Did you know that separation of church and state is not part of the Constitution? Apparently, neither does the ACLU, liberals, or atheists. Contrary to what people believe, it is not law that the church be kept out of the government. If anything, the founding fathers did not wish to have the government meddling in church affairs, a fear founded in the disgusting state of affairs in Europe then and previously: the Inquisition, the quarreling among popes and kings, and etc.

          Our government was constructed in order to prevent kings from forcing religious beliefs, practices, etc. upon the people. However, the government clearly needs Christian influence. Thomas Jefferson said that our government needs the basis of Christianity; otherwise, it will fail. All of our founding fathers believed in God, and all believed that it was God’s divine will that America be founded a source of freedom – including that of religion.

          Since the beginning of the removal of God from the public, morality has slid rapidly. Any observer can clearly see this evidenced in society: shootings, terrorism, etc. Morals are being replaced by a “do what feels right” mentality; a dangerous, slippery slope. If there is no moral standard, anything, and everything, is acceptable. Homosexuality, for instance, is a complete rejection of any form of a standard. There might be other gross rebellions brewing in the future.

          All this in the name of “separation of church and state.” Is it worth sacrificing Christianity for the sake of “separation of church and state”? Is it worth ignoring God for the ability for twisted ideas of “freedom” to come to fruition? Is it right?

          How long will God show mercy to America? He is the reason America came into existence; He, whether people like it or not, is whom this nation was founded upon. Can a house without its foundation stand?
