That very white christian nationalist idea ask it that specifically we have a majority of white evangelicals saying yes some challenges in the republican party with far right extremists white nationalists christian nationalists a strong man form of government is actually okay and is desirable if it delivers as matt said
The christian white nationalist agenda stamp the entire republican party as fans of this white christian nationalism because that’s what they are pin them down when they envision one nation under god it is a white christian nation they have become the sort of the white defense party or the white
Christian nationalist party is that a fair statement yes you know i’m i’m trying to figure out what they were saying there i i missed the point good hello america i want to show you tonight’s show i want to show you a couple of things we’re going to do a show on
And it’s tonight so lucky yes on white christian nationalists this is from cnn all the most trusted name in i don’t know what uh and this one is this one just came out this is from the atlantic i like this one how extremist gun culture is trying to co-op the rosary this is
A hysterical hysterical uh story both of them are funny if it wasn’t that as you just saw there the talking points are now too aimed to destroy christianity as you know it remember this is the idea of the progressives to destroy everything they have to destroy our language our traditions our churches our
Homes our families our businesses our very way of life the way we understand our own sexuality all of it has to be destroyed so they can build something new on top and they are busy they’re in washington trying to make sure that they can paint us into radicals
All right so let’s go into this today and i i’m i this is an important thing because if you’re at all christian or you care about christians or jews or anybody else you really need to understand this because this is their point of attack cnn posted that hatchet job article
About crazy dangers of white christian nationalist movement all right i’m sure there are white christian nationalists somewhere i don’t know any i don’t know anybody in the party that knows anybody maybe they’re there but i don’t think that’s what we’re wanting this is a growing trend now on the left
To vilify christian nationalism which is a bad thing but the left seriously thinks that the goal of every white american christian born in here in america wants to create gilead you know the theocratic dictatorship from the handmaiden’s tale at least that’s what they want you to
Believe we believe i mean this is crazy this cnn article is so misleading and ignorant that it’s almost a waste of your time but the um the actual facts and the setting the record straight is not a waste of your time it’s extraordinarily important the left in general and okay except for
Cnn they’re truly they’re truly trying to group all americans as white christian nationalists and because of that it is important to show you this cnn piece and others and break it down and give you some rebuttals that you can share with your friends to refute this amateur smear campaign because this will
Be here for a while first i want to read a couple of quotes from the article about the idea of separation in church and state they say erasing the line separating piety from politics is a key characteristic of white christian nationalism many want to reduce or erase
The separation of church and state say those who study the movement later in talking about the supreme court’s decision to overturn roe versus wade cnn goes on to say white christian nationalists are inspired by those decisions because one of their central goals is to erase the separation of
Church and state in the u.s the left has successfully elevated the separation of church and state to an absurd level that the founders including thomas jefferson wouldn’t even recognize they would really hit us across the head and say what are you stupid for example earlier this year a michigan
High school student was suspended for three days by his school for stating his christian belief on his own social media accounts as well as discussing his faith in the school hallway without a teacher present to monitor and guide the conversation oh my gosh i’m surprised we haven’t executed this kid
There are hundreds of examples like this you hear about these examples of you know cases like this every now and again but let me do the job that cnn has failed to do and define and tell you the history of separation of church and state what it actually means and i’ll do
That by consulting this guy thomas jefferson the guy who progressives credit with inventing the phrase they love so much how can you possibly listen to thomas jefferson thomas jefferson said all men are created equal he didn’t know about slaves separation of church and state thomas jefferson said it all bow to thomas jeff
When jefferson became president in 1801 his election was particularly well accepted by the baptists the baptists appreciated that jefferson had a record of standing up for religious freedom for baptists but also methodists and presbyterians and jews okay plus he was trying to bring the end to the official state anglican church in virginia
