Seperation, what seperation?

Lots of Americans get their knickers in a twist - if you'll pardon the earthy English expression - over the subject of the separation of religion and government. Now, the idea of not allowing the state to impose one religious doctrine over another, thereby permitting any individual to hold fast to his own faith or atheism, is admirable. There is far too much state intervention these days as it is. All that being said, to deny the Christian roots on which the United States of America were founded is quite something else.

Let me make it clear that I am not saying that non-Christians are bereft of virtue. That would be absurd. What I am saying is that the founders were well aware of the potential destructive consequences when man is exposed to the power f civil government. They understood that virtue, and liberty are inseparably united, and that liberty cannot long be preserved in the absence of virtue among the people and their representatives. Christianity's part in the foundation of the United States of America is painstakingly assembled and explained in the Reverend Benjamin F. Morris’ magnum opus, the Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States.

I point this out because the anti-Christianity forces at large today are self evident. Believe me, I am no Holy Roller as we used to say, but I do detest the forces that are turning this country into something unrecognizable from that envisioned by the founders.

'Nuff said.
