What a pity it is that so many
Americans are deceived. Our educational system has a long way to
go. The Constitution of the United States of America states, in
the first amendment:
"Religious establishment prohibited. Freedom of speech,
of the press, and right to petition."
"Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the
freedom of speech, or the press; or the right of the people peaceably
to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of
grievances."
Little did Congress know, but it seems to us that when they started passing laws, pertaining to the "war on poverty",
they indeed did form a national religion for some people. Those
people learned how to depend on the government, rather than God.
This concept holds true for subsidies, too.
But it never ceases to amaze us how so many people quote the failed
constitution, of the U. S. S. R., respecting that ideal of
"separation of church and state" clause, and think that we
are going to buy into their twisted thinking.
We really do not have a clue as to whether these people are ignorant,
stupid, stubborn, trying for an agenda of their own, or what. It
is really mystifying. But we take the first amendment at its
face value. Congress shall pass no laws that would have an
effect of establishing a national religion. But to ignore and
deny all religions, because of the idea of separation of church and
state, for the populace, has brought us to a turning point in our opinion.
