"If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect it's instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity." -Daniel Webster
I have often wondered how any teacher or professor of history could possibly come to the almost hilarious conclusion that the Founders of these United States were atheists and agnostics. What's so funny? Well let's put it this way. Let's think of a hypothetical situation in which you and your best friend are quietly walking in the park on a beautiful sunny day, when suddenly your friend exclaims, "What a lovely red sky!" You laugh. Why? Because in declaring this you friend either displays color-blindness to the fact that the sky is blue, or he knows the sky is blue, but refuses to accept it. Sadly, this same kind of mistake is made every day by teachers and professors in schools accross the nation who must omit so much of the writings and speeches of our founding fathers in order to teach their version of American history. Why? Because their writings, speeches, legislation, and prayers consistently acknowledged God's devine intervention in the affairs of people. For this reason I'm compelled to do my best to post at least one letter or speech of one of our country's founders each day until the year's end.
