Tim~ It seems there are always a lot of feet that are hot to go to the
forefront but which turn cold when the actual battle lines are drawn and met.
To my recollect you have never been one of those. Strong permanent colors which
don't run away are urgently needed now!
The renowned "Founding Fathers" were good enough to include in their plans, by
mention, our Savior. To my way of thinking they did not do so nearly strongly
enough, and the condemnation of any "religious test" was -- as experience has
displayed -- a BIG mistake!
Such mistake shows up no more readily or often than in the "Oaths of Office and
Faithful Performance" which are now in evidence as mere ruses! What "god" is
involved for the oath-taker/attester? How can anyone, as things now proscribe,
have any certainty to what or what kind of god is involved? Whereas as
performance indicates, many if not most are devoted to their god Satan, it is
unwise for those in a nation founded entirely on the Doctrine of Christ to not
allow some religious test, i.e. that above mentioned Doctrine, to be a minimum
requirement as to the parameters of any office! Whereas it may seem to some
Jefferson’s original feelings were properly overbroad, it must be borne in mind
his afterward refl3ections – seeing firsthand the open abuses -- moderating of
the allowances given the press. Our greatest liberalizations – NOT allowed by
our faith – such as that of no religious requirements, have certainly proven
the need to repeal the
original and replace it with, “No religious test other than a basic dedication
to the Doctrine of Christ shall ever…”.
In AD1861 an attempt was made to remove America from the “Faith of our Fathers”
away to faith in the bankers and the bank of England &co; a removal that seems
now to be nearing the finish line> While we still have 80% of America parroting
their “Christianity”, seems to be the right time to make the amendment which
this turn toward the “Protection against all enemies, both foreign and
domestic” a step in dual accomplishment!
Along this line you might consider the question, “To what constitution are you
referring in your oath/attestation?”. ~Hal~
