FREEDOM

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
Did you know that this is the first line of the Declaration of Independence? Do you know what the second line is?
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Do you know what the last line of the Declaration of Independence reads?
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Now did you notice what these three lines have in common? Let me give you a hint; Nature's God, Creator, protection of divine Providence. All three on these lines mention God, when people talk about the separation of Church and State, what they mean is that they don’t want the Church to influence anything that the nation does. But it’s too late; God has been influencing our country from the very beginning. Most of our founding fathers were Godly men. Did you know that the preamble to every state constitution mentions God? 56 delegates signed the Declaration of Independence knowing that by doing so meant high treason against the crown. Signing it did not mean that we were free; we were still in war with Great Britain. After the Declaration was written and approved it was sent to the printer, many copies were made and sent out, including to General George Washington who read it to his troops with the British troops not far away. Every where it was read crowds in many cities tore down and destroyed signs or statues representing royalty. An equestrian statue of King George in New York City was pulled down and the lead used to make musket balls. Our freedom wasn’t free, Thank God for it.
