12/16/2025 – AmericanMinute – “The Bill of Rights and Religion in the States that Ratified it.” / Rich article!: Politics is not our savior!, but, there is no direction we can turn in life that the Lord does not speak to. / Post 1 of 2/ Excerpts and comments below…
A sign of a rich article is when attempting to capture key excerpt passages turns out to be overwhelming task. But here are the first two that I stopped with:
“Ronald Reagan addressed the Alabama State Legislature, March 15, 1982:
“The First Amendment of the Constitution was not written to protect the people of this country from religious values; it was written to protect religious values from government tyranny.” “
…
“In a figurative sense, activist judges took the handcuffs off the wrists of the Federal Government and placed them on the States.” (comment: That would be elitist tyranny! How can a christian not be an “anti- federalist” ? If “man is basically evil”, the handcuffs have to be on the federal government!) No?

Stay tuned for post 2 of 2 : Just one grievous illustration amongst countless examples of how our first amendment rights are under a barrage of attacks from the devil and his minions. The devil is not a marxist nor an islamist (sharia law) , they are just tools that he continues to use for incomprehensible evil purposes. We are easy prey when we turn our backs on the Lord and his incomprehensible love and grace.