Because of this well-known record jefferson received many letters of congratulations from the baptist organizations following the election well one of those letters was dated october 7 1801 it’s this one from the baptist association of danbury connecticut the letter begins with an expression of great satisfaction that jefferson won the election
And then expressed their grave concern over laws protecting their freedom of exercise of religion and they were troubled by the idea that religious privileges were being guaranteed by the apparent generosity of the government wait why would ministers object to the state guarantee the guarantee of religious freedom because to the insightful danbury
Baptists the presence of governmental language protecting their free exercise of religion suggested that it was a government granted right and if that was the case and it wasn’t a god-given inalienable right well they thought maybe someday the government might just think that this could be regulated or taken away
They believed that government should not interfere with any public religious expression unless as they told jefferson that religious practice caused someone to quote work ill to his neighbor the danbury baptist wrote to president jefferson fully understanding that he was an ally of their viewpoint it was jefferson’s firm position that
The federal government had no authority to interfere with limit regulate or prohibit public religious expressions a position that he stated all the time jefferson replied to the danbury baptist assuring them you don’t have anything to fear the government would not meddle with their public or private religious expressions quote i
Contemplate with sovereign reverence that the act of whole american people which declared in the first amendment that their legislators should make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof thus building he sat at a wall of separation between church and state yeah let’s bring in the legos
For some of those americans that are a little slow i’ll go slow look at the pretty church and it’s got probably some evil preacher in there and here of course is the government and the government is so friendly and look pay no attention to the guy with the lasso
He he’s only going to do that to horses definitely not people he’s definitely not the fbi no no so here it is here is the government here is the church here’s the wall that they love to say was placed there okay a wall of separation between church and state
It was a metaphor used by jefferson not to secularize the public square but rather the opposite you see here’s what happened back then we all understood the church was part of this community kind of like a fancier chuck e cheese without the good food that was part of it
And they knew the government had a little guy with a lasso right here and they’re like you know what he’s going to start doing stuff and so i think we should put a wall separating the guy with the lasso so he can’t lasso anybody here and they’re protected over here from them
This would protect their religious rights and their religious rights and their non-religious rights no matter what it was everybody over here was protected from the government early american courts identified a very small class of actions that have done in the name of religion the government did have a religious uh or a legitimate
Reason to limit that religious practice it included bigamy concombinish conkembinage which i think we’ve pretty much wiped out at this point incest child sacrifice infanticide parasite and other harmful crimes but outside of the destructive behaviors like that the government wasn’t allowed to impede in traditional religious expressions in public the wall
See they they look at it like this that they’re on side of the town hall no that’s our state government that does that okay the where where we’re we’re protecting these guys from the evil no it’s this way the separation church and state was understood to mean preserving and
Protecting religious expression in pi public and private so how did the understanding change well through landmark supreme court rulings in 1947 and 48 oh my gosh right there in the progressive era everson versus board of education and mccullum versus board of education these rulings the supreme court completely reversed the historic meaning
Of separation in church and state the court didn’t cite jefferson’s full letter why should they i mean is it just all i want are the eight words completely cutting out all of the historic context as a result for the first time jefferson’s phrase was used to limit
Rather than to protect religion in the public square thomas jefferson approved religious activities as president you’re gonna love this one write it down remember this he would get him canceled by the left today he approved a plan for a christian church service to be held each sunday
In the capitol’s largest room the hall of the house of representatives jefferson attended those services himself throughout his two terms as president under president jefferson you know separation church and state church sunday services were also started at the war department and the treasury department all government buildings of the
Executive branch under his direct control so on any given sunday worshipers could choose between attending a church at the u.s capitol or the war department or the treasury department all with the blessing of jefferson he also wrote the plan for education in washington dc you know for the public schools which included
