Awesome Website

This is an awesome web site. I came here as a christian college student researching the public policy arena of prayer in American schools and found a lot of very useful information. As one of a few christian students in a predominantlyl secualr school, it is refreshing to see a web page so dedicated to the Lord and christian principles in general. Keep up the good work.

Religious Liberty

History is a great teacher if we will be learners. The most powerful organizations are determined to unite to crush dissent and freedom of expression by any means peaceful or hawkish. To that end separation of church & state is best and safest avenue to securing the safety of individuals and nations. Who was really behind the geonicides of Bosnia & Rwanda? Consider the book by Michael de Semlyen - Dorchester House Publications. Get out the truth! Keep up the good work!

FREEMASONRY AND UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT


FREEMASONRY AND UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Senate/3616/freemasonry.html


THE ROLE of Freemasonry and individual Masons prior to and through the American Revolution was that of the destruction of the traditional social and political order based on an authoritarian philosophy and characterized by inequality and privilege. Speaking generally, in the ancient regime the church and state mutually supported each other in maintaining their respective places of predominance and privilege. Liberalism and liberals, which included Freemasonry and Masons, were declared to be traitorous by the state, and heretical and atheistic by the Church.

With the victorious end of the American Revolution, Masonic philosophy had, for the first time in history, an opportunity to play a constructive role in the erection of a political and social order.

Thomas Jefferson

Could Thomas Jefferson's words be the basis of a New Secular Order?

May it be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all,) the signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government.
That form which we have substituted, restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion. All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man.
The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of God.

These are grounds of hope for others. For ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished

educting the public

I've come to the conclusion that religion and authoritarianism are interconnected and inseparable. Both resist logic that doesn't fit in with their self-serving beliefs and denial of self. Logical argument with these folks is useless; they are allergic to any other than the word triggers that tip them off that they are among "friends". This is unfortunate, but not all is lost. Most people, if they are infected with this insidious disease of the mind are still capable of receiving and processing ideas, and can be prompted to think about ideas in new ways. All most of them need is exposure to them. This is why people such as yourself are always welcome to speak out about what you have taken the time to learn. Thank you. Salvation is in the wind.

recent court ruling against churches

I recently heard on the national radio broadcast that there was a court ruling against a church who had endorsed a political candidate. The church had it's not-4-profit tax exempt status removed because of it's endorsement.

Man is a spiritual being who only knows fulfillment when he is living in the spirit. When we engage in our daily tasks, worry about our finances, families, vacations, careers, we are filling our counscious with trivialities that nothing to do with the spirit causing as is very wide spread, chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, incompleteness, unhappiness, and leading many to suicide, drug use, extra-marital affairs, alcohol abuse, and unfortunately, experimenting in the occult. It is for this latter reason that prayer in schools is urgently needed. We need not question who is the right GOD, because GOD has already said, "Behold, the LORD thy GOD is ONE!" It would not give much meaning to this world if there was a possibility of multiple gods for that would only create confusion and not the remarkable unity, harmony, and wholeness that is so evident in our creation.

Northwest Ordinance

It seems to me that your Northwest Ordinance arguments would be strengthened if you cited Article I of the Ordinance, which guarantees religious freedom, and if you more carefully document the Jeffersonian origins of the Ordinance, and Madison's efforts to be sure that it was not used to promote religion.

Rev. Roger Williams


I may merely have over looked it, but if not, I think you should include a section on the Rev. Roger Williams who was the first European on this continent to promote the concept of the separation of church and state in the 1630's. He was expelled from Massachusettes for his antitheocratic position and went on to found Rhode Island making it possible for the Baptists to establish themselves in the New World. I think a number of the Baptists here in the South could use a reminder of that.

Vouchers

I am in favor of school vouchers both as a means of bringing the private sector into education and also motivating parental interest by requiring that they deal with choosing a school for each child. I am also 100% in favor of church / state separation. I support the ACLU and others that fight voucher programs that ignore the separation. Are there any programs that call for only secular vouchers? What would such a program look like? How drastically would most religiously oriented private schools have to change their structure and content in order to qualify for this type of program?

