The next time you hear from some fundamentalist Christian talking about
how the United States of America was founded by a group of church-going
Christians, as the fundamentalists claim they are, think about this:
The revolution against England was NOT a popular idea. Most people in
The Colonies were quite happy with the way things were going. The
people who were concerned about the taxes were those who would have to
pay the majority of the taxes: the wealthy, the factories, and the shop
owners. The majority of people in this country worked either for
themselves or for someone else. The Boston Tea Party, you will recall,
occurred because of the tax on tea. The fact of the matter is that most
of the people in The Colonies didn't drink tea. It was mainly the
wealthy who retained that habit. It was, though, symbolic for the
continued taxing to pay for the British nobility's excesses.
Fundamentalist Christians have this mistaken idea that when The
Declaration of Independence was signed, everyone stood in line to sign
it. Actually, it took over 5 years for everyone to sign it. That was
well after the Revolutionary War was won. Part of the problem was
transportation the other part was that many of the signers weren't sure
that breaking away from England was the best thing to do. After all,
England was the greatest military and naval power in the world and
their protection was an asset. So what if they taxed The Colonies? The
taxes were necessary for having the British military and navy ready to
defend them.
Now, what about the Founding Fathers of the United States?
Something like 98% of the Founding Fathers of the United States were
MASONS. Their main religious affiliation was UNITARIAN. The rest were
either Catholic or Church of England. If you will look at the Masonic
rolls of Boston (MA), New York (NY), Philadelphia (PA), Richmond (VA)
and a dozen other cities lining the east coast, it reads like a Who's
Who in American History. Many of the historical figures who came to
help The Colonies in their break from England (e.g. Lafayette from
France and Polaski from Poland) were also Masons. In fact, many of the
officers who were fighting on the British side were also Masons.
Masons, at that time, were DEISTS. A deist is one who believes that a
God created the world but that same God doesn't interfere with it. Most
Christians are theists. A theist sees God interfering with or can
interfere with what's happening in the world. (This isn't any different
than the Pagans who believed that the gods interfered with the lives of
humans.) In other words, the Founding Fathers of this country saw that
what happens here was up to them. It wasn't God's will that The
Colonies break away from England. It wasn't God's will that there be a
United States of America. Nor was Manifest Destiny God's will. It
wasn't God's will that the United States eventually become a world
power.
The Masonic tradition at that time was highly steeped in OCCULTISM. The
Masons were all practicing CEREMONIAL MAGICIANS. George Washington,
wearing a Masonic apron, actually performed a Masonic (occult) rite
when the cornerstone of the capital was laid and he placed a box
containing Masonic medallions in that cornerstone. The signing of the
Declaration of Independence was based on astrological timing worked out
by one of the Founding Fathers. July 4th, 1776 at 12:00 noon at
Philadelphia (PA) was very significant. That very time is when John
Hancock placed his signature on the Declaration. They wanted to make
sure that all of the "signs" were propitious for this infant country.
Would Christians go to this trouble? Absolutely NOT! Consequently, the
United States was founded by occultists based on occult principles.
The Founding Fathers did NOT care for people who would manipulate The
Bible for their own purposes. Their disdain for manipulative Christian
religious philosophies and manipulative preachers is well-documented.
People like Jerry Fallwell, Billy Graham, Oral Roberts, Kenneth
Copeland, Gene Scott, Jimmy Swaggart, Peter Popov, Benny Hinn, and
others of their ilk would bring out their anger. Read the works of
Thomas Paine ("Common Sense") and Thomas Jefferson. (Fundamentalists
conveniently over-look Jefferson's scathing attacks on these kinds of
preachers.) Jefferson, himself, was so angry with these kinds of
philosophies and people that he even wrote his own version of The
Bible. The Bible that George Washington and many of the presidents took
the oath of office on was, in fact, a Masonic Bible. That Bible is now
in the Smithsonian.
The Masonic tradition at that time was a powerful influence on the
world. For centuries just about every Pope, Cardinal, Bishop, nobleman,
the royalty, and many generals were Masons. Many important people were
also Masons. Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormons, was a Mason, as
were many of the Baroque and Classical composers. Daniel Boone, Davy
Crockett, Sam Houston, and more than half of the U.S. presidents were
Masons. It was in the middle of the 19th century that THE CHURCH
condemned the Masonic tradition and said they were all a bunch of devil
worshippers. After The Church's condemnation of the Masonic tradition,
the manipulative branches of Christianity took up the banner (even
though they see The Catholic Church as in league with the devil)
because it aided them in their cause " control of the masses.
Another thing you need to consider is that the principles upon which
The United States was founded upon were, by and large, NOT Christian
principles. Freedom of religion is definitely not a Christian
principle. Nor is the right to vote a Christian principle. Free
education for everyone is also not a Christian ideal. Also excluded are
freedom of speech, press, or assembly. But then, slavery was permitted
by Christianity (see Eph. 6:5) and this verse was used by, what were,
the Southern fundamentalists of the time. In essence, the rights of the
individual were NOT Christian but were Masonic ideals.
It's time that the facts be presented. Most people will not take the
time to research and find the truth. Fundamentalists are always going
around talking about The Truth, but when they are confronted by it they
refuse to accept it. There are two types of ignorance: The first type
of ignorance is that brought about by nature where an individual
doesn't have the mental capacities to seek and/or understand it. The
second type of ignorance is chosen ignorance. This is the byword of
fundamentalist Christianity. Through half-truths (half-truths are whole
lies), purposeful semantic manipulations, and feigned knowledge and
wisdom they "trap(ped) you with gile (lies)" (as Paul said to the
Corinthians). The Truth is out there. You need to find it for yourself.
No one has it for you.
