Happy Independence Day, everyone.
I'm posting here just to say out loud that I'm thankful for the God-fearing reverent men who took the reigns of power from England back then (1775-1783), and who had the nerve to sign their names to the Declaration of Independence and send it off to King George III.
The Declaration of Independence certainly did not comply with the liberal-created idea that the government of a people has to be be indifferent to faith, must flee from any reference to God and must not allow God to be spoken of or cited or praised in a government building or property. The Declaration of Independence explicitly references God, although in a way that does not point to a particular faith or denomination.
If you take the Leftists at their word, the proper role of religion in our Constitution is "separate and unequal." Doctrines of faith, and people who practice them, must be shunned from public life and kept "in the closet." God is for churches only, and should not be seen or spoken of outside of church. That's what the liberal Democrat Party wants.
Yet, the Framers of the Constitution penned a document that announces that the laws of "Nature's God" entitles a people to self-determination, and than mankind was created by God, and given certain rights by God. Civil government, of men, exists as the earthly tool to protect these rights that came from God.
Today's school children don't actually READ the Declaration, do they? They are told about it, and given a summary of it, and I would presume a summary that omits any mention of God. That's the way our education system works. Modify the history to fit the socialists' narrative.

Today we remember the day our ancestors basically declared war on Great Britain. Fighting had been going on here and there for over a year at this point, but now as of July, 1776 it was going to get much more intense.
Yet the Bible says there is a time for war and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:8
When sufficiently provoked and to further God's plan, the Lord even instructs us to beat our plowshares into swords.
Joel 3:10.
I'm glad the Founding Fathers had the discernment to know what things they could change and the courage to carry out that change.
