Deang Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness -- these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked, Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."

Allan Songer Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Dean was quoting the father of our country! Goerge Washington's farewell address. Washington was a Diest and a Mason. That he advocated so strongly the benefits of religion and the importance it has in buliding and maintaining a strong nation and yet in his personal life was chastised for not attending church has always been fascinating to me. In fact, after giving this address he stopped attending church altogether for the rest of his life. Christians (and even some in my own church) often point to this passage when proclaiming that the USA is a "Chirsitan" nation and thyat it was founded as so. I think that's a very simplistic and very wrong interpretaion. Washington wrote and spoke almost nothing about his personal religious views. Washington was a great leader and my admiration for him is immense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebes Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 A little allegorical tune from one of our great poet patriots: John Prine: I knew a girl who was almost a lady She had a way with all the men in her life Every inch of her blossomed in beauty And she was born on the fourth of july Well she lived in an aluminum house trailer And she worked in a juke box saloon And she spent all the money I give her Just to see the old man in the moon Chorus: I used to sleep at the foot of old glory And awake in the dawns early light But much to my surprise When I opened my eyes I was a victim of the great compromise Well wed go out on saturday evenings To the drive-in on route 41 And it was there that I first suspected That she was doin what shed already done She said johnny wont you get me some popcorn And she knew I had to walk pretty far And as soon as I passed through the moonlight She hopped into a foreign sports car (repeat chorus) Well you know I could have beat up that fellow But it was her that had hopped into his car Many times Id fought to protect her But this time she was goin too far Now some folks they call me a coward cause I left her at the drive-in that night But Id druther have names thrown at me Than to fight for a thing that aint right (repeat chorus) Now she writes all the fellows love letters Saying greetings, come and see me real soon And they go and line up in the barroom And spend the night in that sick womans room But sometimes I get awful lonesome And I wish she was my girl instead But she wont let me live with her And she makes me live in my head (repeat chorus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