The idea that the bible would be the primary reading text for students and he directed the secretary of war to give federal funds to a religious school established for cherokee cherokees in tennessee now these don’t really sound like the actions of a guy who was terrified of the church he said
He was afraid the government would show up in the public square and in the churches not one not even his critics his enemies ever objected to jefferson’s governmental religious practice or claimed that they were improper and violent or constitutional they didn’t then and it shouldn’t be that way today it’s only because of
Faith phobes on the left that demand it basically if i may quote the princess bride separation of church and state i do not think it means what you think it means now i want you to know that this is what they’re building but if we take this away okay they do
Have another idea and they’re working quite hard on that and that is fixed another cnn dubious claim about america’s christian heritage next Do you remember when the joker said this town deserves a better class of criminals and i’m gonna give it to him little known fact that was the when home title theft was invented and now it’s everywhere not just in gotham yeah that damn joker here’s how you find out if you become a

Com code radio sorry government’s still not finished destroying everything anyway cnn thinks that white christian nationalism is one of the biggest threats to the american democracy republic let me give you a couple of quotes here from the recent feature about this threat one of the most popular beliefs among white christian nationalists is
That the u.s was founded as a christian nation but the notion that the u.s was founded as a christian nation is just bad history and bad theology no actually it’s not it’s not just a popular belief among white christian nationalists that the us was founded on as a christian nation no
Not bad history either in fact i’ve got a i’ve got a whole museum you should come and see i could take days just on this american leaders have widely stated this belief throughout u.s history but the left didn’t really give an honest look they hear christian nation and they
Automatically go they want a theocracy now we’ve never been a theocracy um and neither have the christians in america never in fact it’s the exact opposite why did people come here the earliest christian settlers came here because they were fleeing persecution from the last thing they wanted to set up was
Another theocracy here america is a christian nation because its values cultures and institutions were shaped by the principles of the bible now this is a little like saying iran or iran what does the koran have to do with iran uh even without the theocracy it was set up
On those principles you know kind of like egypt and saudi arabia okay but what’s different is what happened here in america all faiths all beliefs you didn’t have to believe you no one was excluded all were welcomed but in general the principles of christianity informed our public policy
And this didn’t used to be controversial not until lately let me take you through some historic evidence showing that every generation until right now was considered uh that we were a a christian nation you’re gonna love this one let me start with some presidential quotes some some declarations here by some
Presidents i think you’re gonna lack america was born a christian nation america was born to exemplify that devotion to the true elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of holy scripture now who said that come on commandments every leftist top five president everybody’s favorite woodrow wilson okay this guy hated religion
Hated it hated it but he knew this he couldn’t get away from this otherwise he would have been done okay here’s another one i like this one that’s a christian nation in this great country of ours has demonstrated the fundamental unity of christianity and democracy who said that one harry truman okay
Then there’s this one in the last 200 years we have guided the building of our nation and our society by those principles and precepts brought to earth nearly 2 000 years ago on that first christmas yeah see how are you developing a penny because look at this that was lyndon b johnson huh
Oh and i’ve got okay i even have the prayer that he gave on air on d-day i i have his bibles that he sent out to the troops over at the museum so there you know you have fdr and a couple of other you know people uh you’ve got uh dwight eisenhower saying
It you’ve got herbert hoover saying it love that guy how about john adams how about thomas jefferson how about everybody’s favorite i mean i can’t get enough of john tyler right zachary taylor i’m gonna put him there with john because i’m sure they hung up abraham lincoln
Ulysses s grant you know the guy who fleet freed the slaves uh william mckinley and even rick nixon yeah now i could go on but my staff begged me please don’t make us make any more magnets all right but it’s just our presidents they’re being overly sentimental they don’t actually mean that stuff
Well okay let’s go back to our charters america’s colonial charters and governments oh here’s one the mayflower compact of 1620 declared that their endeavor was quote undertaken for the glory of god and the advancement of the christian faith 1629 massachusetts bay colony their charter declared that winning the
Country to the knowledge and obedience of the only true god god and savior of mankind and the christian faith is the principle end of this plantation plantation they had no we meant colony different kind in 1954 there was a speech by u.s supreme court chief justice earl warren
Let me summarize it here just with this quote i believe no one can read the history of our country without realizing that the good book and the spirit of the savior have been from the beginning been our guiding geniuses whether we look to the first charter of virginia oh i didn’t
Show you that one or the charter of england yep charter of uh massachusetts bay yeah or the fundamental orders of connecticut i could show you that the same objective is present a christian land governed by christian principles okay well that’s a judge we can’t trust judges anymore
We can trust nancy pelosi you know the legislative branch in 1854 a house judiciary committee uh said and i quote had the people during the revolution had a suspicion of any attempt to war against christianity that revolution would have been strangled in its cradle at the time of the adoption of the
Constitution and amendments the universal sentiment was that christianity should be encouraged not anyone sacked or denomination in this age there can be no substitute for christianity that in its general principles is the great conservative element on which we must rely for the purity and permanence of free institutions
The house also said in 1856 uh they made a little declaration the great vital and conservative element in our system is the belief of our people in the pure doctrines and divine truths of the gospel of jesus christ now surely our judea a judicial branch when they actually just weren’t spouting nonsense
When they had a rule they had better sense to imply that america was a christian nation actually no on hundreds of occasions over the past two centuries state and federal courts routinely made the declaration in fact u.s supreme court decisions declared america as a christian nation in 1844 1892 1931. in fact
David brewer he was a justice he was the author of the unanimous 1892 supreme court decision he explained quote christianity came to this country with the first colonist and it’s been powerfully identified with its rapid development colonial and national and today exists as a mighty factor in the life of the republic
This is a christian nation the calling of this republic a christian nation is not a mere pretense but a recognition of the historic legal and social truth even chief justice earl warren you know a guy who helped usher in all the activist stuff you know from the courts
Uh he acknowledged the source of our laws ready quote i believe the entire bill of rights came into being because of the knowledge our forefathers had of the bible and their belief in it freedom of belief freedom of expression of assembly petition the dignity of the individual the sanctity of home the
Equal justice under the law and the reservation of the powers to the people i like to believe we are living today in the spirit of the christian religion i also like to believe that as long as we do so no great harm can come to our country hey are we still living that
This is a short highlight reel i mean i could go on all night the left their flavor of the month is attacking now the traditional christian faith it’s white christian nationalism jeremiah wright 12 years ago he was fine what are you talking about how dare you say that that was black nationalism yeah
Yeah okay so they’re trying to spread the lie that america’s heritage as a christian nation is simply a fantasy of white christian nationalists it’s not a fantasy and that doesn’t take a white christian nationalist to know that it takes anybody who can read it’s not wishful thinking it’s a well-established fact
And just as i showed you american leadership across the political spectrum used to openly acknowledge this facts throughout our history then change it unfortunately there are plenty of more lies that the cna and uh hit piece put out and they really need to hang on just a second
Sorry that one churchgoer was moving they all need to be addressed and i think i’m going to take on their claim the founding fathers they didn’t have faith oh next okay if you’re one of the millions of americans who suffer every day from pain sucks doesn’t it yeah bad
I don’t think i need to tell you any more than that have you tried everything are you sick of hearing the doctor say well uh you know you exercising shut up shut up fatty fats anyway here’s what you can do try relief factor try relief factor try it for three weeks
See if it works for you if it doesn’t you’re going to be out 20 bucks i’ll give you that but if it does like it does with 70 percent of the people who try it they go on to order more month after month you get your life back
So get the three week quick start right now try it for 19.95 19.95 at relief factor.com that’s relieffactor.com yeah by the way i’m i’m going to make all of these documents available um we have them all over at the museum i could go on and on and on and on
With this it’s pretty overwhelming when you actually see it so now one of the other favorite attacks on america’s indisputable christian heritage is that our founders well they weren’t really christians they were deist which is kind of like a watchmaker he makes the watch and then he walks away well
I mean a good thrashing of cnn would really not would not miss this quote virtually none of our founders could be classified as evangelical christians well well i will tell you they were nothing like you you white christian nationalist rubes so what’s their evidence well they don’t really they talk to
Experts who weren’t there um you know but i had the idea we should go back and look at what the founders said in their own words because if i read that then you’ll know these guys were not christian i mean it’s not any kind of christianity you might recognize
So i wanted to start with a little teeny minor figure a real lightweight uh john adams quote the holy ghost carries on the whole christian system in this earth not a baptism not a marriage not a sacrament can be administered but by the holy ghost there is no authority or civil or
Religious there can be no legitimate government but what is administered by the ghost the holy ghost there can be no salvation without it all without it is rebellion and perdition or in more orthodox words damnation he doesn’t sound like a preacher that i’ve ever heard samuel adams you know he signed the
Declaration but he makes really good beer too he said i rely on the merits of jesus christ for a pardon of all my sins i conceive we cannot better express ourselves than by humbly supplicating the supreme ruler of the world for the promoting and speedily bringing on the
Holy and happy period when the kingdoms of our lord and savior jesus christ may be everywhere established and the people willingly bow to the scepter of him who is the prince of peace i’m just hoping he comes with a scepter and he just once in a while just like
You know what i mean anyway josiah bartlett he was asked to sign the declaration of independence and he said confess before god our aggravated transgressions and implore his pardon who i don’t know yet oh here it is and forgiveness through the merits and mediation of jesus christ
That the knowledge of the gospel of jesus christ may be known to all nations i’d like it to be known just to this one charles carroll signer of the declaration of independence on the mercy of my redeemer i rely for salvation and on his merits not on the works i have done in
Obedience to his precepts i charles carroll hope that through and by the merits sufferings and mediation of my only savior jesus christ i may be admitted into the kingdom prepared by god for those who love fear and truly serve him that’s a watchmaker if i’ve ever heard
One you know i mean he said and walked away alexander hamilton you know the the black guy that was oh my gosh he’s white how did that happen is this picture real he said i have a tender reliance on the mercy of the almighty through the merits
Of the lord jesus christ by the way alexander hamilton also recommended the formation of what he titled the christian constitutional society there was no wall there he had just one room it listed two goals for it supporting the christian religion and the u.s constitution what this organization was to have numerous
Clubs throughout each state they met regularly to work in elect to office those who reflected these goals but did you notice i used the word clubs they had clubs everywhere of course they do it’s just like those christians to club people here’s another one john hancock have you
Ever heard of him signer of the declaration of independence he actually he called on the state of massachusetts to pray this that all nations may bow to the scepter of our lord and savior jesus christ and the whole earth may be filled with his glory that spiritual kingdom of our lord and
Savior jesus christ may be continually increasing until the whole earth shall be filled with his glory to confess their sins before god and implore his forgiveness through the merits and mediation of jesus christ our lord and savior but wait what about the separation in church and state
These guys uh thought government was a little more threatening than christianity the left has completely flipped this around next on our hit parade of signers samuel huntington signer of the declaration of independence at number 42. it becomes a people publicly to supplicate the pardon that we may obtain forgiveness through the merits and
Mediation of our lord and savior jesus christ did has anybody noticed that they’re like hey we should humble ourselves maybe ask for forgiveness and they did all this without a spin doctor or a copy machine then there was robert treat payne signer of the declaration i desire to bless and
Praise the name of god most high for appointing me my birth in a land of gospel light where the glorious tidings of a savior and pardon and salvation through him may have been continually sounding in mine ears oh he’s got more i am constrained to express my adoration of the supreme
Being the author of my existence in full belief of his providential goodness and his forgiving mercy revealed to the world through jesus christ through whom i hope for never ending happiness in a future state give it a rest man i believe the bible to be the written word of god and to
Contain in it the whole rule of faith and manners there you go benjamin rush he was kind of important he signed the declaration of independence my only hope of salvation is in the infinite transcendent love of god manifested by the world by his death of his son upon the cross which son was
That was it steve was it bill was it pete no it was jesus even was like i rely on it exclusively upon it come lord jesus come quickly i’m there now i don’t know about anybody else but i’m like bring it on man the great enemy of the salvation of man
He said in my opinion never invented a more effective means of limiting christianity from the world than by persuading mankind that it was improper to read the bible at schools do i hear a million the bible should be read in our schools in preference to all other books really even that lgbtq
Trans library really slow down here’s benjamin rush reading the bible in school what a white christian nationalist finally roger sherman signer of the declaration and constitution quote i believe there is only one living and true god existing in three persons the father son and holy ghost what a whack
Job right he’s not like a christian like you know in the same substance equal in power and glory that the scriptures of the new and old testaments are revelation from god and complete rule to direct us how we may glorify and enjoy him i believe that
God did send his own son i think this time it was pete to become a man die in the room die in the room probably was pete instead of sinners and thus lay a foundation for the offer of pardon and salvation to all mankind so they may be
Saved who are willing to accept the gospel offer oh my gosh these guys went on and on i believe the souls of believers that they are their death made perfectly holy and immediately taken to glory that the end of this world there will be a resurrection of the dead final judgment
Of mankind when the righteous shall be publicly acquitted by christ the judge and admitted to everlasting life and glory and the wickedness the wicked be sentenced to everlasting punishment dare i say hell yep they don’t sound christian to me you didn’t recognize any of those as like
A pretty big doctrine you know for a christian because i didn’t i did i missed that now those are just some of the highlights there are many many more examples oh not a topping chef yes there is yet another george what yes there is to say that virtually none of
The founders could be classified as evangelical christians that’s just dishonest i mean how do you define an evangelical somebody who goes on and on and on talking about jesus in a minute with just one more ignorant claim from cnn and this one’s about the u.s constitution america needs more companies like
American financing now more than ever if you’re smart and i’m pretty sure you are i mean you’re here you know what i’m saying you’re concerned about where your money is going how much you’re spending every month how much your savings and what the future holds american financing
Understands they want to help you out give them a call today do it when you’ve got 10 minutes and they’re going to perform a free mortgage review there are no tricks no obligations they’re not going to try to convince you that you know to do anything that’s not good for
You i say kill the family cat that will save you but they actually work for you not the banks who are all cat killers i’ve heard by getting its consolidation loan to deal with things like credit card debt i mean the percentages and that you’re paying the interest rates sky high and
It’s only going to get higher maybe equity in your home could be used to pay off those debts equity is at a high right now american financing will work with you and they’ll find the thing that is right for you i want you to call them
At 800 906 24 40 800 906 2440 or go to americanfinancin.net to a heavenly man yeah a lego doobie man i want to focus on one more of cnn’s misleading statements and this one really kind of sounds out as embarrassing really i mean it’s an example of basic historic
Ignorance and bible literacy both together in one big bowl quote the constitution also says nothing about god the bible or the ten commandments yeah the constitution doesn’t cite specific bible verses but it didn’t need to americans of that era knew the bible well to understand all of the references
For example the constitution stipulates that the when congress passes a bill the president has 10 days to sign the bill sunday’s accepted sundays sundays the christian sabbath they were excluded from the constitution from the count of the allotted 10 days why is that just as the sunday’s accepted clause shows the religious
Context of the constitution so too do the five oath-taking clauses the founders repeatedly affirmed that oath taking was a solely religious activity for example james madison called it the strongest of religious ties john adams said the oaths were sacred obligations declaration signer john witherspoon said taking an oath indeed
Is an act of worship maybe that’s why everybody lies on the stand today because nobody takes it seriously whose fault is that the constitution declares in article 7 that it was written in the year of our lord 1787. now most legal documents of that day only give the year
