace any authority that dares to compete against them. Their God is the Government (as long as they control it). In their elitist view, people are not competent enough to conduct their lives without the express permission from the government.

Freedom is at stake in this election. Do not be absorbed with the hoopla over the Presidential election. That is only a cape dangled in front of you much as the Matador uses on the bull for distraction. The Liberals do not want you to focus on the more important races for the Congress. The Democrats are more focused on winning a veto-proof majority in both houses of Congress than winning the Presidency. They could care less who is the President as long as they get that super majority in the Legislature. With a veto-proof majority, it does not matter who the President is. That super-majority will guarantee passage of the Liberal agenda without any opposition. That super majority does not have to be all Democrats. There are a lot of liberal Republicans who see the world the same as the Democrats and for political reasons will vote with the Democrats on a lot of issues.
