ATTACKS ON THE CONSTITUTION

Sometime ago I mentioned that while everyone was concerned about the 2nd Amendment being trampled the extreme left would be launching an attack on the 1st Amendment.

While our backs were turned and we have been concerned about an imported and potentially deadly disease from China, the left have used our own fears to control our movements, actions and abilities to use those Godly Rights given in the Constitution.

Let's look at the rights given: 1: Freedom from and of religion, 2: Freedom of speech, 3: Freedom of the press, 4: Freedom of peaceful assembly, 5: Freedom of petition.

The first protects Americans from a state mandated religion and allows every American the right to worship however they may.  Nature lovers may worship trees, rocks, flowers or whatever form of nature they wish, Satanists may worship the devil, money grubers may worship gold and silver, witches and warlocks may cavort in hidden glens and cellars, Muslims may worship in mosques and pray five time a day, Jews may gather in temples and synagogues to worship and partake of holy instruction.  Sikes may attend their holy places to share meals and be with those they love and cherish. Christians (Catholic, Protestant, Mormons and others) may gather in cathedrals, chapels, temples for instruction, partake of the Holy Sacrament and share their testimonies with others.

I know I left out a goodly number of beliefs, but you should have gotten the picture by now.

The left have essentially shut down the religious institutions as given in the 1st Amendment.  Playing on our fears and giving jail time and fines if anyone should meet to practice religion.

Freedom from and right to practice religion comes as the first freedom and right given in the bill of rights.  It is therefore the most important right and freedom of the American people.

In 1963 the Supreme Court ruled in Sherbert v Leonard that states could not require a person to abandon religious belief in order to receive  benefits.

Now this may appear to be a long shot, however, with the states banning peaceful assembly in churches, because of the possibility we may contact the dread Covid 19 which has paralyzed  Americans thought and belief process.  

Stay tuned all six of you for more boring thoughts.
