Our founding fathers were smart enough to understand the
fact that other religions have destroyed civilizations and that our religion
would be under attack in a free nation were all beliefs must be tolerated. Most
of them came from countries where, if they did not believe the same religion as
their King did they were persecuted and they have seen the other great
religions of the world almost destroy themselves trying to destroy democracies
and that’s the reason that they put in our Constitution, separation of church
and state, it is so that no other religion could take over our nation. When you
see the Bible not being read in schools any more, just think about the fact
that there are many schools today in our country that have a majority of other
religions living in that community and if we were allowing religion to be
taught in schools the minority of Christians would have to be learning their
religion. I for one believe that our laws were set up with Christian values in
mind and our founding fathers smarter than most of us, devise the most
intricate way of protecting those Christian laws and that was to separate
church and state, so that no other religious beliefs could take over our laws.
I also believe that changing these laws would weaken our ability
to keep the laws that we have that were made up of Christian values. I am a
tolerant man and my beliefs are my own and yes, I am prejudice for my religious
beliefs, but freedom is not about my beliefs it is about allowing you, yours
without sacrificing that freedom for both.
Many times I thank God for the intelligence and wisdom that
he gave a group of man that never totally agreed on the Constitution the
ability to write a way of keeping Christian laws into a Constitution that would
allow everyone the freedom of their religious beliefs. You may not like the
fact that atheists, Muslims and others have found ways to annoy us, for
example, suing to remove nativity scenes at Christmas time in front of courthouses,
but they can never attack our Christian laws unless we make it week by changing
the laws that separate church and state. I have prayed and argued with myself
for many years about how God has disappeared from our government but He hasn't. He is written into our Constitution with the very ink that makes the words of
our Constitution visible. So instead of asking God to understand why our
Constitution has forsaken him, I pray now to thank him for making it almost
impossible to take him out of our Constitution.
