Greetings Friends,
In the interview I recently did with Vigilant News, we brought up an article that I wrote for Badlands entitled God and the Declaration of Independence—I’m posting it again here so you guys can find it. I consider this to be one of the most important articles I’ve written, simply because the push to “dethrone God” is at the core of almost everything that the psychopathic elites are attempting to do to our world. “Atheist-skeptic” types frequently claim that theirs is the only sane, rational, and humane perspective because “religion has caused so many problems” and so on. “Muh crusades” almost always gets brought up when atheists and materialists want to discredit spirituality/religion.
The fact of the matter is that belief in God is completely harmonious with all known math and science. There’s nothing “anti scientific” regarding the idea that the Universe was created intelligently by a creator. Furthermore, the idea that mankind would suddenly become more compassionate if only we’d get rid God stands as one of the most farfetched claims in all history/sociology. So what if people have carried out evil acts in the name of this or that deity? Just because someone did something “in Gods name” doesn’t mean jack s#$t. If someone carried out an evil act in YOUR name, does that make you a bad person? No, clearly it doesn’t—therefore, the zeal to blame God (or a belief in God) for the actions of man is self-evidently absurd.
Without God, there would be no America. How do we know? Because it says so directly in the Declaration of Independence. Indeed, America’s very existence is justified on the basis that it’s self-evident that God intended for mankind to enjoy certain unalienable rights. Modern society wishes to do away with this concept altogether. It behooves us to ask: why?
Without further ado, I present to you: God and the Declaration of Independence…
Whether you consider yourself an atheist, agnostic, or a believer in God, one thing can’t be denied: the Declaration of Independence clearly asserts that God is the authority under which America was founded. According to the framework of the Declaration, our unalienable rights were not given to us by any Pope or King—they are our inheritance, bestowed upon us from none other than God Almighty. And, being as such, they are not subject to revocation by any man or woman, no matter how great their temporal power may be.
The Declaration is perhaps one of the most powerful documents ever written, and we want to understand why. Why go through all the effort to declare independence upon eternal principles that come from God? Why couldn’t Jefferson and company simply send King George a letter saying, effectively, “you’re not our king anymore”, and call it a day?
It's hard for a secular culture that’s steeped in materialism to appreciate questions such as these, but the fact of the matter is that the separation of theology and politics is a recent phenomenon. Secular states were virtually unheard of a little bit more than a century ago—some argue that America was founded on “the separation of church and state”, which seems to imply that God and religion have nothing to do with governance, law, etc., but this is not an accurate interpretation.
Without at least the concept of God, there would be no Declaration of Independence—the document says so on its face.
Jefferson and company didn’t take God out of the government. Instead, they declared that mankind is inherently free because that’s how God created him. The practical implementation of this freedom is to let men and women to worship (or not) as their conscience compels them—provided that such forms of worship don’t involve the unlawful destruction of life, liberty, or the property of others.
“Separation of church and state” does not mean the removal of God from government—it simply means that government is not the proper entity to prescribe particular forms of worship. How can a government claim to derive its authority from the Creator while at the same time denying the Creator? It’s an unsustainable, self-defeating proposition.
