DEAR EDITOR:
“Separation of Church and State” is one of the greatest misconceptions of present day society, exceeded only by the fraudulent misconception of evolution. Search as you may, there is not a word about “Separation of Church and State” in our U.S. Constitution. That phrase is the figment of a depraved legal mind, who happened to be a Supreme Court Justice.
The First Amendment states the following: “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Take note of the last phrase, “Prohibiting the free exercise thereof” (religion). It is a Constitutional right guaranteed by the First Amendment to include “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance. In addition, Judge Moore of the Alabama Supreme Court had the right, as do the citizens of Alabama, to keep the block granite Ten Commandments within the courtyard of their court building.
Those Ten Commandments carved in granite are a reminder of the source of our laws: The Natural Law given by Moses, elucidated by the Talmud, and codified by the British Jurist, Lord Blackstone, known as British Law.
British Law was heavily depended upon by our founding fathers in establishing our nation’s judicial system. This system, based upon Christian principles, has given we, the people in the United States, the greatest freedom and opportunity for self-development in the history of mankind. To quote Thomas Jefferson, “There cannot be a moral or ethical society without religion.”
With this in mind, I refer to Ms. Pampuch’s weekly writing in The Dispatch in which she recommends we keep religion out of government – nice thought!
Would I had a time machine that I could transport Ms. Pampuch back to the USSR of the mid-1930’s where she could be a comrade of Joseph Stalin in a government free of religion. There she could observe the mass murdering of millions of Kulaks because they refused collectivizing their farms. Or, perhaps a sojourn in China in the late 1940’s to observe the functioning of a government free of any religious restraints: She could observe the peasant executions, the starvings to death, the abortions, and the infanticides so common to that era – all in all eliminating 40 million human beings from this earth.
Ms. Pampuch had better think twice about keeping government free of religion. The security, the freedom, and the affluence she enjoys did not develop by biological evolution – it came based upon a foundation of Christianity. Christian morals, ethics, and natural laws given in the Ten Commandments. If you exclude religion (that’s Christianity) from your government, you do so to the eternal peril of yourself, your family, and society. Finally, I just love to quote Leo Tolstoy, the great Russian writer of the 19th century (War and Peace): “There is no hope for mankind until the return of Jesus Christ.” Amen!
