Although President Obama may be confused on what kind of country he is the President of, his ignorant statement does not in anyway change the fact that he is both undermining and marginalizing the Christian faith. The evidence of this being a Christian Country is deep rooted in our history and is well documented. The founding fathers have made the claim on different occasions that it is by Father Yahweh's hand that we have been a glorious Christian Nation.
Examples of how our forefathers called upon and gave credit to the Father only begins with the Mayflower Compact documented during the arrival of the Pilgrims to Plymouth, Mass in 1620. Some state charters also mention the Christian faith, for example:
On March 4, 1644,
Charles I issued the Charter for the Colony of Massachusetts Bay. It mentioned the
orderly conduct of the colonists to the knowledge and
obedience of the only true God, and the savior of
mankind, and the Christian faith.
The Rhode Island Charter directs the civil government to “be in the better capacity to defend themselves in their rights and liberties against all enemies of the Christian faith.”
The April 3, 1644 records of the Colony and Plantation of New Haven read, “It was ordered that the judicial laws of God, as they were delivered to Moses . . . be a rule to all the courts in this jurisdiction in their proceeding against offenders . . .”
There are thousands of other documents that are ignored or marginalized by teachers and other leaders in our land. The most compelling reason why someone should realize that we are a Christian Nation is because Congress has declared us a "Christian Nation" in 1982. Public Law 97-280 - Oct. 4, 1982
97th Congress 96 STAT. 1211
Sorry Mr. Obama you should really study our history before you make yourself look silly.
I pray that the Father does not destroy this country due to the lack of ungodly leadership that we possess. Praise the Lord for all that he does!
