It's a Matter of Life or Death
"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." -- John Adams (Address to the Military, 11 October 1798); Reference: America's God and Country (10-11)

"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between church and State."
-- Thomas Jefferson (letter to a Committee of the Danbury Baptist Association, Connecticut, January 1st 1802) -- Reference: Jefferson Writings, Peterson, ed., 510.
Have you noticed how this "wall of separation between church and State" has always been used backwards from the original intent?!? Instead of protecting religion from the State [from government] -- people in government, ACLU, or other [usually] anti-Christians use this as a tool against religion to censure and to censor what is said, written, or done. — Troy D. Davis
