The Myth of Separation Between Church & State

Rating:
Summary: Illumination of the Truth
Review: Despite the best efforts by Satan and the spiritual forces that rebel against God, "His truth is marching on."

Dee Wampler does an outstanding job in presenting the truth, not only from his own words, but from the actual words of the leaders that formed the Constitution and this nation. The apostasy that the establishment clause provides for a separation of church and state, particularly at the state and local level, cannot be extrapolated by either the stated wording of the amendment or the intent of the framers. The attack on this "Christian nation" is an agenda set by godless activist judges who have, in fact, unconstitutionally exceeded the authority granted to them and stripped the American people of their legislative liberty.

Wampler's work should sit prominently in the libraries of all genuine patriots.

Review: The defining characteristic of a religious fanatic is the ability to believe nonsense and to go on believing in that nonsense no matter what. In this ridiculous book we have the spectacle of a true believer (who is a lawyer) arguing that the constitutional doctrine of Church-State separation is "a myth" and "a big lie." Well, Dee Wampler is the mythmaker and this book is the big lie. Here's the full text of the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights (that's in the Constitution for all you Christian Reconstructionists out there.)

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. "

In other words; the U.S. government cannot support religion or churches, nor can they infringe an individuals' right to worship as they wish. The government must remain as neutral and uninvolved in religion as it can manage, according to the oft-violated constitution that is. To illustrate, students in public schools can pray on their own or as a group however they wish. No law may be passed that restricts the freedom to worship. But the teachers and faculty, as agents of the state, are not allowed to lead the students in group prayer (because state power, combined with religious ritual is inherently coercive.) It is this second part which Christian Reconstructionists and other opponents of the American heritage are out to destroy. They want a special right to cram their religious views down the throats of *other peoples' children* and that is what this book is all about--why they need and deserve this special right. They want to put Christianity on a special public pedestal and stamp the U.S. governments' seal of approval on it. Personally, I don't believe Christianity needs to be put on welfare.

If you are interested in how the mind of a fanatic 'works,' then buy this book. Otherwise, don't waste your money and your time.
