The American Freedom Network

Another Example of Stupid Interpretation

Here we can see the really stupid attitude anti-theistic people have towards the practice of faith.  Reading this, combined with the rather constant ACLU (American Communist Licentiousness Union) drumbeat against any practice of faith in schools, courtrooms, legislatures etc. makes us wonder if they ever read an iota of American History.  Here is the most illustrative quote in the article; “There is a mistaken notion if you allow equal access to a religious group, you’re violating the Constitution.”  “Nor prohibiting the FREE EXERCISE thereof” is a challenging concept to the Anti-God crowd.

Unless they rely on the “living constitution” fallacy, they can’t make an argument that is constitutional.  Do they truly think the American Founders intended that faith practices be excluded from ANY public facility or gathering?  Many people do understand the first amendment.

How do you suppose the government and Chief Executives intellectually justified national prayer proclamations?  To coerce others into praying or participating in faith practices would be wrong.  To prohibit citizens, REGARDLESS of their office or role from practicing or participating is EQUALLY WRONG.  Are the anti-religious, anti-theist or anti-God people afraid that they’ll be infected by God’s love?  That they’ll be forced to proclaim faith?  Well a true, honest proclamation of faith can’t be coerced and we have the first amendment to assure that.  As a recent book points out, fairly and rightly, “You can lead and Atheist to evidence but you can’t make him think“.

Someone write and tell us the harm, actual damages, harm done by practices of faith in the public square.  Practicing faith doesn’t “establish religion”.  Endorsement of faith practices doesn’t “establish religion”.  The establishment of religion would be the government’s declaration of a National State Church subsidized by taxpayers dollars.  That is all it is.  That can’t happen, thank God, because of the U.S. Constitution put in place by predominantly Christian men of deep abiding faith.  Freedom of Religion doesn’t mean Freedom from Religion.  Never has, never will.
