We watched a video on the American Revolution. I found it interesting to note that our founding fathers based our whole beginnings as a nation around the principles of the Bible and a Christian foundation.
We hear the cry, "Separation of church and state!" so much these days as the basis to take God out of the schools, prayer out of the schools, the ten commandments out of our courts etc. What a bunch of hog wash!
Our founding fathers never meant that statement to mean that God and prayer has no place in our government. They were separating themselves from British rule because they wanted freedom from a state run church! They did not want to be forced to have to belong to a church that was run by the government.
What they did want was a government that respected the principles of the Bible and Christianity. They wanted a government that would submit itself to the guidance of the Word of God and a nation that would do the same. Now that is a far cry from the "separation of church and state" that is pushed now.

I know! It's ridiculous!! No wonder public school kids don't know history. It would mess up liberal agendas. I am excited about teaching my son REAL American history, the true one with God in it. :-)
