| History does not work against me and I repeat myself in hopes that people get the point I am making. It is true Isherwood that the founding fathers did not want to make this country a Christian nation. They wanted every religion to have freedom to worship in our country. However these people grew up with parents, grandparents, friends, and relatives that were all Christian. They grew up with a Christian sense of morality. These people may not be christian but you cannot dismiss the fact that their ethics were shaped around Christian epoch. They grew up with the Christian idea of right and wrong. They grew up knowing what was proper and what was absurd, according to the Judeo-Christian tradition. Europe's ethos was tempered by Judeo-Christian and classical belief systems. These ideas transfered to America. The ideals of America are Christian. Give me one bit of the constitution that defies the Christian ideals. It's perfectly fine if you don't think that America was not founded on Christianity. It's perfectly fine if you don't want mentions of God. However, I know that you will never be completely seperated from the church, because your sense of right and wrong, the laws you obey, and the founding of your nation has been tempered and influenced by Christianity. Go ahead and tell me that your moralities are not influenced by Christianity and that our laws have not been influenced by Christianity, however it is apparent to anyone that looks that it is.
Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have. Quote by Davy Crockett |
