The 1st Amendment – The Lie of Separation of Church & State
Here is today's Truth for Patriots, with founder Tom Evans…
The doctrine of "Separation of Church and State" that first appeared in 1947, supposedly comes from the 1st Amendment, adopted in June 1790. It reads:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
Hmmm, did you hear "Separation" in that?
Now consider revisions leading up to the 1st Amendment, keeping in mind that "religion" & "Christianity" were often used interchangeably back then:
"Congress shall not make any law… establishing any religious sect…"
"Congress shall make no law establishing any particular denomination of religion…"
Clearly, the intent of the 1st amendment was to prevent the Federal Government from endorsing one particular denomination of Christianity; NOT separation.
