Attacking God

Or ANYTHING Faithful

Hey folks,

If you have known me more for a while, you know that I have been talking about the moral decline in this country for years. I have done series of articles on the subject and have discussed this at length here and elsewhere. From the dumbing down of our kids, to the very active role on some people's part to remove ANYTHING "God" from public life.

We constantly hear of this fictitious "Wall of Separation of Church and State." Well, as far as Christians go that is. Jew? More subdue attacks because of history. Muslim? Wicken? Scientology? Well, that's great. You had better not say anything about those Religions, because of the First Amendment. Kid prays in the name of Jesus in school? Suspended or threaten with expulsion.

Some would argue, incorrectly, that the Founding Fathers did not want God in public life. They say that this Country was NOT founding on Judeo - Christian beliefs. It was. They would say that allowing God in public life is a violation of the "Wall." Well, first off, and yet again, there is no WALL. The phrase was taken from a private letter, NOT the Constitution. Second, the Amendment they are taking about is to protect the CHURCH. It is Freedom OF not FROM Religion. The founding Fathers put that there because that was the whole reason we LEFT to come here. They wanted to make sure, that the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT did NOT ESTABLISH a National Religion. In other words, the Church of America. Then through laws, and oppression, FORCE you to worship there.

But there has been a consorted effort by some in this country to remove Faith and God from Public life. No God in school. Look at our school system. No God on our Money. Money has become SOME peoples god. No God in our National Anthem. Remove that little annoying part that says "One nation under God." Forget the part in the Bill or Rights that say we are all given Rights and Freedom by our Creator. Forget the mention of God in other countless historical documents.

But whenever you remove God and morals, something else has to fill that void. The more God and morals are removed from society, the darker society gets. The more crime rises. The "anything goes" mentality, allows ANYTHING to go. So anytime I see something like this next article, it get's me thinking. According to Reuters- Hollywood out of step with American morals

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – A majority of Americans say Hollywood doesn't share their moral values, according to a poll commissioned by the Anti-Defamation League, a group that fights anti-Semitism.

Sixty-one percent of those surveyed said that religious values in America are "under attack," and 59% agreed that "the people who run the TV networks and the major movie studios do not share the religious and moral values of most Americans."

Neither does the Democrat controlled Congress.

The poll, titled "American Attitudes on Religion, Moral Values and Hollywood," was conducted by the Marttila Communications Group, which surveyed 1,000 adults nationwide. It was released Friday at the ADL's annual meeting in Los Angeles.

"These findings point to the challenges that we face in dealing with issues of religion in society," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL national director. "The belief that religion is under attack underlies the drive to incorporate more religion into American public life. Disturbingly, 43% of Americans believe there is an organized campaign by Hollywood and the national media to weaken the influence of religious values in this country."

It's NOT just Hollywood though folks.

Among the survey's findings:

-- 61% of respondents agree that "religious values are under attack in this country," while 36% disagree with that statement.

-- 43% said that Hollywood and the national media are waging an organized campaign to "weaken the influence of religious values in this country."

Yup. Started will Bill Clinton. Anything he did was fine. Adultery, lying, ETC. They actually marveled at Clinton's ability to lie. The admired him for it. Yet, anyone that is even remotely close to being, well, anything Christian, they belittle, attack, dig up any kind of dirt they can. If they can not find something, they just make it up.

We just saw during this past election. Obama comes out and says that those who believe in God are "bitter Clingers." Clinging to their guns and Bibles. Yet, you know as well as I do If Obama was not the Far Left Socialist spewing Liberal he is, HE would have been crucified in the Media for, well, name it. Illegal land deals, illegal contributions, associations with Radicals, ETC. Yet, they send a thirty person hit squad to Alaska to investigate Palin. They attack a PRIVATE citizen named "Joe the Plumber." while ignoring anything negative about their new Messiah.

-- 63% disagree with the statement that "the movie and television industries are pretty much run by Jews," while only 22% agree with that point. When ADL conducted its first survey on anti-Semitic attitudes, in 1964, nearly half of the respondents believed that the television and film industries were run by Jews.

-- Nearly 40% support the notion that "dangerous ideas should be banned from public school libraries," and nearly the same number disagree with the statement that "censoring books is an old-fashioned idea."

Do not forget folks, CENSORSHIP is on the rise and the Censorship Doctrine is on it's way.

-- Nearly half of those surveyed -- 49% -- believe that the United States is becoming "too tolerant in its acceptance of different ideas and lifestyles; 47% disagree with that statement.

WE saw that in the past election as well. AKA Gay Marriage Ban.

The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percent.

The majority of Americans STILL believe that God in public life, and morals still matter. This is interesting because they found that a majority of those surveyed believe that there IS an active effort to take God and faith out. Interesting. True. Interesting that more people are seeing it.

Pete,
Your 100% correct regarding the founding fathers. They had enough bad experiences with churches to place a barrier between religion and government. One of the problems we have is Public Education. Being public means, you have to appease everyone; which is impossible. Then what happens as in a Democracy, majority rules (51%)
The fortunate thing in this country is that we are not a Democracy (as most kids are taught in public schools), but a Republic with laws. The bill of rights negates the abuses of the majority. Public education is the worst thing we did in this country, which has caused more problems that the depth of which is hard to fathom: just another freedom of choice taken over by governments.

Hey DS Harford,

Your right. This is why they want earlier mandated indoctoration, "education." The earlier the better. They want these young kids with heads full of mush so that they can then attempt to mold them into good little Liberals.

We have seen MANY changes in education over the years. We started removing anything God, replaced that with this completely scientifically impossible THEORY of Evolution. Instead of teaching BOTH completely unproven THEORIES of the beginning, we started and continue to teach Evolution as FACT. Of course they do not SAY this is what they do, but this is how the kids are seeing it. Creationism is something that is a nice family tradition, such as church and Faith in God, but this should stay out of "reality." It should be left at home. Believe if you want that "little silly concept of God," but you are in school to get a "true Education."

WE have seen more and more Parental Rights taken away in the name of the parents just do not have the time or the Will to teach their own kids. Or that the Parents are too stupid to teach them. Lately we have even seen an attack on Home Schooling. Look for that to increase as well. Kids can not be brainwashed if they are not in the program.

Yes Public Education is a failure. The more we fill the void with agendas and indoctrination, the less kids actually learn. They learn to be idiots. They learn to have others think for them. They learn that Government is the answer to all their problems. All they have to do is be good citizens and accept anything they are told, and Mother Government will take care of them. When you really think about it, it is scary and sad.
