Intelligent enough to cast off the chains of religion. Our Constitution is secular and the product of the Enlightenment; not holy script (which retards and debilitates the mind). Quoting: harry 17531086 Evolved? Oh, really. Evolved into atheistic Communism or socialism, where hardship and despair are as great, if not far greater, than in places tied to Christianity? Evolved into broken-down libtardism, where just about all the slummiest of slums pray to the religion of libtardism? Don't confuse politics and religion as you have been brainwashed/conditioned to do so. Most atheists believe in complete freedom. In a secular government (like ours was meant to be); liberty trumps security and government interests. Communism = Judaism. Cheeks of the same A$$. |

Joe Chavanga User ID: 68862957 Vietnam 04/08/2015 11:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The thing that makes me LOL about all this religious crap on this thread is they IGNORE the very fact that brought the founding fathers to this land, it was 'religious' rule they were fleeing. Freedom FROM religion was as important to them as their Christianity. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25960618 The other hysterical thing here is that the very posters on this thread will turn and vote for republicans at every election, barr none! As though the very fact they are republican makes them 'righteous' in their mind. Actually if they look around these are the anti-Christians. What fact factory pumped you that load of bullshit? Government enforced religion is what they were fleeing from. They wanted to worship God according to their own conscience, not one dictated by law. All State constitutional religious freedom clauses state that the State cannot establish religion or support a particular religious sect, such as the Church of England being imposed as an official religion. Religion free from government. If you think they wanted God out of government, then why is it that in every State current constitution's preamble is a directly statement of a gratefulness to Almighty God or invoking God's favor? Some States even attribute all CIVIL and natural RIGHTS or LIBRTY as coming from God. The few States that do not have a preamble all at least acknowledge Almighty God, the Supreme Ruler, the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, our Creator, etc. in a religious freedom clause, except for New Hampshire which does at least refer to God. None of them refer to a God, ostensibly inferring a belief that there is only one God. Hell look at Vermont's Religious Freedom clause That all persons have a natural and unalienable right, to worship Almighty God, according to the dictates of their own consciences and understandings, as in their opinion shall be regulated by the word of God; and that no person ought to, or of right can be compelled to attend any religious worship, or erect or support any place of worship, or maintain any minister, contrary to the dictates of conscience, nor can any person be justly deprived or abridged of any civil right as a citizen, on account of religious sentiments, or peculiar mode of religious worship; and that no authority can, or ought to be vested in, or assumed by, any power whatever, that shall in any case interfere with, or in any manner control the rights of conscience, in the free exercise of religious worship. Nevertheless, every sect or denomination of Christians ought to observe the Sabbath or Lord's day, and keep up some sort of religious worship, which to them shall seem most agreeable to the revealed will of God. |

Actually, he will reign from the New Jerusalem, which is not the same thing. That is NOT true. The New Jerusalem doesn't come down from Heaven until AFTER the millennial reign of Christ on Earth. Revelation 20 1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 21 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. |

To me it is all bullshit. Literally. But that's another topic of discussion. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68862147 Let me say this though -- America was founded on Christian principals. There is no denying that those very principals made America the greatest country to ever exist and as America slowly loses her Christian principals, we can see the result -- this is a sinking ship, fast. Those who forget where they came from soon find out how fast their end comes. I'm not promoting atheism as that is a personal choice and I believe humans have not evolved far enough to accept the truth that there is no god, which is why we must maintain our Christian heritage. Wait ...that's a very arrogant statement. How do you know America was the best civilization to ever exist ? Did you live through all the other ones in human history ? Have you lived in any other country on Earth during these times ? America was founded 240 years ago. Enough said. There were civilizations that were and are thousands of years old. And what do you mean "enough said"? What do you mean by that? You see that face palm I inserted? That was meant for you. America was the greatest nation to ever exist.

IN order to Preserve said freedoms, from the Powers of the Pope--- NO private Law could be established as Public Law. If this had not been done--- The Pope simply declares, Catholic Law is Supreme on the Land and all "Institutions" of men are inferior to that power. The Pope and his Church were the reason this Nation had to have a "separation" of Church from State. An American of the United States has the Freedom to exercise his or hers own Conscience--- and conversely, does not have the power of Authority to impose that "Private Conscience" as Public Law; either in Courts, or by Legislation in the States, or the Federal government. Marxist horseshit was custom tailored to slip below the lines of resistance just like a Trojan horse--- where being an atheist, as opposed to a Deist, was touted as the superior, intellectual path to future utopia. TO impose ones private "Beliefs" on everyone else violates that principle as enshrouded--- freedom of religion as does its negation. The question of what GOD is has destroyed what God meant to ancient mankind. Secular bias is just as bad as religious bias, when it is being used to HARM,to COERCE and to force people to do or ACT against their own Natural Will and thus, their own Conscience. I defend the principles involved without agreeing whose version of what constitutes "reality" is factually or even morally correct. Then again, I have deep, insider knowledge from exploring those unknowns many men simply fear to tread---secular or religious--- that's the funny thing. MY observation is that both sides fear the Truth. Trying to Save man from the Folly of his own fears is one thing--trying to save him from his own evils is quite another. America is losing the battle on both fronts as people today are too fragmented as a society, to stand firm as One Nation by the convictions of their personal conscience. The truth is there to be seen and known, but it is not a fools errand and it is not a game. A spiritual war came to this planet and sadly enough mankind is but a Pawn in the larger drama. That which was hidden from the mind of Mankind---is the blind-spot his conscience must illuminate with those powers of Kindness, Mercy, Compassion and Forgiveness. Without these powers of the Heart--- mankind is doomed to a life of futility and suffering at the hands of masters far removed from his ordinary, mundane life. |
