Our Founding Fathers

I won't bend to the comments of secular humanists when they say things like this:

"You took god and made him a story book character in a horribly written book. It's no worse than the Koran. They aren't supernatural evils beyond allegedly drowning the whole world and stuff but supernatural bunk that contradicts reality as every human being alive today can testify to if you understand science. The community had their chance when they failed to call their senator and House of Rep when this bill was introduced like I did. Pay up as I am willing to pay for this legal battle with your tax dollars since you didn't write your elected official even now about this bad idea."

Aha! Pay up, huh? He says I need to pay? Wait a minute...I thought this was a free society. This proves to me that my question posed to TX Michael Newdow wannabe still goes unanswered: Is this man willing to homeschool his children and teach his own prepared curriculum free from everything he disagrees with, or is he going to continue to antagonize his community and try to force them to bend to the wishes of secular humanism: remove references of God from everything? I'm beginning to think that this isn't really about his kids learning in a God-free zone: It's about settling a score from his past, a score against the Southern Baptists for whatever reason. I've even been invited to take this discussion into private email. I will not do it, because this man wants to remove this discussion off the public forum and coerce me into keeping my opinions to myself. The posts I see after my posts on his blog just prove to me that they are bent on pushing their agenda, thinking merely about themselves and not thinking about their kids' well being.

Christopher Paolini, the author of "The Inheritance" trilogies, is a brilliant kid, right? He was homeschooled. Just an example.

Okay, enough of that. I found some great stuff on our Founding Fathers. Yay!!!!

LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
President Abraham Lincoln reminded the nation of that great truth contained in the Declaration of Independence when he said, "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." He reaffirmed faith towards Almighty God as Creator of mankind.
In the Declaration, the Founders established the foundation and the core values on which the Constitution was to operate. The Constitution was never to be interpreted apart from those values expressed in the Declaration. Those expressed values are of God and from God.

The First Amendment was clearly understood and explained by the man who wrote it and the man who first applied it as law. Fisher Ames wrote it. John Jay applied it as law while he was the first Chief Justice of our Supreme Court.
Fisher Ames, the same man who wrote the First Amendment, also wrote that the Bible should always remain the principle text book in America's classrooms.
John Jay, original Chief-Justice U.S. Supreme Court, said it is the duty of all wise, free, and virtuous governments to help and encourage virtue and religion.

97% of the founding fathers were practicing Christians and exercised their faith in public office, at work, at home, and had it taught to their children in their schools.
187 of the first 200 colleges in America were Christian, Bible teaching institutions. Entrance to Harvard required strong knowledge of the Bible.
Noah Webster wrote the dictionary with Bible verses explained so children could understand the words of God and know the truth of Jesus Christ. Webster even wrote a translation of the Bible for the American speaking people.

The Declaration of Independence appeals to God no less than three times. Four to those who can see His Name in the phrase "protection of divine providence". Five to those who can admit the phrase "created equal" means created by God, not evolved from chaos.
Contrary to what is currently taught at most federal and state schools, Samuel Adams pointed out this strong lesson which is contradicted in courts today: "Before the formation of this Constitution...this Declaration of Independence was received and ratified by all the States in the Union and has NEVER been disannuled."
The men who wrote the Declaration of Independence declared within it their undying faith towards God for all generations to see and follow.
