U.S. SUPREME COURT’S KENTUCKY AND TEXAS DECISIONS
THE RELIGIOUS VS SECULAR TEST
THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF ALABAMA THE RIGHT AND DEFINITION OF RELIGION

FULL TEXT OF THE CONSIDERATIONS

TEN COMMANDMENTS

The Ten Commandments served as a Constitution for the Hebrew people under Moses and therefore became the Civil Constitution or basis of law for the Ancient Nation of Israel. The display of the Ten Commandments at or in court rooms shall be deemed acceptable since they are a foundation of Constitutional Law of Western Civilization, upon which a body of statutes and judgments were based out of which developed Common Law as well as current Statutes and Judgments. The use of the words in public speech or as inscriptions on public property inclusively as “GOD”, “ALMIGHTY GOD”, “GOD OF ABRAHAM”, “JEHOVAH”, “YAHVAY”, “YHVH”, “EL”, “ELOAH”, “ALLAH”, GREAT SPIRIT, “THE LORD GOD”, “THE CREATOR”or other names all signifying a Supreme Being shall not be considered a violation of the Establishment of Religion clause, objections from tiny minorities not withstanding.

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE

The use of this term, Separation of Church and State, as if it were a law of the Constitution of the United States, is clear and obvious fraud being committed by the various Courts and attorneys, especially of those Marxist leaning groups found in the ACLU, are either frauds against the Courts or frauds by the Courts against the Constitution of the United States. No such term exists, except as taken out of context from a private letter written by Thomas Jefferson to a Baptist group explaining the need for keeping government out of the business of religion, but not keeping religionists out of government. Jefferson described it as a wall of separation between religion and the State. Jefferson supported the freedom of religion clause as well as the prohibition to keep government from interfering with the free exercise of religion. Regardless of the correctness of Jefferson’s discussion in this letter, his pronouncements are not part of Constitutional law and are of significance only in examining some of the probable intent or private thinking of Thomas Jefferson. To promote a phrase taken out of context from a private individual’s correspondence with another private individual and use it as a Constitutional idiom is fraud.
Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence which is the Preamble to the U. S. Constitution and it is therefor organic law and part of the Constitution. Jefferson wrote therein: “all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness ...” Thus God as the Creator is our law giver and may not be removed from our law or government.

U.S. SUPREME COURT’S KENTUCKY AND TEXAS DECISIONS

The First Amendment of the U. S. Constitution proscribes FREEDOM OF and FOR RELIGION , NOT FREEDOM FROM RELIGION. The founding fathers understood this Amendment to mean that Government may not touch religion either to oppose it nor to impose it. The United States government, created by the States, cannot define God given rights for the people nor the legal rights of the sovereign States. The American people who are the recipients of such rights may define them within their own States and the U. S. Government has no jurisdiction to contradict laws of State Legislators reflecting these findings including those involving religion. Thomas Jefferson stated:

"[Since] no power over the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, or freedom of the press [was] delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the States, all lawful powers respecting the same did of right remain and were reserved to the States or the people... Thus was manifested their determination to retain to themselves the right of judging how far the licentiousness of speech and of the press may be abridged without lessening their useful freedom, and how far those abuses which cannot be separated from their use should be tolerated rather than the use be destroyed."--Thomas Jefferson: Draft Kentucky Resolutions, 1798. ME 17:381

THE RELIGIOUS VS SECULAR TEST

The U. S. Supreme Court’s use of the excuse “the religious vs. secular test” is a ridiculous farce and an excuse to allow government to impede religion under certain circumstances in clear violation of their own First Amendment to the U. S. Constitution. Major Religions themselves involve history with their historical documents as well as their religious understanding, teachings, practices and symbols. This involves people’s beliefs and reasons for living and even modes of behavior and life style. Indeed, cultural heritage is tightly involved in religion.
The Supreme Court building of the United States has, carved in stone above the entrance, Moses holding the two tablets containing the Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments and the Magna Carta are two bed rock documents of our law in the United States. For the U. S. Supreme Court to use the excuse that their own building’s representations of the Ten Commandments and those of the Texas granite monument on State grounds are okay due to their secular historical value, whereas the same content displayed within Kentucky and Alabama Court houses is somehow more religious is error and political expediency on the part of the Justices of that Court. This action amounts to legalistic “muddying of the waters” to create confusion and necessitate further litigation, rather than rendering a simple Constitutional decision that would once and for all settle the issue. The first and overriding error, however, is the Constitutional violation by the U. S. Supreme Court of their 1st Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, by usurping and taking upon themselves the supposed right to decide what is and is not religion and therefor infringing upon and prohibiting the free exercise of religion.

