The Magnificent Fifty: Foundation of Faith (Pennsylvania)

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (Artist: Susan Cassidy Wilhoit)

Constitution Preamble (1776)

We, the people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, grateful to Almighty God for the blessings of civil and religious liberty, and humbly invoking His guidance.

Folks, is there no such thing as irony? The men and women of the Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) make bold claims about a “godless” Constitution and the godlessness of our Founding Fathers, yet the words above seem to stand in stark contrast to their claims. Again, the “wall of separation” as defined by the modern “intellects” was nowhere to be found in 1776.

The Magnificent Fifty: Foundation of Faith (Maine)

Augusta, Maine (Artist: Susan Cassidy Wilhoit)

Constitution Preamble (1820)

We the people of Maine acknowledge with grateful hearts the goodness of the Sovereign Ruler of the Universe in affording us an opportunity… and imploring God’s aid and direction in its accomplishments.

I wonder if the current leadership of Maine has a grateful heart toward the Sovereign God, Ruler of the Universe? I wonder if they implore “God’s aid and direction” in their government? It’s something we should all be asking ourselves…”We the people…”