I feel that progress in this area might be possible because asking these questions calls the bluff of two polarized groups: the religious right and Catholics that argue for the efficiency of private education but are really only fully interested in funding religious education, and the educational establishment that loves separation but is mostly concerned with protecting unionized teaching

The Great Experiment

The separation of church and state as set forth in our constitution was the basis for a great experiment, even if the founding fathers didn't realize it's broader consequences. Certainly there was religious persecution at home and abroad in the "homeland" even as it was written, but the goal of religious freedom became one of the pillars on which the foundation was built.
There are those among us today who would still insist that we are a Christian nation without observing the grief and chaos brought on by those nations who insist they are Catholic or Jewish or Muslim or Hindu. I am one who believes that the camel follows the camel's head into the tent; that the secular activities of government should not be influenced by any particular interpretation of a personal deity and that the wall netween church policies and state activities should remain high. Too many people believe in freedom of speech and religion for everyone who agrees with them.

There IS NO "Seperation Of Church And State"

The U.S.Constitution, if it were applied today, protects individual Rights to Religion And Moral Expression.

However, Activist Federal Judges And Their Anti-Christian Affiliates Have Imposed, On America, Freedom FROM Biblical Christianity Rather Than Freedom To Express Christianity WITHOUT Government Financed Supression and/or Litigation.

America Was Constructed Upon Biblical Precepts Which Is Why The U.S. Federal Gov. Prays Before Session, Swears On The BIBLE, Prints "In God We Trust" on Both Paper And Coin Money, Formerly Pleged Alligence To the AMERICAN Flag, And Has Posted The 10 Commandments Above The U.S. Supreme Court Bench.

There Is NO "Seperation Of Church & State" Clause In The U.S. Constitution!

But There Is A Clause That Reads "...nor abridging the FREEDOM to worship thereof..."

Pledge Of Allegiance

First visit to site and it's bookmarked. Before I have an opinion I'll review this site. However, I couldn't find any history of the addition of the word "GOD" to the Pledge Of Allegiance. I discovered this addition when I volunteered in public school. In fact, I did not know my own children born 51/53/55 also were taught the Pledge
WITH the word GOD included until about 4 years ago when I started this voluntary work. I thought this was unConstituitonal. AND why isn't there a fuss about this along with the fuss about the Ten Commandments. Actually, you could skip the first 3 commandments and still use the other 7. You might find out that Clinton didn't commit adultery according to the 7 Commandments.

"SEPARATION OF CHURCH & STATE" A COMMUNIST DOCTRINE

The Doctrine of "Separation of Church & State" is a Communist doctrine-NOT found in any State or the U.S. Federal Constitutions, NOT found in any American Founding Period document or letter, NOT found in the words of ANY American Founding Father during America's Founding period. In fact, the place in which the phrase is found - a letter to a Church by President Thomas Jefferson in the early 1800's - is part of a letter written by Jefferson to assure just the opposite! (The letter should be read in its entirety to understand Jefferson's meaning.

HOWEVER, the doctrine of "SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE" IS found in the Constitution of the United Soviet Socialist Republic (1922-1991): "Article 124: In order to ensure to citizens freedom of conscience, the church in the U.S.S.R. is separated from the State, and the school from the church."

WHY DO YOU WANT AMERICA TO BE COMMUNIST?

WHY?
WHY DO YOU WANT AMERICA TO BE COMMUNIST LIKE THE U.S.S.R.? THERE IS NO SUCH WORDING OR DOCTRINE IN ANY AMERICAN FOUNDING PERIOD RECORDS. THE POST WORLD WAR II AMERICAN SUPREME COURT ARTIFICIALLY INVENTED THIS DOCTRINE OF "SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE."

THIS DOCTRINE IS FOUND, HOWEVER, IN THE CONSTITUTION OF THE U.S.S.R.:
THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS OF 1922:
ARTICLE 124: "In order to ensure to citizens freedom of conscience, the churh in the U.S.S.R. is separated from the State, and the school from the church."
ARTICLE 142: "Breach of laws governing the separation of church from state and of education from the church: Any breach of the laws governing the separation of the church from the state and of education from the church is punishable by corrective labor for a maximum term of one year or a fine of 50 rubles."

WHY? WHY ARE YOU TAKEN IN BY THIS ALIEN COMMUNIST DOCTRINE? WH