THE U.S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF ALABAMA

The false and erroneous term “Separation of Church and State” is a corruption of the actual First Amendment. None of the words, “Church”, State” nor “Separation” exist in the amendment. By fraudulently substituting the phrase “Separation of Church and State” for the actual amendment, clever attorneys have been able to argue their cases and trick juries and judges to establish case law precedence based upon a false and fraudulent premise. Arguments using the phrase “Separation of Church and State” which is erroneous and not part of the Constitution, nor amendments thereto, do not establish subject matter jurisdiction for the Court in the recent Ten Commandments case against Judge Roy Moore, and the fraudulent representation of this phrase as part of the First Amendment should be actionable under U. S. Federal Criminal Statutes.

U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson is the person who ordered the Ten Commandments monument removed from the State Supreme Court building in Alabama. On at least two counts has Thompson erred.
1. Ridiculously erring and falling prey to the lies and fraudulent arguments of the counsel of the Anti-American , Anti Religion coalition against the very foundation of American law and has thus misinterpreted the First Amendment by violating the U. S. First Amendment against the prohibition of the free exercise of religion;
2. on the grounds that Judge Thompson’s order violates U.S. Constitution, Art. 6., Sec. 3.- "no religious test shall ever be required" and
3. on the grounds that the Federal Court has no jurisdiction over the matter in a sovereign State where no interstate commerce issues are involved.
U.S. Constitution, AMENDMENT X. (Sovereignty of the State)

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

"School sponsorship of a religious message is impermissible because it sends the ancillary message to members of the audience who are nonadherents that they are outsiders, not full members of the political community, and an accompanying message to adherents that they are insiders, favored members of the political community. " U.S. Supreme Court ruling, Santa Fe v. Doe, (2000).

The error here by the Court is that the individual people have a right to profess their religion in public, regardless of tiny minorities who hold different views and are "offended". There is no right not to be offended. Whether the public school elects not to sponsor a prayer before a football game, individual students certainly may without interference by the public school or the Courts which would be prohibiting the free exercise thereof [of religion] and the Freedom of Speech. The second error by the Court is that the 10th and 11th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution do not authorize U.S. Federal District Courts within a State.
This Nation of the United States of America was formed as a Christian Nation and the States that formed it were Christian States. The people in those founding States whom we call the founding fathers were Christian men and the populations of the States who ratified the Constitution and the Amendments thereto in 1789-91 were overwhelmingly Christian of various sects. That was and is our heritage. The South as embodied as the Confederate States of America is known as the Bible Belt because the people therein are generally even more religious as a region than the people of other regions of the United States. The Confederate States of America is therefor a Christian Nation and the States therein are Christian States..
Prayer may be properly given at the opening of public meetings or events including school events, according to the conscience of the person so administering the prayer, whether a public employee or official or a private person and supplications to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are not only historically established, but are acceptable in a Christian nation, again objections from tiny minorities not withstanding. It is abundantly clear that when the founding fathers used of the term “religion” that this meant to them to be the Christianity of various sects and denominations. This will be shown from the text of the First Prayer in Congress shown below:

