Comments on: The ACLU’s Double Standards On Church And State http://www.stoptheaclu.com/2006/05/22/the-aclus-double-standards-on-church-and-state/ Beating Them With Their Own Sickle And Hammer Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:23:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: gregjaye http://www.stoptheaclu.com/2006/05/22/the-aclus-double-standards-on-church-and-state/comment-page-1/#comment-50971 gregjaye Wed, 24 May 2006 11:01:24 +0000 http://stoptheaclu.dreamhosters.com/archives/2006/05/22/the-aclus-double-standards-on-church-and-state/#comment-50971 The United States of America has been blessed by God more than any nation ever. We have done great good during most of its existence. However, I do not think we have been doing so well lately since we have turned our backs on God, Jesus Christ and adherence to moral absolutes found in the scripture. We remove God from our schools inserting instead the religion of secular humanism, which worships man as god. We worship the creature and not the Creator. We are trying to abolish all vestiges of the true meaning and celebration of Christmas and Easter. We promote pornography, perversion and profanity on our broadcast airwaves, yet deny the mere mention of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in any venue except church. We call this progress. I call this regression, de-evolution. We call the truth a lie and we call evil good. I believe that if the founders of this nation were to return en masse today what they would find would shock them and cause them to start another revolution. Maybe they would change the words to the song and sing . . . (to the tune of Melanie Safka’s Look What They've Done to My Song) Look what they've done to my country, Lord Look what the judges have done to my country Well they’ve taken it so far left its almost gone And it's turning out all wrong, Lord Look what they've done to my country Enough, let’s let us wake up and strengthen the things that remain … The United States of America has been blessed by God more than any nation ever.

Look what they’ve done to my country, Lord
Look what the judges have done to my country
Well they’ve taken it so far left its almost gone
And it’s turning out all wrong, Lord
Look what they’ve done to my country

Enough, let’s let us wake up and strengthen the things that remain …

I think from now on whenever somebody applies any sort of derogatory term to me I'll donate $20 to the ACLU in that person's name. You really don't see the potential for abuse in the interpretation of the Establishment Clause that argues that everything short of naming Christianity as the nation's official religion is acceptable? Both religion and government mean a hell of a lot more when they're kept in their own spheres than when they're awkwardly mashed together just to prove some kind of point.

But getting back to the topic, teaching <i>about</i> a religion as part of a culture or in a historical perspective isn't a problem as far as I'm concerned. Christianity, Judaism, Islam, whatever it is. When I was in high school (a public school), we spent a considerable amount of time studying the Bible as part of an English Lit class.

It wasn't until college that I was really exposed to other cultures, but I wish I had had the opportunity earlier in life. The line that needs to be drawn is between education and endorsement. It's definitely possible to teach about something without endorsing it, but that same can't be said for prayer.

Parents suggested this idea as a way to avoid offending anyone. Of course, that is still a sad statement on how brainwashed parents are today. God forbid we offend anyone.
