My opinion (for what it may not be worth if we keep going in this direction of keeping God out of our public and Government) is that secession and divorce are not necessary. However, brutal critical thinking and harsh moral judgment may be required for people with sharp minds and soft hearts to have a home.
I dislike leaving the Constitution undefended, and I damn sure don’t like the idea of a stupid person chasing me out of my own house when I am more than capable of kicking their ass hard enough to make into a fur collard necklace around their neck.
Do that to enough stupid people, and dishonest people will think twice before acting stupidly. Or vice versa depending on who is more convenient to make an example out of for the other group that “nice guys” like sam harris want to play doctor therapist to get away with the rape and murder every unGodly person is guilty of.
One of the most evil acts we see today is when kids are used in war and made into walking suicide bombers or human shields. Such as the hamas and palestinians do without a second thought while launching rockets from hospitals at their Jewish neighbors.
And it is pretty sick and evil to see a custodial battle between mom and dad where one parent plays the child against the other in no morally different manner. And at some point, the kid either wises up, or blows out from that kind of abuse in a very spectacular manner to be either the best, or worst example of such an extreme environment.
And when we talk about a Convention of the States… where we sit with a mediator between all of us to play doctor on the Constitution…. Who the hell are we trusting to play doctor? Is that person going to have the same or miraculously better enlightened values and principles as our Founding Fathers did, willing to sacrifice their reputations, fortunes, and lives for the good of everyone?
Or will they be looking out to serve their own self interest at the cost of others and to hell with the honest person at the table who is without guilt?
George Washington said it best when he stated that our country cannot be governed Rightly without the bible.
And you won’t find a person who is not living by God’s Word and applying every part of it in their life who says otherwise. And all of us who are doing that, will all tell any person that is not… you can’t even regulate yourself without God and His Word in your life.
The greatest person that ever lived in history with no contest, came out of the Israelite tribe of Judah, from the house of David and was born in a barn in a back water town named Nazereth. Jesus was all things good and at every field of application of skill, no one was better. The greatest Warrior to ever live that any warrior worthy of the title would bow to and serve without hesitation, and the wisest of anyone ever regarded as enlightened to make king Solomon look like a village idiot.
God appointed His Son to be our mediator, and our Councilor and Healer. It isn’t hard to figure out how to get on His good side. But if you want to be stupid and dishonest… I have little doubt where He will send you.
Our country has been through three major succession attempts. The first when we seceded from the tyranny of the british empire which had corrupted the Image of God and violated God Given Rights.
That led to our Constitutional Convention and mediating a social contract between We the People and God. And the best we could do was frame the contract in a manner that had zero disagreement with God’s Word, and affirmed significant portions.
The second attempt at secession was between Texas and the Spanish empire that eventually led to Texas being adopted by the United states under the same social contract.
Then we tried that trick a third time, and we got slapped silly over trying to divorce ourselves.
Meantime we have been in a lot of other foreign battles. Some were obvious threats to our country, others not so much. And where we suffered the most has consistently been when we compromised our morals.
So I have a little reason to Cheer that I think God has had His say and it is going to His straight and narrow way and not our highway to hell. Because I do think there is enough people in our country that can do math, and may understand God’s Word.