FIRST PRAYER IN CONGRESS

Lord, our Heavenly Father, High and Mighty King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, who dost from thy throne behold all the dwellers on earth; and reignest with power supreme and uncontrolled over all the Kingdoms, Empires and Governments; look down in mercy we beseech Thee, on these American States, who have fled to Thee from the rod of the oppressor, and thrown themselves on Thy gracious protection, desiring henceforth to be dependent only on Thee; to Thee, they have appealed for the righteousness of their cause; to Thee do they now look up for that countenance and support which Thou alone canst give; take them therefore Heavenly Father, under Thy nurturing care; give them wisdom in Council and valor in the field; defeat the malicious designs of our cruel adversaries; convince them of the unrighteousness of their cause; and if they persist in their sanguinary purpose, O, let the voice of Thy own unerring justice, sounding in their hearts, constrain them to drop the weapons of war from their unnerved hands in the day of battle! Be Thou present, O God of wisdom, and direct the councils of this honorable assembly; enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundation, that the scene of blood may be speedily closed; that order, harmony and peace may be effectually restored, and truth and justice, religion and piety prevail and flourish among Thy people. Preserve the health of their bodies and vigor of their minds; shower down on them and the millions they here represent, such temporal blessings as Thou seest expedient for them in this world, and crown them with everlasting glory in the world to come. All this we ask in the name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Our Savior. Amen.

The Constitutional Court finds that the United States of America was and that the Confederate States of America is predominantly a Christian Nation. The temporary use of public property for religious expressions during such holidays or special observances should not be prohibited so long as such expressions are generally acceptable to the conscience and customs of a substantial percentage of the local population, objections from tiny minorities not withstanding. Such borrowed use of public property for religious displays or planned religious events such as are historically customary on religious holidays or seasons shall not be considered public appropriations, although no public funding shall be used to pay for such religious displays or events.

For those persons or organizations who profess no belief in the existence of a Supreme Being, no use of public property need be granted to such minorities for their public expressions of disbelief or of anti-Christian objections to majority religious expressions when such objections might be construed as disruptive, derogatory or inflammatory against Christianity by a reasonable observer. Sufferage, however, should be given to non-Christians who believe in a Supreme Being so that in communities with a reasonable minority of such believers, provisions should be made for government not to abridge their freedom of speech nor to prevent the free exercise of their religion.

The term religion in the 1828 Webster’s Dictionary is defined as:

1. Religion, in its most comprehensive sense, includes a belief in the being and perfections of God, in the revelation of His will to man, in man’s obligation to obey His commands, in a state of reward and punishment, and in man’s accountableness to God; and also true godliness or piety of life, with the practice of all moral duties. It therefore comprehends theology, as a system of doctrines or principles, as well as practical piety; for the practice of moral duties without a belief in a divine lawgiver, and without reference to his will or commands, is not religion.
2. Religion, as distinct from theology, is godliness or real piety in practice, consisting in the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men, in obedience to divine command, or from love to God and His law. James i.

Religion will attend you–as a pleasant and useful companion, in every proper place and every temperate occupation of life. – Buckminster

3. Religion, as distinct from virtue, or morality, consists in the performance of the duties we owe directly to God, from a principle of obedience to His will. Hence we often speak of religion and virtue, as different branches of one system, or the duties of the first and second tables of the law.
4. Any system of faith and worship. In this sense, religion comprehends the belief and worship of pagans and Mohammedans, as well as Christians; any religion consisting in the belief of a superior power or powers governing the world, and in the worship of such power or powers. Thus we speak of the religion of the Turks, of the Hindoos, of the Indians, &c. as well as of the Christian religion.

The United States government nor the Confederate States of America, created by the States, can define God-given rights for the people. The American people who are the recipients of such rights may define such for their own States. Do the people have the right to pray in public or in a public building? Of course they do. No man nor nation may forbid the right to pray wherever or whenever a person may please, for they need not them obey. And conversely, no man nor nation may force people to pray nor to proscribe what they must believe either. Thomas Jefferson commenting on the natural rights of man, including beliefs as:

"The evidence of natural right, like that of our right to life, liberty, the use of our faculties, the pursuit of happiness, is not left to the feeble and sophistical investigations of reason, but is impressed on the sense of every man. We do not claim these under the charters of kings or legislators, but under the King of Kings." --Thomas Jefferson to John Manners, 1817.

References are made to the U. S. Supreme Court in regards to their errors as judged by the Constitutional
Court of the C.S.A. Please note that the Constitutional Court has no authority over the Supreme Court of the Federal Union of the United States, but rather over Constitutional questions involving the Constitution for the Confederate States of America. We are, however, at full liberty to criticize the U. S. Supreme Court for their errors and likewise to criticize U. S. District Courts functioning unconstitutionally within the various States in violation of the 10th and 11th Amendments to the Constitution for the United States.
