Beers with our Founding Fathers
rest of the ride – it is not nice to just agnostically (without
knowledge) leave a forum until you have gleaned knowledge from it.
I also first mentioned that I am not a secularist – that which is
regarded not as religious, spiritual, or sacred. Each of us has a
foundation in one form or another in religion or spirituality, as does
our country. These have a place in our personal lives – our home,
hearts and minds. To understand and appreciate how our Country
was first settled and founded, we need to understand the important
role of religion, then and now. To ignore this is to ignore our future.
Remember the USSR, and now the continuing direction of the
European Union, or EU (and should be more accurately referred to
as the European Union of Socialist Republics)? The USSR was not
only communist – the archenemy of capitalism, but was also an
atheist state with no religion of any kind allowed. The EUSR is on
the same path – with an anti-Judeo Christian religion slowly taking
over. Other countries, such as China, are communist – but they have
never lost the importance of their religious history, one reason they
survive. The other, to be addressed later, is that China has an
oppressive communist government that also recognizes the political
and economic value of capitalism.
