The First Amendment

The idea of a church has been in a gradual process of evolution for centuries. When we read the word church in documents of the past, we will ascribe meaning different than intended at the time it was written. The idea of church, as with many other words and ideas, have change very much over the years. Since the change is relatively gradual, it is not usually noticed. As pertains to political government, law and various social forms, the changes are big. In fact, many of the ideas that were held in the past very much have fallen into obscurity.The idea of a church certainly is different today than in the past.

An establishment of religion, as intended by the first amendment, has nothing to do with what the supreme court and a host of other misinformed power hungry idiots have implied. When the American Constitution was written, the term could not be precisely defined because of the absence of conventional consensus on the point. There certainly existed though a basic coalescence of thought on the matter. An establishment of religion was something that neither the state nor federal government was to control. This is the key to the whole matter. There was something the federal government could not control and obviously that was an unacceptable proposition for the power hungry gluts. Their answer was slick and simple. Change a few legal definitions ( Webster will eventually catch up!) and bingo, they now control the whole show.

Instead of "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion", it is now the US government controlling, largely through the Supreme Court, all religious society whether state chartered or not. Is this illegal? Not necassarily. Is this constitutional? It has nothing to do with the original constitution! The whole problem is; There does not exist in America today a true establishment of religion to speak of. (There are a few folks waking up and attempting to operate within a true establishment of religion.)

So what really is an establishment of religion? It is an integral and indivisible aspect of the self governing community. Now does anyone, anymore realize that such a thing once existed? The original constitution was created and established so that these truly free communities could retain their civil liberty. Does anyone, anymore realize that this is the only proposition of true liberty that ever has and ever will exist? These establishments of religion were not state chartered religious societies as we have today. They were mutually exclusive, self governing societies that had the absolute and inalienable right to decide for themselves what part church and religion would play in the government of their society. The federal and state government had absolutely no business to interfere with the question. By simply referring to an establishment of religion as one of their state chartered organization rather than the real McCoy has created this entirely superficial question of separation of Church and State. Of course the state can separate itself as far as it choose from the entities it creates. The real and true establishment of religion was not created by the state. It was in fact those establishments of religion that created the state. Now that state, the present government of the United States of America, has become a monster that has turned on its creators. The federal government has in fact no moral right to dictate any civil law whatsoever to any free man or woman. But they have and do because we have implicitly and explicitly granted to them that right.

A true church has nothing to do with the present state chartered religious societies masquerading as something to do with real Christianity or whatever tag you place on it. A true church was not the business ever of the original federal government. There already existed a most perfect separation of church and state, that was the whole point of the constitution. They created a government that would leave them the hell alone so they could worship God according to the dictates of their conscience. They then would dictate through due process of law what limited role the state and national governments would play in protecting them in that right. It is none of the business of the government to tell anyone whatsoever what and how they shall worship in their own society. It is not the business of state or federal government whatsoever to determine any civil law whatsoever. Their business is what was granted in the original Constitution period. They have not destroyed the original constitution, they cannot. They have by passed it and operate within privatized law and according to some church and religion.

The federal government is now the church itself, it has usurped that power. The Christians and non Christian can argue forever what their slave masters will allow and it will never have any thing to do with true religion, true liberty, a true church and certainly nothing to do with what was intended as an establishment of religion.

In the mean time the heart of the question is not Christianity though admittedly America certainly was created as a Christian Nation. The question is can people govern themselves and will they?
