At Brock's PatCon, I was once again blessed to see my friend Dr. "Point man" Dan. If you ever get a chance to hear this man speak, please do so. If you ever get to meet him on a personal level, even better. In his topics Natural Law remains anchored in my brain. The basis of what this country was founded on. The moral thread that has woven this Christian nation together. The Ten Commandments is essentially that basis of Natural Law. Your preliminary moral compass. A compass to follow and uphold.
If you deem yourself a Christian you realize that every day we are under spiritual attack. Seems trivial at times, but God will chase you and God will prevail if you let him. I heard a little story once that reminds me a little about what I will be eventually sharing with you.
A little boy received a puppy for his birthday. My that puppy loved that boy. So much so that when the boy went to school the puppy followed him. Followed him all the way to the school stairs. At the doors, a teacher's aid stood there and sternly told the boy, "That Dog is not allowed in this school!" The little boy knelt next to his puppy and said, "Sorry boy, you gotta stay outside." The little boy went into the school and the doors closed. The puppy sat there all confused. All of the sudden, God appeared. The puppy looked up sadly to God and God said, "Dont worry, they wont let me in either."
Now on to what my problem is. There is a company that flies under the title Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF). It appears that they have taken it upon their atheist, agnostic and skeptic (freethinkers) viewpoints, and targeted a public school that has the Ten Commandments displayed in every classroom. It would also appear that flying under the use of the Constitution, FFRF threatened the school with a lawsuit.
The Story

So upon reading this disheartening story, I decided to look into this FFRF. Typically any group that flies a website with a .org in my opinion has nothing better to do with their time than to waste others. When I went to their page, I was appalled to find a watermark type image in their page header stating "We The People". Funny how their page hides behind the guise of what appears to be Constitutional. If we dissect the page with their links, you will see the true meaning behind their page. The meaning is to take the Constitution at its definition of each word in a legal fashion as opposed to the Constitution as a Natural Law/Christian based fashion. Their interpretation of the Constitution is the spiritual attack. Over 19,000 members and yet boasting they are the second largest denomination in the nation called "nones" which are no religion at all.
Your daily dose of spiritual attack
HERE
While yes you do have freedom of religion, you also have the freedom to go fuck yourself by telling me what I can or cannot believe in. Having the Ten Commandments on display is no more invasive into ones beliefs than COEXIST sticker on the car that just cut me off. (And yes that has happened to me on more than one occasion) Maybe we should abolish kids from making rainbows in art class. Since we Constitutionalists are such homophobes and know that the rainbow is a symbol for gay pride, maybe no more rainbows. Maybe no more pictures of horses or any animal since there are those that are into bestiality and I find that disturbing as well. The solution here is quite simple. Fuck off and leave people the hell alone, just like most people would rather leave you the hell alone, but you see that will never work.
Race, sexual orientation, religion and so on is ones belief. Your individual right. Your personal Liberty. When one fucks with another's personal Liberty, well then that is an attack. Just because the Ten Commandments hung on the wall, does not mean every soul in that school looked at them or followed them for that matter. Just because the American Flag hangs on a pole doesn't mean the general public looks up to that flag and is thankful for all the sacrifices of the past, present and future. Hell most people walk around in their own little world with everything copacetic until some fucking .org organization has to stick their dick in the soup. When that happens, it just makes it easier for those that believe in God and believe that Jesus Christ is our savior and that he died for our sins, to know who the enemies of Liberty are. I will pray for God to change your heart, but I know deep down it will not. However, I, a Christian, must at least try. Not for my sake, but yours.
In Liberty,
Israel
