Was God Really Supposed to be Separate from State?



I understand that lately I have been on a "religion" kick, but believe me it wasn't the plan. Unfortunately with all of the "anti-religious" sentiment that I have found with the various people who apparently do this for a living, it's been a day after day battle and even when you present them with irrefutable proof of America's Christian heritage and traditions, they keep telling you how stupid you are. Okay so I have proof and am stupid for providing the truth. That sure makes sense to me.




While those again the Christian religion in particular have loud voices, they cannot succeed if incorrect, but those loud voices are drowning out the tolerant Christian types and I really believe that it's time for Christians step up and fight back.




Your Pastor can't do it, nor can he even tell you about anti-religious legislation and issues because according to one source I found, he would be breaking the law.




Is there, or should there be a total separation of Church and State? Liberals think so because they consider the State to be God, but others disagree. Being a native of New Jersey, pay attention to the Preamble in it's Constitution and ask yourself how else it would be possible for such a small State to be so blessed with industry, invention and innovation?




"Those people who will not be governed by God
will be ruled by tyrants."                                                                              -- William Penn




America's Founding Fathers did not intend for there to be a separation of God and
state, as shown by the fact that all 50 states acknowledge God in their own
