What is happening to my country? This great land that I call “ home.” Are we no longer free anymore? I want to know when the desires of the few, began to be more important than the laws that were created to serve the majority of the people. Most importantly, why am I losing my rights to speak freely, or to worship my Lord, when and where I choose?
In my history class I was taught that my ancestors created this great nation, so that they would be free to worship or not worship in any way they pleased. I was told that my forefathers fought and died so that I, and every other American could have a nation in which we would be free. The United States is a nation where all, are free to worship in any way that they desire. Where no man is allowed, to tell another, when or how it should be done.
The United States of America is a nation where the majority, is suppose to decide the laws that will affect us all. To my knowledge it is still that way. So why, in the last few years, has the will and the wishes of the few began to change or amend laws that affect this nation as a whole?
Over the last few years, the atheists of this country have stated changing laws that affect this country as a whole. The sad thing is that the political representatives that are supposed to be serving the majority are helping them. When I last checked, the United States was a nation of mainly religious people. The majority of the people living in this country are not atheists. Although all may not be “Christians”, most of the people that are living here, believe in some kind of god. And every one of them
Has, the right to do so. Let me say before I continue, “I have nothing against atheists or any other religion.” In fact I respect anyone, no matter how they believe. What has forced me to speak out is this, I am a primitive Baptist that believes in God, but I don't force my beliefs on anyone. So, why is it that the atheists in my country are forcing their non-beliefs on me, and the rest of my country?
After all, what is good for one is good for the other. Last time I checked an atheist can turn the channel of a TV as I can. The same goes for a radio.
As for the subject of praying in schools or the senate, congress, etc., they make earplugs for that too. You don't have to listen to anything dealing with religion!! So why should people that believe in God, be forced to listen to your desires to not believe in Him? Are we not free to do as we choose?
I say to the leaders of my country, “before deciding to amend laws that are this important to the majority of my country's people, have a national poll done first. After all, then you would really know how the majority feels.
Sex and violence are on my TV every day, and even though I feel it is wrong. We “Christians” allow man's freedom of expression to go on. When men start implementing bans on how other men live, then freedom gets lost!!
