Our Beloved Country and Christmas

“Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage: We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of thy favor and glad to do thy will. Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought together out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”

[This prayer taken from the Book of Common Prayer talks about the coming together of peoples from many backgrounds into a united people under the direction of Almighty God and Jesus Christ. We are a Christian nation based in a Judeo-Christian heritage. We cannot and must not allow any other religion to become a significant or dominant influencing presence in our nation. We must not allow enclaves of other religions, particularly militant ones, to become established in our nation that separate themselves from Judeo-Christian foundations upon which our nation is based.

Yes, the United States of America has a Constitutional provision that provides the government will not establish a national religion and will allow freedom of persons to practice their religion freely. The framers of the Constitution were not then concerned about Buddhism, Hinduism, or Islam or any other world religion gaining a presence in the United States of America. Times have changed. All peaceful religions have been welcomed.


Throughout the world currently where one finds conflict and intolerance, one commonly finds Islam dominance. One only has to look at what were Christian established nations in Europe to see what happens when millions of Islam believing immigrants flood in. European Christians had to beat back followers of Islam more than once historically with the latest being in the 17th Century. And look now at Nigeria where Christians are being slaughtered by followers of Islam.


“A core tenet of the Quran is that Islam is the final, complete, and the only currently accepted religion in the sight of God after the coming of the Prophet Muhammad. Therefore, while past followers of the original, uncorrupted revelations of Moses and Jesus were considered true believers, contemporary individuals, including Jews and Christians who reject the final message of the Quran, are considered disbelievers, and their path is not accepted by God after the advent of Islam.”
