First Amendment, Part One

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Ok, where is the statement we hear so much about? You know, the one that says there shall be a "separation of church and state." Don't see it do you? Surprise, it's not there. In my mind, the founding fathers never meant to take God out of our governement or our daily lives. It's nothing more than progressive assholes twisting the words of Thomas Jefferson who in 1802 sent a letter to the Danbury Baptists. In this letter He made clear that the purpose of the First Amendment was to establish a "wall of separation" between Church and State in order to protect individuals' right of conscience.

Again I ask, where does either of these two documents say that children are banned from praying in school, or that the school sports team can't say a prayer before the game, or even that the graduating class can't thank God before the comencement ceremony? The simple answer... it doesn't. It also doesn't say that a city can't display a Nativity Scene on the town green, or that the Country can't observe a "National Day of Prayer". I could go on forever giving instances where over sensitive idiots try to abolish God from our lives. But I think you get the picture.

It is my belief that our Founding Fathers simply didn't want the Government to dictate to the people what religion they must follow, if any. Remember, that was the shit we just got out of in England. Now it seem that some people will stop at nothing to remove God from every aspect of not only the Government, but people's lives. It seems they can't stand the fact that this Country was founded on Christian principles. They are a very small minority, and we should be able to shoo them away like a fly. However, they've gained the support of a very powerful organization called the ACLU. Now these people, with the help of their new friends, are using the court system to conduct their war against God. Why? I'm not sure, but I have a theory.


Try this on for size... Here is a group of people who are pissed off that God gave them a conscience. They don't want to have to deal with the guilt of their actions and don't want to think that there's a higher power who holds them accountable for it. For them it would be a great relief if there was no God, or at least reminded of it constantly. I know it sounds simple, but it's either that or they're just plain stupid.
