Freedom requires religion just as religion requires freedom. Freedom opens the windows of the soul so that man can discover his most profound beliefs and commune with God. Freedom and religion endure together, or perish alone.
Which is what all you nasty atheist, agnostics, and yes even you Buddhists, are gonna do when I'm president. Perish alone.
Religious tolerance would be a shallow principle indeed if it were reserved only for faiths with which we agree.
On the other hand, those of you who eschew faith in a supernatural sky daddy, you're screwed.
In recent years, the notion of the separation of church and state has been taken by some well beyond its original meaning. They seek to remove from the public domain any acknowledgment of God.
"If your religion is in the majority in your town or city, then by God you ought to be able to use the machinery of the state to ram your beliefs down the throats of others."
We should acknowledge the Creator as did the Founders - in ceremony and word. He should remain on our currency, in our pledge, in the teaching of our history
Which founders, exactly? Not Franklin, Jefferson, Payne, or even George Washington. When they spoke about God they were explicit in the private and personal source of that speech; they were not speaking as our Pastor In Chief. Our pledge and our currency don't mention god until much, much later than our founding. It's only been there for the past 70 years, not 221 years.
During the holiday season, nativity scenes and menorahs should be welcome in our public places.
Ah, that ought to make Bill O'Reilly happy. "I support the War on the War on Christmas."
Our greatness would not long endure without judges who respect the foundation of faith upon which our constitution rests.
"I have a litmus test for Supreme Court justices. They have to get Pat Robertson's OK."
