Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him
turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for
he will freely pardon. “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. As the heavens are
higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my
thoughts than your thoughts. [Isaiah 55:6-9]

I used to cite this Bible reference along with this one liner: “We all
have our opinions but Truth is not debatable.” on my early Internet
signature.

I have to thank George Grant, http://www.kingsmeadow.com/blogger.html
for giving me the push to begin this blog. I wanted to respond to a couple
of his entries but he only permitted registered bloggers to do so.
So, I registered.

What’s your world-view? I’ll try to explain mine here. In case you
haven’t already guessed, it hangs a whole lot on the creative Word of
God. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the
Word was God.

Considering recent U.S. Supreme Court 10-Commandments decisions and some relevant conservative Christian thinking:

Gary North, in _Political Polytheism_, says the Constitution from the beginning had already endorsed an “Atheist Regime”. The proof he points to is Article VI paragraph 3, the “no religious oath test”. This requirement along with a required ‘oath’ to uphold the Constitution leaves no authority remaining as sovereign except “We the people”. It’s just taken the courts this long to enforce the text of the Constitution. Gary DeMar says not so. In _God and Government_, Vol 1, he says it’s not yet an Atheist Regime because we still have “in the year of our Lord” in the text of the Constitution. The late Greg Bahnsen would examine these thoughts logically. Whether North is right or not is of no significance. It’s the current amended Constitution which is relevant. If DeMar is right then it should be a trivial exercise to simply impeach those judges who rule contrary to the Constitution. It’s not going to happen. DeMar is incorrect. The United States is under an Atheist Regime. The currently amended Constitution endorses an Atheist Regime. How can this situation be fixed?
The United States needs a new Constitutional amendment replacing article VI paragraph 3 with something much like the original Delaware Charter had: an oath confessing belief in the “Divinity of both the Old and New Testaments”.
