Endless distortion over separation of Church and State - - It IS about God and His place in America
By Laurie Roth
We all know how we left the British and established America due to their controls. We rebelled against high taxation and the forcing of a government church upon us. We wanted and fought for freedom and won our freedom. Since the beginning of our God-inspired, miraculous birth as a country, we have heard from the leftists and anti-God crowd distortion and lies about our Christian roots and its involvement in government, displays, and the kind of speech that would be allowed.
The bottom line is that our Founding Fathers NEVER said nor wrote that we weren't a Christian nation, but quite the opposite. They just didn't want a forced national Christian church, like the "Church of England," but wanted a variety of choices for our expression of faith, meaning 99% Christianity, not Islam, contrived secularism, or "separatism."
Bibles were handed out by members of Congress, praying in Jesus name was the norm all over government, and Ten Commandments displays were common. These displays were presented in part to honor the God of the Holy Bible we serve and to remind the people of what was right and how to live our lives.
Bringing it current
Over the past several decades, we have seen those who won't acknowledge the God of the Holy Bible and who attack our Christian roots everywhere they can. Liberal and immoral organizations, always hiding behind "sound bite theatre" — like the ACLU, NOW, and Southern Poverty Law Center, just to name a few — have been obsessed with pushing endless lawsuits and media distortions. Their goal is to eradicate memorial crosses, free speech, the right to wear crosses, and Ten Commandment displays. Just like the global elitist thugs who hide behind created international crises to steal the wealth and work of free people, the anti-God and anti-Christianity groups demand to be God and take away all the rest of our rights to love, serve, and honor the real God. We don't get to have freedom of speech and expression, only them.
You must remember the ferocious attacks against Judge Roy Moore from Alabama who stood for the historical display of the Ten Commandments in his state. He was repeatedly attacked again and again to take down the display of the Ten Commandments in the Alabama judicial building. Moore stated that the judges who attacked him considered "obedience of a court order superior to all other concerns, even the suppression of belief in the sovereignty of God."
Now, we have Judge Michael Urbanski out of Virginia suggesting we cut the Ten Commandments down to six to appease the ACLU. This is in response to a lawsuit filed by a student at Narrows High School who was offended by the display.
Rather than a bratty kid being put in his place, millions of dollars of lawsuits are flying, and a judge is suggesting God's Ten Commandments be sliced nearly in half.
The attacks against God and Christianity are everywhere...schools, government, entertainment, the White House, Congress, the Senate, and our court system. I understand the source and fuel of these attacks: control, desire to act without interference from God, and old fashioned rebellion. What I don't understand, though, is why more Christians don't stand and fight.
It is time to get angry enough at the assaults on our 1st Amendment rights and faith in God, that we draw uncompromising lines in the sand. NO, NEVER, to courts and judges telling us not to wear a cross, pray, or share our faith. NO, NEVER, to Ten Commandments displays being cut up or destroyed to appease non-believers. NO, NEVER, to flipping of our God, shredding the Holy Bible, then kissing up to Sharia law in our society and courts.
Gays march and scream for rights; Islamics march and scream for rights; and illegal aliens march and scream for rights. Christians and conservatives who make up the backbone of this country had better start marching and screaming for your rights, or you will continue to lose them. Our country is almost gone. Are you planning to be part of the solution or problem? For more info join me: www.therothshow.com www.laurieroth2012.com
