USA.......Influenced By The Word

The United States of America is a secular country.  It is not a theocracy.  It never has been.  It never will be.  It has operated under the persuasion inspired by the words of Jesus:  "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's."  The nation does not need to be "religion based" to have been influenced by the Word of God.  "Religion based" can be a confusing term.  I prefer to use the description "influenced by the Word."  It makes more sense.  Look at all of the monuments in Washington DC that make references to God and the Bible. We do not live under theocratic rule, nevertheless, every session of Congress opens with a prayer. We have military chaplains. Our coins and paper money say "In God we trust." Nearly all of the large universities of our great nation started off as Bible schools. All of our Presidents of the USA had knowledge of the Word of God. George Washington said that "it is impossible to govern a nation without the Word of God." Isaiah 33:22 is the basis for the 3 branches of government as stated in our Constitution. Additionally, "We are endowed by our CREATOR with certain unalienable rights." (caps mine) If our creator gave us those rights..........then the government is not able to take them away. At least that is what the founders thought. The facts are the facts, they are right in front of us. There is a whole lot more to say about this.
