To be free is hypocritical,
One nation founded under God,
We all shall meet our maker,
Our forefathers have believed in deterministic measures,
Yet remain, prudent enough to lay out a secular foundation,
For the pursuit of happiness,
Is the equivalent to your position,
On the agnostic continuum,
You cannot force the belief,
` that everything happens for a reason, for reason can not be forced,
On someone who has not reasoned that out for oneself,
That my friends is true freedom,
When one analyzes the nature, of the individuals that came across America, before and around revolutionary times, One will find that many scholars have wrongly deduced the nature of these settlers. There are two chambers in spiritual theater, the first is but a guise, and a prudent institution to hold down the poor through humbling dogma.
The second is often ignored, but is an essential force in moving history,
These two spheres of influence are organized religion, and a mature feeling, for some many argue this feeling is captured in literature, yet feelings flood millions all the time and words can not quite capture, a connection with God. The question is did the individual truly internalize, his faith in God. Through others or through one’s own heart, Simply put, there are those that talk and plot and there are those that will walk the walk One must wonder if past the façade,
Of using God as a rallying cry, the founders were pumped with the same ancient texts,
That one may find in today’s philosophy class, feeling blessed with the opportunity to build a Republic, when feeling oppressed, In 1776 only twenty percent of settlers belonged to a church, scholars often overlook the generational advancement from the religious fanatic, to the prudent businessmen who wanted more than just England’s respect for their religion, but began to think of frontiers, destiny, and taxation. And were willing to die for notions that had not been applied in a world where kings still reigned and barbaric methods still existed as shadows of the dark ages,
Talking about liberty and freedom,
Natural rights discovered through trust in god, omnipotent, favor no formal form of religion,
