Also, the church separation of church and state has been completely taken out of context.
It is not even written in the Constitution, but was taken from a letter written by an early President. The purpose was to prevent the establishment of a national religion...
Clearly, Biblical principals and acknowledgment of a Holy God are ingrained in America's History...
Gentlemen, – The affectionate sentiments of esteem and approbation which you are so good as to express towards me on behalf of the Danbury Baptist Association give me the highest satisfaction. . . . Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God; that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship; that the legislative powers of government reach actions only and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church and State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties. I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection and blessing of the common Father and Creator of man, and tender you for yourselves and your religious association assurances of my high respect and esteem.
I don't believe their intention was to remove God from all aspects concerning the state at all... they seemed to have a better grasp on the truth that we seem to have forgotten:
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people. Proverbs 14:34
momi... such an awesome post. Thank you for posting the truth. :Rose:
