Military chaplains have been ordered to not read a letter from the Catholic Church instructing its parishioners to oppose the Obamacare mandate that faith-based organizations provide funding for contraceptives in their insurance plans.
Not only has the Federal Government told religious institutions that they MUST violate their own statutes, it has gone a step further and prohibited clergy from preaching on the subject!
The justification for this is 'separation of church and state.'
Balderdash. Poppycock. Absolutely ridiculous. Separation of church and state is now used to keep God out of government and government in the Church.
The intention of such provisions in the Constitution was to do the opposite-- that is, to allow God in government and keep government out of the Church.
Centuries ago, agents of the State tried to demand that people believe and worship a certain way. This was frowned upon by our wise Founding Fathers, who instituted a system of government where the State does not control, prohibit, persecute, or reward a person based on religious beliefs.
Unfortunately, we now live in a system completely devoid of God. Instead of it being illegal for a government official to dictate the contents of a sermon in a place of worship, it is now illegal to invoke or acknowledge God as a government official!
How did we fall so far? And how can we get back?
And how can we pretend to be a nation that goes to war for 'righteous' reasons when we clearly have shoved God from our society?
