Stained glass at St John the Baptist's Anglican Church http://www.stjohnsashfield.org.au, Ashfield, New South Wales. Illustrates Jesus' description of himself "I am the Good Shepherd" (from the Gospel of John, chapter 10, verse 11). This version of the image shows the detail of his face. The memorial window is also captioned: "To the Glory of God and in Loving Memory of William Wright. Died 6th November, 1932. Aged 70 Yrs." (Photo credit: Wikipedia) |
Nowhere in the Constitution is there a reference to divine
being. In fact, the first amendment
explicitly forbade the establishment of any official church or creed. So while many people see an attack or war on
Christianity, people are generally just trying to ensure the enforcement of the
first amendment. Do people want
Christianity to go away? How many people
would prefer this country to not have any Christians? Not many. Especially since most of the people
are Christian. It’s not that people value Muslims or Atheism. Yes, okay, some
Atheists would prefer to see Chrisitianity disappear, but they are a percentage
of this minority. I would say, almost universally that people are just valuing
the freedom our country is founded on. There is not a confined amount of
beliefs in our country. Its not that we have to take someone’s belief away top
make room for someone else’s belief. I have not taken any measurements, but I’m
sure they will fit. The people accused of making war on Christianity just want
to ensure that other people are allowed to practice their religion.
People are afraid that we will become a non-Christian
country. That we will turn Muslim. But that is the beauty of our country and
our Constitution. It’s why we need to keep religion out of our government and
just follow the framework of our founding fathers. Leaders can and should be
directed by their religious beliefs, but the laws stop up from becoming a
theocracy.
But our founding fathers created our government on the
principles of Christianity. We do have the words on our money and such, but
what where is it in the constitution?
And okay, lets follow their religios beliefs then.
