WHY WE MUST FIGHT FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
September 3, 2003

Our religious liberty and the liberty that originates in higher law is the foundation upon which America was founded. America’s founders defied the rule of law of King George III because of the tyranny he created over the states.

The higher law, or you might say, “the laws of nature and of nature’s God” is the source of our liberty and our morality. The principles based on the laws given by God to His people have been translated through the centuries as the basic principles of government.

For the atheists and radical revisionists who are out to remove the Ten Commandments and every trace of God and morality want desperately to rewrite the Constitution, especially the First Amendment. They have attempted in everyway possible to make the First Amendment state: “separation of church and state”, but it is not there!

The battle over the Ten Commandments has drawn a line in the sand, and I believe with all my heart that we will loose all of our religious freedom if we do not fight this battle and win. We can no longer give in to the demands of ACLU or
to the separation of church and state organizations. Rest assured it won’t be just the Pledge that our children won’t be able to say. Along with Christmas carols that are now prohibited, so will “God Bless America” be removed and soon “In God we trust” be denied by our courts.

This is judicial tyranny; for judges do not make law. They interpret the law.

Only in totalitarian regimes do authorities forbid public officials from acknowledging Creator God. In China for example, pastors are required to be licensed and censored by the state. Is that what we want?

God has brought us to the edge of a roaring river. We can step into the water, trust God and fight for religious freedom endowed by one Creator, or we can shake in our boots and out of fear, accept the judicial tyranny that will destroy our Constitution and end America’s sovereignty.

Judge Moore has written a paper on “Why I’m standing up for the Ten Commandments in Alabama.” If you would like a copy of this special document call or email me at Family Concerns and we will send you a copy.

An excerpt from his message includes these words:

“My decision to disregard the unlawful order of the federal judge was not civil disobedience, but the lawful response of the highest judicial officer of the state to his oath of office. Had the judge declared the 13th Amendment prohibition on involuntary slavery to be illegal, or ordered the churches of my state burned to the ground, there would be little question in the minds of the people of Alabama and the U.S., that such actions should be ignored as unconstitutional and beyond the legitimate scope of a judge’s authority. Judge Thompson’s decision to unilaterally void the duties of elected officials under the state constitution and to prohibit judges from acknowledging God is equally unlawful…

No judge or man can dictate what we believe or in whom we believe. The ninth and tenth Amendments are not a part of the Constitution simply to make the Bill of Rights a round number. The ninth Amendment secured our right as a people. The tenth guaranteed our right as a sovereign state. Those are the rules of law.”
