The secular progressive assault on our freedom of religion continues its march. On April 15, 2010 U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb ruled the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional.
Quoting from her ruling; "It goes beyond mere 'acknowledgement' of religion because its sole purpose is to encourage all citizens to engage in prayer, an inherently religious exercise that serves no secular function in this context,"
The First Amendment to the Constitution reads as follows:
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.
Go to the links of the proclamation for the National Day of Prayer in 1952 and 1988 and review proclamations. Then ask yourself do these proclamations:
• Establish a religion?
• Prohibit the free exercise of religion?
• Abridge the freedom of speech?
• Abridge the freedom of the press?
• Abridge the right of the people to peaceably assemble?
• Abridge the right of the people to petition the Government for a redress of grievances?
It defies my sense of reason how anyone can answer the questions above with any answer other than, No. If the answer is no, then pray tell me how it is unconstitutional?
The explanation can only be that the secular progressive’s will prohibit the free exercise of religion. They will abridge the freedom of speech. They will abridge the right of the people to peacefully assemble. They will act unconstitutionally.
Make no mistake about it, we are engaged in a spiritual war.
And our primary weapon is…..Prayer.
