Lately there has been much controversy over the role of
religion in government. The 10 Commandments have been forcefully removed from courthouses and schoolrooms across the
country. Teachers aren’t allowed to lead children in proper prayer. Even observing holidays such as Christmas
and Easter has been banned in public places. After much deliberation, I must declare that this is wrong.
Our country was founded in the belief of God. God
is in the Constitution. “In God We Trust” is our country’s motto for Heaven’s sake.
Just look at any coin. How, then, can our so-called legislators eliminate God from our country?
Our forefathers, Adams and Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, and Payne, just to name a few, intended for God to be part
of our government, part of our schools, and part of the every day life of everyone who calls himself an American.
How dare we go against the wishes of these great men!
However, it has been brought to my attention that there are those out there who believe our Founding Fathers may
not have believed in the same religion as me. In fact, it has been alleged that their idea of god isn’t
even the same God that I find in my Holy Bible. These great men, our forefathers, have been accused of
being deists. According to those people that want to tarnish the names of these great white men,
deists don’t believe in the Bible at all. In fact, they don’t believe in any religious
text whatsoever. These naysayers go on to spout that the only way truly to know God is through observing
nature and, as hard as this may be to believe, with rational thought! If we were to follow such
nonsense, why, there is no telling where it would stop. Why, it could lead to openly teaching evolution
to our children under the guise of public education! There are even high school textbooks, books being
used to teach our precious children, that teach that these great men, Jefferson, Adams, and Washington -- the fathers of our
country -- were deists. And anybody who has a computer can find this nonsense on the Internet.
School children are even allowed to access these blasphemous cites while at school!
This cannot be allowed! We should never let
history stand in the way of what the truth ought to be.
Therefore,
I propose to remove all references of such nonsense from not just any textbook that we allow to be used in the classroom,
but any book that is allowed in the schoolhouse whatsoever. Libraries should be a safe haven from these
extraneous ideas. But we should not stop there; these atheistic references should be banned from
every book everywhere. Furthermore, this Internet thing needs to be stopped. We cannot
allow the free access of such pernicious information in our society. If our children are allowed to read
such nonsense, what is to stop them from believing it?
Before
it’s too late, we need for our children to know that when our forefathers were referring to God, they were referring
to Jesus. Not Muhammad. Not Buddha. Not any of those other wacko
beliefs that would have you believe that the Big Bang, evolution, and a Copernican universe are real. But
to believe in Jesus. The Jesus that you can find every Sunday morning at the 1st Pentecostal
Freewill Baptist Tabernacle Church of the Sacred Blood of Christ, Which Was Spilt for You, Sinner. Save
me a seat on the front row.
