I was always told growing up to that there are 2 things one should never discuss in public: Religion and politics. Well guess what I'm gonna discuss both here. As I see it they go hand in glove. You can't or shouldn't have a government free of religion (this is obvious my the current state of affairs in our country). and its is our responsibility as followers of Christ to exercise our responsibility in government.
So I thought I'd go back and review my civics class from 9th grade. After all we are constantly hearing in the media about how the ACLU is suing some entity over they're so called imposing of religion on someone. So I figured I should brush up a bit on what is going on in the government & delve deeper. So we start with the first Amendment of the Constitution.
Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
