Expressions of Liberty

A commentary on the governmental respect for natural human rights as expressed by the founders of the United States and how it effects us today. I also show how the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution and other related documents are not dead documents in America today, but merely ignored and misused.

Name:
Location: Champaign, Illinois, United States

I am a classical liberal which is considered a type of conservative in these modern days. I am pro-right to life, pro-right to liberty, pro-parental rights, pro-right to property and a number of other natural human rights.

The Establishment Of Secular Atheism And The Regulation Of Religion

I did a blog about the Supreme Court establishing Atheism as the religion of the United States government earlier. I am going to show how this is in practice by comparing the United States to China. Disobedience is handled in different ways in each country. China will jail and execute you while the United States will expel you from school, fire you, or sue you.

Both countries claim to allow religious freedom but as my grandmother used to say “the proof is in the pudding”. In reality both countries the government regulates religion. In the United States this regulation causes religion to be practiced in private just like oppressed religions have always been practiced. Public display is frowned on and penalized when it occurs on governmental property. For example students are not allowed to say public prayers at sporting events. In those cases it is allowed restrictions are placed on it such as telling individuals how to say their prayers. In Indian a federal judge ruled that using Jesus’ name title, etc in prayer on state grounds is illegal.

Never mind the fact that the federal courts have no right to regulate anything as they are violating the Constitution in doing so. Our country was founded on religious tolerance not on the hatred of religion and the regulation of it. I encourage each person to stand up and proudly declare their religion and their willingness to do what is right despite the oppression of our atheistic government. Thomas Jefferson was not afraid to use God as an excuse for passing a law, and despite the fact that he believed Jesus was not the Son of God he still urged others to practice Christian virtues.

The regulation of religion is justified if a religion is found to violate the rule love your neighbor as yourself. It is best left up to the people of the United States to determine when a violation of the law love your neighbor as yourself as occurs. The government should attempt to instruct them in the way they should grow but governments as a whole are very subject to corruption. Our government being no acceptation no matter how we wish otherwise.

I did not bother linking to the evidence I used to arrive at the conclusions I stated here but If you are interested feel to contact me.

Not that I disagree in anyway, but I'd like to see some of your sources, just for my own arsenal. Lord knows everything you stated in that post is true. I don't know if its relevant, but later on in Jeffersons' later years he went back and forth over Jesus' divinity in some of his private writings.