Very few added in the year of our lord but the drafters of the constitution personalized that phrase making it in the year of our lord that’s even more rare other parts of the constitution also demonstrate a reliance on biblical principles and rhetoric for example the provisions that a president must be a
Natural-born citizen and another regarding witnesses in capital punishment are right right from the scriptures with instructions in chapter 17 in the book of deuteronomy write that down don’t say do they remedy what our three branches of government parallels isaiah 33 22 which says for the lord is our judge the lord is our
Lawgiver the lord is our king it is he who will save us that’s nonsense ezra 724 even sets forth the type of tax exemptions that the founders gave to churches tax exemptions that still exist today well wait a minute what time is it the protections of the due process
Clauses of the constitution the fourth through the eighth amendments were based on biblical teachings even recently retired supreme court justice stephen breyer who was one of the most secular minded justices in the supreme court history openly acknowledges that quote the right to an accused to meet his accusers face to
Face is mentioned among other things in the bible in proof of this breyer cites federal practice and procedure a book which divorce more than 20 pages to documenting the ways the bible directly shaped the due process clauses of the bill of rights numerous founders involved with the constitution’s writings and rama and ratifications
Testified they believed the constitution was directly influenced by god himself for example james madison testified that the constitution was a result of the finger of the almighty hand now we’re getting a finger from the almighty hand in washington and it’s not the right finger okay he said it had to be manifest to
Bring us through this um revolution significantly several founders invoked the unique phrase finger of god which is used in the bible to represent miraculous manifestations of his authority in power alexander hamilton declared that the constitution was a system with which out the without the finger of god never could have been
Suggested and agreed upon amen george washington vowed that the constitution appears to me to be little then then little short of a miracle it will demonstrate as visibly the finger of providence as possible as any possible event in the course of human affairs can ever designate it benjamin franklin believed that the
Writing of the constitution had been quote influenced guided and governed by the omnipotent omnipresent and benefici benefits yeah that one a nice ruler in whom all inferior spirits live and move and have their being christians we’ll recognize the last part of that statement as acts chapter 17.
So basically it’s not really going out on a limb to say the founders definitely did not see the constitution as secularly produced as a document there is no question that many of the constitution’s clauses and provisions are both filled with and inspired by biblical and christian principles it’s
Not a purely secular document as the left tries to assert today it was influenced by the bible and according to john adams it will not work properly if ever it ever becomes purely secular as he affirmed our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people it
Is wholly inadequate to the government of any other i think he’s talking about us in an attempt to document the source of the unique ideas created the longest ongoing constitution in world history political scientists from the university of houston analyzed writings from the founding era covering the year
1760-1805 their goal was to identify the specific political authorities quoted during that period selecting fifteen thousand representative writings and the researchers identified 3154 direct quotations in the works they documented the original sources of those quotations the results showed a singular single source cited far more far more above and away the bible
34 of all of the quotes in that is in the representative writings of the founding era were taken directly from the bible according to the researchers quote although the citations come virtually every part of the bible saint paul was the favorite in the new testament saint peter was the next then
John’s gospel deuteronomy was the most cited old testament book followed by isaiah genesis exodus leviticus and other prominently cited books of the bible were psalms proverbs jeremiah chronicles and judges get this especially in light of cbs cnn’s dubious claims newsweek concluded now historians are discovering that the bible
Perhaps even more than the constitution is our founding document but don’t tell anyone on the left it might start another mostly peaceful riot these things are important for you to know and it’s important for you to state the very obvious i have really good friends from all religions i love the
Way people practice peaceful practices of of religion to worship god i know people who are atheists don’t have they’re just the same as me i mean we have the same rights i don’t want a theocracy i don’t know anybody that does christian white christian nationalists it’s a hobgoblin hobgoblin
See an engine look that up that’s a good word see you tomorrow on the radio good night america you
