The False Gods of Leftism

The left has created their very own “religion” that they seek government to implement, under threat of persecution.

EXCERPT:

“Thou shall have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.”
First two of the Ten Commandments

You often hear leftists rant on about the “separation of church and state,” with the goal being the separation of America’s Judeo-Christian faith heritage from itself. There can be no doubt that faith heritage played an integral part in the founding of our Constitutional Republic. What Thomas Jefferson really meant when he wrote that letter to the Danbury Baptist Convention of Connecticut was to calm any concerns that the Baptists had that the Presbyterians would be the official “religion” of America. Jefferson knew very well of the lesson from England of King Henry VIII. Who, when denied a divorce by the Catholic Church, created his very own religion and persecuted those who did not worship him as both Head of State and Head of Church. That even included his most trusted advisor, Thomas More, who was beheaded.

The whole concept of separation of church and state was intended to preclude the government in America, these United States, from ever creating a state-sponsored religion. It had nothing to do with preventing the “freedom of religion and the free exercise thereof.”

At the beginning of this missive are the first two of the Ten Commandments, truly the basis for law in Western civilization. When one sits in the “People’s House,” the US House of Representatives chamber, they will look up and see the faces of the great lawgivers of the world. The interesting thing is that all of them are side faces except for one. There is only one face that is centered and looks directly upon the Speaker of the House’s rostrum. There is only one face that looks upon the President of the United States when they deliver the State of the Union address. That face is the lawgiver who brought down those Ten Commandments, Moses.
