You read this sort of thing all the time from Christians on the net. Kingdom Now and all that, but well beyond that, too. Is the only way to be a Christian in America to declare the government evil because the Constitution doesn’t endorse Christianity?

Mr. Whitehead, who was Jefferson’s god? It wasn’t the Holy Trinity. So what did he mean by “Nature’s God”? Could it be the same ambiguous God Americans worship today?

“One nation under God” right now means Jesus, Isis, Pan, Mammon, Allah, and a hundred others. Jefferson and Franklin helped set the course for this ambiguity. Moral decay tends to happen when your founding document, an almost holy legal text, doesn’t acknowledge the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ. And now the freedom-enumerating Constitution is a dead letter that the authoritarian government pays lip service to.
