Absolutely right -- everything you wrote. "The separation of church and state" is not in the First Amendment to the Constitution or anywhere else in the Constitution. Secular humanists and the liberal left have used Thomas Jefferson's words -- actually written in a letter to the Danbury Baptists on New Year's Day weekend of 1802 (and not in the Constitution) -- to further their agendas against Christian and Jewish spiritual beliefs and against the Lord God Almighty.
No doubt about it, Thomas Jefferson's words in this letter have been twisted and misconstrued to further the left's political assault against conservatives and Bible-believing Americans.
When the secular humanists took over in the school systems, it was "no religion" in the public schools. Of course, the secular humanists failed to mention that secular humanism IS a religion as stated in the Humanist Manifesto. Now, it's gone from bad to evil. While Bibles are a "no, no," today's school children are being trained to embrace Islam, even bow their heads to "Allah" during prayers at school. When California parents took their child out of school for this reason and complained to the school system, they were told that it was school policy!
And, if that's not enough, the RINO leaders of our own Republican parties bowed their heads to Muslim prayer in our own House of Representatives. Personally, I consider this treason to America and to God, Himself, but still, it is their First Amendment right to do so.
Thomas Jefferson believed in maximizing religious liberty, and getting the government to stop promoting specific denominations and policing people's personal beliefs. At that time, of course, Jefferson was referring, most particularly, to the various Christian denominations in this fledgling country.
In other words, the signal Jefferson meant to send was that he believed in real religious liberty, not the purging of religion from the public sphere. America was founded a Christian country. America has not, however, ever stopped anyone from worshiping as they please. It's their First Amendment right to do so. It is also our First Amendment right to do so.
Unfortunately, we are under a UN/Islamic takeover in this country. It's a very real and evil political/religious agenda to make America a Socialist Islamic nation. (With a lot of communist beliefs all mixed up in the agenda.) Yes, our First Amendment rights, our rights to freedom of speech and spiritual beliefs are under a massive attack. Islam hates Jews and Christians. We are the infidels. Their war cry is to kill all the infidels to the glory of their idol god Allah.
Have we ever denied a Muslim, a Buddist, a Hindu, or even a Satan-worshipper the right to practice religious freedom in this country? No, not to my knowledge. But, does our current government and the UN/Islamic takeover of this country want to deny us the right to be Jews and Christians who have the same rights to worship freely? While it can be insidiously deceptive in many ways at this present point in time, you bet it does!
Obama (while he won't admit it openly) is Muslim and pro-Islam. Obama, while pretending to be against radical Muslim beliefs and terrorists, knows full well that killing Jews and Christians is just part of the Muslim religious foundation, whether the Muslim is a radical, psychotic terrorist or not. Unfortunately, our current administration is working hard toward the goal of endorsing a particular religion -- Islam -- on a national basis and forcing it down our throats. This is a definite violation of our Constitutional rights.
Several years back, our Messianic rabbi told us that we could not discuss politics or the upcoming election in our congregation or, if it were found out, he could lose his non-profit, tax-deductable status. Get that!! Government's big idea of separating the church from the state, as if it were the government's right to do such a thing! Since when should Bible believing Americans not be able to discuss politics at church? Bible history and prophecies, and today's world situation and politics, are incredibly interwoven.
Our current administration is in the ongoing process of insidiously creating a State or national religion, government sanctioned and required or else! The present administration is in the process of waging war against our Constitution in an effort to take away our Constitutional rights and freedoms. More of our rights are being threatened or lost everyday.
