How can I help but tell of the glorious liberty purchased for me by our forefathers whose only joy was to give glory to God. I suppose you ditch your Christian forefathers as fanatics, but I promise they were preached to and embraced by the circuit riders who gave them their blessings of hope and prosperity. Shame on you for deleting the Name of the Lord, for He is the Only One that gives liberty. I suppose your new-age "sharing" means opinions, but "forcing religious rhetoric" is declaring the Word of God as true. You will see whether it is religious rhetoric. In eternity our ancestors will praise me, but you will be forgotten because you are like those that hated Lorenzo Dow. Perhaps you have some relatives named after him. He was a very famous Methodist circuit rider. When he got the kind of treatment you have given to this American in Jacksboro, Georgia, he cursed the town. One man, a Mr. Goodall, treated him with respect. The town was gone after a year and only Mr. Goodall's house was spared. There is a historical marker near where this wicked town formerly WAS. I do hope we have some Mr. Goodall's listening. For God is the Same, Yesterday, and Forever. You and your friends will no longer be able to leave the Lord out of our American history. It is pouring forth like sweet water for a dying multitude who are looking for the Providences and Strength which George Washington and James Madison sang about in Isaac Watts Divine & Moral Songs, one of their hymn books. You are so high and mighty, I suppose you know what songs they sung. This also is part of my geneaological research, as well as the patriotic numbers that gave them the impetus to wipe up the floor with tories. American history is replete with the glory of God; my house runs over with it, from the 1822 History of the United States by Rev. Charles Goodrich (the historian of Massachusetts) who couldn't tell lies in history books because he knew liars went to hell when they died to the 1620 account called Pilgrims Free Themselves from Communism: Establish Free Enterprise, recorded by the great and good Governor Wm. Bradford. You are granted some grace because of your ignorance of our history, and I, too, was once so ignorant being brought up in public schools, yet I knew something as great as the United States couldn't come about by itself and when I heard of its origin and the prayers of our God-fearing ancestors, I would have made a special room for one like myself to come and tell me all about it, instead of "deleting them from the list." They would have been fed at my table and I would have kissed their feet for saving my soul from humanistic interpretations and evolution's stupid explanations. Leave the list if you like, but it will cost you more than you can calculate now. Better think it over. I daresay this list is not so filled with infidels as you would like to think. As a matter of fact, American genealogy is bound to run you head-on with the Saviour perpetually. To deny it is blindness and stubbornness. One last comment. As for shoving things down one's throat, when the public schools and their Freud-Darwin-Marx theories pay their own and do not demand I pay for them, when the universities get their hand out of the grant machine that also robs taxpayers to shove socialism's religious tenets down our throats, when social security is made voluntary and I see all that volunteer to do get a full rebate with interest at the rate the IRS would charge you, and when all the cowards who move their plants oversees to avoid conflict with the IRS and their tax-exempt shelters are shut down while they jail tax protestors for the same thing our ancestors fought against, a wicked and corrupt religion of atheistic Communism, then we'll talk about freedom from religion. It usually happens that the free-thinkers and infidels always have some inroads to public money and certainly are not for everyone controlling their life, their charity, and their property.
