Religious foundation

This letter is in response to William Fleischaker's article "ACLU stands for Bill of Rights" (Globe, Jan. 23). Mr. Fleischaker, let us not forget that the basis of this nation's culture is the cohesiveness of Christianity's moral and religious foundation based upon God's laws and the Bible. The First Amendment never mentions "separation of church and state." The framers of the Constitution's main thrust was not to establish a national church like the Church of England with all of its complexities.

It was Hugo Black, (1886-1971) associate justice of the Supreme Court appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt, who first coined and used the expression "separation of church and state." Needless to say, the left wing anti-God ACLU and other groups hostile to religious freedom seized upon Black's anti-religious expression to sanitize or sterilize all public institutions from Christianity's religious message.

Once gain, let us repeat the diabolic, anti-God, anti-family objectives of the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union):

1. Legalized child pornography

2. Partial-birth abortion

3. Legalized drugs

4. Legalized prostitution

5. Mandatory sex education

6. Busing

7. Legalized polygamy

8. Tax-exempt status for Satanists

9. Unrestricted abortion

10. Publicly funded profane art

11. Adoption by homosexuals

12. Extended constitutional protection for enemy soldiers, while bearing arms.

With God's help, the ACLU will not prevail to destroy our Christian heritage and to promote intrinsically evil objectives upon our Christian society.

2. Well, it's a religion ain't it?

If her church is tax-exempt, it's only fair. :evilgrin:

3. Rita Crowell should do some research

if she thinks this is a true statement:
"It was Hugo Black, (1886-1971) associate justice of the Supreme Court appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt, who first coined and used the expression "separation of church and state." Needless to say, the left wing anti-God ACLU and other groups hostile to religious freedom seized upon Black's anti-religious expression to sanitize or sterilize all public institutions from Christianity's religious message."

Rita is an idiot. It was Thomas Jefferson who first used the phrase separation of church and state.



January 1, 1802

Gentlemen,

The affectionate sentiments of esteem and approbation which you are so good as to express towards me, on behalf of the Danbury Baptist Association, give me the highest satisfaction. My duties dictate a faithful and zealous pursuit of the interests of my constituents, and in proportion as they are persuaded of my fidelity to those duties, the discharge of them becomes more and more pleasing.

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for is faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church and State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.

I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection and blessing of the common Father and Creator of man, and tender you for yourselves and your religious association, assurances of my high respect and esteem.

Thomas Jefferson

My LTTE in response:
The Joplin Globe recently published a Letter to the Editor stating that the basis of this nation's culture is the cohesiveness of Christianity's moral and religious. The Treaty of Barbary states in Article 11, that “the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” This treaty was read aloud on the floor of the Senate, unanimously approved, and signed by John Adams in 1797.

The letter also stated that the ALCU was anti-God. A quick search online revealed that within the last year, the ACLU defended a Presbyterian church in Lincoln Nebraska from a forced eviction by the city; they defended the rights of two jurors who were removed from a trial; one for displaying religious clothing and one for having been a missionary. They fought to allow baptisms in a public park in Virginia. Despite being a frequent target of the religious right, the ACLU often uses their resources to defend people’s rights to practice their own religion.
