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.
