Congress Should:
- Pass the Constitution
Restoration Act of 2004
- Eliminate selective prosecution and harassment of churches by the
Internal Revenue Service through threats to deny tax-exempt status to
churches that refuse to disclose massive amounts of information about
themselves.
- Eliminate all restrictions on churches' freedom to apply their faith
and doctrine to political issues.
- Acknowledge God and conform its actions to "the
Laws of Nature and of Nature's God."
As the United States was founded, in part, to secure
religious freedom, Kevin Craig supports efforts to defend and enhance the
religious freedom of all Americans. While recognizing that Americans enjoy
a high level of religious liberty, Kevin Craig believes that the
imposition of a "high wall of separation of church and state" by
the Supreme Court during the past fifty years has diminished the freedoms
of local communities and school systems to accommodate public expressions
of religious faith. Kevin Craig will therefore seek ways to limit the
Court’s involvement in these matters and to empower cooperative
arrangements between religion and state according to local custom and
wishes.
The
Myth of
“the Separation of Church and State”
Probably the most destructive and profoundly evil falsehood
ever perpetrated by government is the modern doctrine of “the
Separation of Church and State.” Most Americans, having never read the
Constitution, assume it is in there somewhere. It is not.
The “separation” myth is the idea that government must
not be “under God.” Any government that will not admit that it must be
“under God” is a government that thinks it is
God.
The “separation” myth is the idea that the government
must be atheistic, and religious views must be kept private.
It is the denial that the government
has a duty to acknowledge and obey God.
It means school children cannot be told that God says not
to steal or kill. It means four thousand unborn babies are slaughtered
every single day. Both before and after the ratification of the
Constitution, America as a nation acknowledged its duty to be a
nation “under God.” The
modern Supreme Court has repudiated that duty, making America an
officially atheistic nation. The Court claimed in ALLEGHENY
COUNTY v. GREATER PITTSBURGH
ACLU, 492 U.S. 573 (1989):
| [T]he
Constitution mandates that the government remain secular . . . . |
|
This is a lie, arguably the most important lie in American
history. The justices who voiced it are too intelligent and too well
informed to believe it. The best spin on the lie is to say that the
Justices meant “The Constitution now mandates that the
government remain secular,” i.e, “because we said so” {Latin: ipse
dixit).
The Framers of the Constitution intended no such mandate,
and never observed any such
mandate. Just as all individuals have a duty to worship God, so
do nations. America’s Founding Fathers honored that duty.
Never mind that every single person who signed the
Constitution believed that America was and must always be a nation under
God, and must always acknowledge its duty
to God. The Court frankly admitted:
| This
Court, however, squarely has rejected the proposition
that the [First Amendment] is to be interpreted in light
of any favoritism for Christianity that may have existed
among the Founders of the Republic. |
|
Not a single person who signed the U.S. Constitution intended to create
a secular nation. From the beginning, America
was a Christian nation, and the Founding Fathers did not intend to
change this. Every single Signer of the Constitution believed the
following:
- Christianity was the true
religion, others were "false
religions."
- Forming a civil government was a
religious duty imposed by the God of the Bible, and hence all
governments must be "under
God."
- The God of the Bible answered the prayers of the colonists by directly
and supernaturally intervening in human history, aiding their
revolution against the British Empire to ensure American freedom. Not
a single "deist"
("clockmaker god") signed the Constitution.
- It is the duty of all governments to endorse
and promote the true
religion, and make sure the statutes they pass conform
to the Bible.
