MYTH-Separation of Church & State-MYTH

Good evening conservatives, patriots and folks who hold sacred the Judeo-Christian values (CPJC's) that have and can continue to make the US a great country. This my first post on this website. Today's topic of discussion is the Constitution. A document written by godly men for a godly people to rule themselves in a manner that would cause each and every citizen more rights and freedoms than a citizenry had ever had before in the history of mankind.

The liberal world, supported by the liberal press, has generated a myth in this nation that has taken roots as a fact in the minds of the general populace. That myth is "separation of church and state". As directly quoted from the US Constitution, from the First Ten Amendments -the Bill of Rights-ratified effective Dec. 15, 1791: "Congress shall make no law respecting and establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . ."

Period. At the time the Constitution was written, the concern was to protect the church from the government, not visa versa.

Liberals thrive on two facts:

1.) The average American is too lazy to research a fact for themselves

2.) By using their brand of emotions and voice inflections, they can make anything seem

like a fact.

We, the CPJC's of the nation, need to point out to the general population that the idea of separation of church and state is not only a myth, but according to Deuteronomy chapter 28, will be one of several vehicles that have the potential to lead this nation to an unprecedented downfall.

Let me offer three statements (bolding by me for emphasis) from The Heritage Guide to the Constitution from the Heritage Foundation (see website link list) regarding the original intent of the Constitution vs. the "living document" fallacy:

1.) "But as Constitutional historian Charles Warren once noted, what is most important to remember is the 'however the Court may interpret the provisions of the Constitution, it is still the Constitution which is the law, not the decisions of the Court.'" - pg. 5, para. 4

2.) "Written constitutionalism implies that those who make, interpret, and enforce the law ought to be guided by the meaning of the United States Constitution-the supreme law of the land-as it was originally written. This view came to be seriously eroded over the course of the last century with the rise of the theory of the Constitution as a 'living document' with no fixed meaning, subject to changing interpretations according to the spirit of the times." - pg.13, para. 1

3.) "Originalism is championed for a number of fundamental reasons. First it comports with the nature of a constitution, which binds and limits any one generation from ruling according to the passion of the times. The Framers of the Constitution of 1787 knew that they were about, forming a frame of government for 'ourselves and our Posterity.' They did not understand 'We the people' to be merely an assemblage of individuals at any one point in time but a "people" as an association, indeed a number of overlapping associations, over the course of many generations, including our own. In the end, the Constitution of 1787 is a much a constitution for us as it was for the Founding generation. pg. 14, para 3.

And the people said, "Amen!"
