WHY IS AMERICA TEARING ITSELF APART FROM WITHIN? DECEPTION BY LIBERALS AND BY SATAN, THAT IS WHY!

                Why is America being torn apart from within?  Is it racism, political abuse of power, immorality, sexual perversion, economic instability?  The answer is yes to all of these destructive forces, but it should be noted that these are all just the symptoms of the major cause of our internal destruction.  They are ALL symptoms of a nation that was founded by men who intended for that nation to operate and govern using as a foundation for ALL its laws, policies, and actions the Christian religion, but has strayed away from its intended heritage.  Not the Jewish, Islamist, Hindu, Buddhist, or any other non-Christian faith, but upon the principles of Christianity.  

            I do not ask or expect anyone to believe me, but all should believe the words of the founders themselves. For example:

           AMENDMENT ONE TO THE CONSTITUTION:  Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...".  
          The purpose of this Amendment was NOT to separate government from religion,

but to prevent the Federal Government from dictating to the individual states which Christian religion was the official legal religion of the nation.  This is stated explicitly by one of the first Supreme Court Justices, Associate Justice Joseph Story:

• The real object of the [First Amendment] was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity, but to exclude all rivalry among Christian sect”
•  “Probably, at the time of the adoption of The Constitution, and of the Amendment to it now under consideration, the general, If not the universal, sentiment in America was that Christianity ought to receive encouragement from  The State…An attempt to level all religions and to make it  a matter of state policy to hold all in utter Indifference would have created universal disapprobation [disapproval] if not universal indignation [anger].”

Our founders were a religious group of individuals, and all strongly felt that the principles of Christianity were essential to our nation becoming and remaining strong and independent.  Again, don’t believe me, read their own words:

• We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion….Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.  It is wholly inadequate to the government of any others” John Adams, 2^nd President of the United States
• Three points of doctrine, the belief of which, forms the foundation of all morality.  The first is the existence of a God; the second is the immorality of the human soul; and the third is a future state of rewards and punishments….Suppose it possible for a man to disbelieve either of these articles of faith and that man will have no conscience…the laws of man may bind him in chains or may put him to death, but they can never make him wise, virtuous, or happy.” John Q. Adams, 6^th President of the United States
• Religion and good morals are the only solid foundations of public liberty and happiness…..A general dissolution of the principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of American than the whole force of the common enemy….”  Samuel Adams, Signer of Declaration of Independence and organizer of the Boston Tea Party
• Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom.  As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.” Ben Franklin
• The practice of morality being necessary for the well-being of society, He [God] has taken care to impress its precepts so indelibly on our hearts that they shall not be effaced by the subtleties of our brain.  We all agree in the obligation of the moral precepts of Jesus and nowhere will they be found delivered in greater purity than in His discourses.”  Thomas Jefferson, 3^rd President of the United States and author of the Declaration of Independence
• “Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.  Purity of morals [is] the only sure foundation of public happiness in any country….Religion and morality are the essential pillars of civil society”  George Washington, 1^st President of the United States and Commander of the Army of the Republic which won our Independence

So, how did America go from being a nation with declared dependence upon the principles of Christianity as a foundation of our nation’s laws and government to what it is now, a nation whose government has done everything in its power to destroy Christianity as the foundation of our government, and to turn America into a godless agnostic, morally depraved nation?  We Americans have done it to ourselves by becoming an morally apathetic and uninvolved bunch of individuals more focused on material success, self-gratification, and in denial about our nation’s dependence upon the blessings and protections of an Almighty God for the protections of our liberties and independence.  We have become a nation who are convinced a big, nanny-state government, free from Christian guidelines and self-discipline, taking care of all our “needs” is what is best for all our people, a vision exactly the opposite of what the founders intended.

We have been deceived and blinded by Satan who has convinced over half of this nation that God either does not exist, or does not care about what happens.  He has convinced liberals and non-Christians that Christians are people who look down their noses at non-Christians; that Christians think they are better than everybody else, that Christian beliefs are no longer applicable, and that God will not send people to hell as long as they are “good” people, although the definition of a “good” person is undefined, or varies from person to person according to how that person views the world and their and others’ behavior.

America was strong because America WAS a Christian-based nation who understood that our freedom and our liberties and blessing were given to us by God because of our acknowledged reliance and dependence upon Him as our protector and sustainer.  Until it returns to that nation as envisioned by our founders, it will not be great again.
