Those on the Left, as well as those who are simply selfish, constantly harp on the idea that America was never founded on Christian principles, let alone established a 'Christian Nation.'
They are myopic and selective in their view of history. They assume the designator "Christian Nation" means we adopted some sort of Theocracy, when all it really means is we based our laws, government and social institutions on biblical principles.
Was it a Christian thing to just take land away from Native Americans, even though they insisted the land belonged to no one?
Was it a Christian thing to annex Texas, simply because there were so many non-Mexicans living there and the Mexican government was corrupt?
Was it a Christian thing to institute a National Income Tax? Or a National Social Security Administration? Or the Keynesian economic policy that allowed FDR to create the Works Project Administration? Or a Federal Education System, based on the ideas and goals of a Humanistic Psychologist who wanted to indoctrinate our children with anti-Christian, anti-God concepts? Or taking us off the gold standard so the value of money could be floated to meet whatever need might arise?
Was it a Christian thing to take this country to war without the approval of Congress, not once, but five (5) times -- conservatively speaking -- ? Or to create, out of thin air, all sorts of agencies and 'czars' to make sure the pet goals of one President or another might be met? Or to flaunt the laws of the land for political gain?
NO! But men are prone to wanting their own way and often find ways to circumvent law in order to accomplish it. The shame is on those who let them do it.
Those who seek to restore America to her biblical roots are not trying to establish a rigid Theocracy. We simply want to restore the values, principles and laws upon which this nation was built and by which she became the strongest and most productive nation the world has ever seen.
The forces of evil in this world want to destroy The Family, Our Children, The Moral Fiber of our citizens, Our Laws and our Economic Base. Just look at what gets funded or supported and what gets pushed to the side and ridiculed.
The Budget Negotiations of the last week, in Congress, spells it all out.
We can't touch Planned Parenthood -- the poster child for abortion
We can't touch Obamacare -- the Socialist Agenda
We can't touch The Welfare Program -- the Short-track to Guaranteed Poverty
We can't touch the EPA -- the Short-track to destruction of the Middle Class
And we can't touch the deficit -- the Short-track to Globalism
Even if it means the financial ruin of the entire country!
Politics and Religion. They are intertwined at the core level. It's not the State v. the Church, it's Evil v. Righteousness.
Abortion, Marriage, Liberty, Justice, Oppressive Government, Private Property, a Just Weight and Measure, National Security, Rights of every sort and more.
The principle enshrined in our Founding Documents had been preached in our churches for more than 100 years before the Liberty Bell rang. That's why there are so many references to God and to His Favor.
The Republican Leadership in Washington could take a Lesson!
