On the Alleged "Separation" Clause

With the murder of Dr. Tiller earlier today, the morbidly ill lefties that are joyous over his death have renewed their HATRED of Christians and religion in general. Please ignore the fact that Dr. Tiller was MURDERED in CHURCH, so the abortionist was even trying to save his soul from Hell.

I cannot COUNT the number of times that I have seen "separation," "church," and "state" typed today. Once and for all, HERE is the ONLY Place that had been UTTERED until around 1940 or so, when our descent into Communism started.

Jefferson's Letter to the Danbury Baptists

To messers. Nehemiah Dodge, Ephraim Robbins, & Stephen S. Nelson, a committee of the Danbury Baptist association in the state of Connecticut.

Gentlemen

The affectionate sentiments of esteem and approbation which you are so good as to express towards me, on behalf of the Danbury Baptist association, give me the highest satisfaction. my duties dictate a faithful and zealous pursuit of the interests of my constituents, & in proportion as they are persuaded of my fidelity to those duties, the discharge of them becomes more and more pleasing.

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & 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 & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.

I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection & blessing of the common father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves & your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem.

Th Jefferson
Jan. 1. 1802.

This was written to a group of men in Connecticut to REMOVE the federal government from a STATE debate concerning some legal issues. The letter was written for a specific purpose and if you read it, yo can PLAINLY see that President Jefferson was saying that the federal government had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SAY about any state religion.

From this one little letter, we now have TOTAL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONTROL of our lives. When the leftists lie about something, WE HAVE TO CALL THEM ON IT.

No matter how frustrating it is.

Please take the time to comment.
