Forced Christianity Replaces Science In American Government

The National Science Board is destroyed as the Department of Homeland Security declares Christianity to be the official religion of the US federal government.

Welcome to Stop Christian Nationalism. This episode is coming to you on a Saturday afternoon, which is not a typical time to release a podcast episode.

Everybody's out there, I hope, having a little bit of fun, but I am bringing this podcast to you right now for a very specific reason, and that is because just about 15 minutes ago, some news came out from the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Representative Zo Lofgren, who is a Democrat from California, one of the more senior members of Congress, and what her staff has discovered this Saturday is that President Donald Trump has fired the entire national science board.

Now, the National Science Board advises the National Science Foundation, the NSF, and the NSF funds direct scientific research that can lead to things like new medicines, new technologies that make our lives better, also just helps us to know what is actually true in the world, and what is not. The National Science Foundation also supports science and math and technical education for America's children.

We no longer have a national science board, which means that pretty soon the National Science Foundation is not going to be able to operate at all, and this comes at the same time, that in Texas, the state government of Texas is going to be able to move ahead with its plan to force all public schools, government run schools, to post the Ten commandments.

Post the Ten commandments. What's the big deal with the 10 commandments? Come on, doesn't everyone believe in the 10 commandments? The answer is no, actually, a huge number of people in the United States do not agree with the Ten Commandments.

The 10 Commandments are a religious document from an ancient society on the other side of the world, the 10 Commandments have absolutely no relationship to law or the Constitution in the United States of America.

The 10 Commandments begin like this: “I am the Lord thy God, you shall have no other gods before me.”

That's exactly the opposite of what the United States Constitution says, and the United States Constitution is the source of all law in the United States. The 10 commandments are not. The Constitution says that there shall be no religious test for public office, and that there shall be no laws that establish religion.

Our system of law in the United States is built upon the idea that government is supposed to stay out of religion, and it's supposed to be something that people make up their minds about on their own.

The founders of this country put that into the Constitution, because they were well aware of the history of what happens when you let a religious group run the government. You have bloodshed. You have oppression, you have people being assaulted and tortured and persecuted for nothing more than their own individual beliefs about religion, their refusal to go along with what the government tells them they should be thinking and doing about religion.

The Ten Commandments declare that you're supposed to worship the God of the Bible, and that you cannot worship any other gods.

So what that means is that in Texas, public schools are now being forced to teach children that Christianity is mandatory, and that you're not allowed to belong to any other religion in America.

That is false. That's not what the law says.

The Constitution says people shall have freedom of religion. It's right there in the 1st amendment to the Constitution.

Children in Texas are going to be taught that they don't have the freedom to abstain from religion, to simply lead a private life without any gods over them at all.

No, they're going to be taught that there is a Lord, that is the God of the Bible, and that the most important law in the land is that you have to belong to that religion and worship that God.

The infrastructure for science is being defunded, and science education is being weakened in our public schools. At the same time that religious instruction and religious commands. Are growing stronger.

It's a systematic attack on the very idea that we should, as Americans have the right to think for ourselves.

I want to take a look at a new program from the Department of Homeland Security that is pushing that very agenda.

On Instagram, the Department of Homeland Security put out a message that said this:

“Trust in the Lord, with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding, in all thy ways, acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

That's from Proverbs, chapter 3 verses 5 through 6.

What it essentially means is that you should stop thinking for yourself. Don't go into your own mind and to your own understanding, don't think for yourself. Lean not unto thine own understanding, but just trust in the Lord, the Lord being the God of the Bible, the God of Christianity.

So, just obey the God of Christianity, and don't think for yourself, and in everything that you do, acknowledge the authority of the Christian God, and the Christian God will direct all your paths, will tell you what to do in your life.

Of course, there is no Christian God out there telling anyone anything. Have you seen the Christian God? Does a Christian god show up on the street, show up on TV, say “hello, here's who I am. Here's what I want”? No, that God never shows up. You know who shows up: Christian preachers and Christian politicians like MarkWayne Mullen, the new secretary of Homeland Security.

Let's remember what the Department of Homeland Security is all about.

The Department of Homeland Security is in control of ICE: Immigration and customs enforcement. We've all seen within the last year what ICE is capable of doing. ICE agents are going through America's streets. They're wearing masks, as secret police so that we don't know what their identities are, and they are kicking down doors, they are breaking into people's cars. They are pulling people out onto the street, men, women, children from their private lives, and it's taking them off to a new set of concentration camps, places where their lawyers often do not have access, places where we are getting increasing stories, that there is systematic torture, places where they don't get enough to eat, where they don't get enough to drink.

ICE agents have shot people dead in the street, have assaulted them repeatedly for doing nothing more than protesting the activities of ice of the department of homeland security.

The Department of Homeland Security ended that statement with Proverbs, chapter 3, verses 5 through 6, with the motto: One nation under God.

God never shows up.

What they mean is one nation under the boot of ice of the Department of Homeland Security, which is now a Christian organization in the government.

And it's accompanied by a picture of a Christian church, with another version of that motto, one homeland, under God.

That's not the only message that came from the Department of Homeland Security in recent weeks.

Another message says, “Happy Sunday, America. May God continue to bless our homeland and our people, one Homeland under God.”

Another says, “May Christ's light continue to shine over our great nation, one homeland under God.”

Another one says, “We reflect on the ultimate sacrifice our Savior made for all humanity. Trust in God's plan. Father, into thy hands, I commend my spirit,” with a picture of the crucified Jesus, a painting, of Jesus on the cross.

All this is from the Department of Homeland Security.

Another message from the Department of Homeland Security: “Faith in God and country. It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of almighty God, to obey his will,” to obey the will of Christian preachers and politicians.

This federal government program of promoting Christianity in direct opposition to the ideals of democracy. A democracy is built around the basic concept that the government should obey the will of the people, and that people have the right to think for themselves and to express their opinions, and not to be ruled by any arbitrary power.

The Department of Homeland Security is saying that there is a God. There is one true religion, and they've named it. It's not just in general religion, it is Christianity. The US federal government is on the side of Christianity, and it is the duty of everybody to obey the Christian government.

Obey, comply, or else, because this Christian Department of Homeland Security can come to your door at any time, carrying guns and haul you off and take you away to a prison camp.

There are going to be a lot of people who will tell you that Christianity is a religion of love. I don't see what there is in any of this that's loving. It's controlling, it's commanding. It's oppressive. It's taking away our freedom. It's taking away the ability to educate our children in the basic facts of reality and replacing that with an ancient system that is led by an arbitrary dictator, a god who defines what morality is simply because he has the power to do it, not because he does things right himself.

This is a god who doesn't listen to anybody, who never takes the advice of people, but tells them what to do and tortures and kills them if they do not comply. When we get messages like this from our government, they are telling us what they want to do.

One nation under God, they tell us.

Another message from the Department of Homeland Security says have faith in God and country.

They're replacing facts with fear. Faith is the practice of belief in the absence of facts.

It's the opposite of science. No longer do we have the freedom in the United States of America to think, and speak, and act according to our own individual consciences, but as the destruction of the National Science Board shows us, there will be practical consequences of this movement from democracy to Christian fascism. Fewer medicines, less food.

When ancient superstition and bigotry gains control of a country that controls thousands of nuclear weapons, anything can happen.
