Hello John and Doves,Of course satan's minions are livid over this. THEY want nothing good for America or her people. Morals, humanity, God-given rights, life is sacred, one nation under God, etc. is lost on these minions.The 13 original colonies all had charters based on Christian beliefs. And The Constitution used sermons of the day in its creation.The U.S. will celebrate 250 years this July 4, 2026.God bless the United States.Maranatha,ChanceFrom the above link:The Second Continental Congress called for a “day of humiliation, Fasting and Prayer” in May of 1776 amidst the impending separation with the Crown. As General George Washington stated, the day was set to “supplicate the mercy of Almighty God” and seek forgiveness for the nation’s sins before undertaking what would become the American Revolution.
Two hundred and fifty years later, President Donald Trump’s administration held a national prayer and rededication event. But the day of rededication ignited rebuke from the usual suspects, who framed the event as an alarming attempt to rewrite American history by portraying America as a nation founded in Christianity.
“Trump Administration Pushes Narrative of Christian Founding at Rally,” The Times’ Ruth Graham and Elizabeth Dias wrote. “The rally aimed to crystallize the narrative that the nation’s founding was an intentionally Christian project, a framing disputed by many scholars.”
But it’s not a “narrative” — it’s a matter of historical record. Nonetheless, The Times pivots to the familiar talking point that — in The Times’ words — “The separation of church and state has long been a bedrock principle of American democracy,” citing the First Amendment’s prohibition on federally established church. The irony of course is lost on The Times, that is, that the same generation that prohibited a federally established church is the same generation that proclaimed national days of prayer and thanksgiving and openly spoke of religion as essential to the republican form of government they created.
The Times’ dispute of our Christian Founding is so weak that their strongest rebuttal came from historian Joseph Ellis, who declared the idea that the founders viewed America as an explicitly Christian nation is “nonsensical” and “dead wrong.”
“Instead, the founders were explicitly pushing back against an assumption that persisted through the Middle Ages, that states needed common religious preference to unite people, he said,” The Times reported.
It’s an odd claim, considering Founder John Jay wrote in Federalist Paper No. 2: “I have as often taken notice that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people — a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion…”
Federalist No. 2 was part of a compilation of writings meant to explain and justify the purpose of the Constitution.
