Americans United for Separation of Church and State

This country was created to be a place of religious freedom, away from oppression of a tyrant king. With this being said our Constitution was written with a "Bill of Rights" that in its First Amendment states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". Yes, this does not establish a state sponsored religion but what is does not do is prohibits the free excercise of religion in public places.

Contrary to mainstream liberal mantra but this country was founded by devoutly religious individuals and the country's laws were built on a foundation of Judeo-Christian beliefs and principles. The members of this organization and ones similar to it are the same people who want God out of our Pledge, off our money, completely out of our schools, and absolutely erradicated from the public square. Also these people want graves of our fallen soldiers and heroes whose tombstones are in the shape of a cross and national monuments that bare religious symbols to be torn down.

The truth behind the separation of church and state "clause" has been so twisted that it has lost its true meaning, that the state will not sponsor a particular religion. For some time there has been an all-out war against people who profess the Christian faith. We have been labeled by the mainstream media as: homophobes, hate-mongers, intolerant, bigoted, and judgemental. When in fact it was a conservative Christian Republican Congress that passed all of the civil rights legislation during the 1960's when every "Jim Crow" Democrat voted against it.

This organization and ones like it are setting a dangerous precedent when one day God forbid when being just a Christian would be against the law and people of this faith would be herded off to camps like Stalin's USSR and Hiltler's Riech. I find it morally irreprehensible that a portion of our society are so easily offended by the simple utterance of the name of God. It is a violation of the Great Commision that Jesus Christ said "All authority in Heaven and on Earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, The Son, and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Matthew 28:18-20.

In closing my father in-law is a member of this organization. I do not hold this against him for have the most upmost respect for him as a father, husband, and man of God.

This brings to my recollection something the Jesus Christ said "He who denies my name among men, I will deny their name to my Father".
