Local Arrogant Letter
There was a letter in the local paper that was arrogant and bigoted. I had to answer it.
Dear editor:
In the March 6th edition of the American Press a letter was published as part of the ‘Public Speaks’ page, written by Phil Broussard. I must take exception to these unsubstantiated ravings. Evidently Mr. Broussard knows nothing about history, his country or an organization that has fought for the rights of American citizens regardless of creed, race, religion or other labeling.
Let me begin with his self proclaimed speaking for all Christians and our form of government. Mr. Broussard should spend some time reading and studying the Declaration of Independence, U. S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, and amendments to the Constitution. The writers of these documents, including the Deist Thomas Jefferson, were very careful to use the word “God” only once in any of their writings (Laws of Nature and Nature’s God) and the word “Lord” only once in stating the date, “In the Year of Our Lord.” They knew what they were doing. Nowhere can there be found a reference to Christianity, and they specified that “all men are created equal.” No religion, faith or creed is given preference. This, according to our founding fathers, absolutely refutes Mr. Broussard’s desire to have “Christian judges appointed to the bench” (Supreme Court).
His need for the Ten Commandments is rather amazing, since the Ten Commandments have no background whatsoever to Christianity. These holy tablets were given to Moses and the Hebrews at Mt. Sinai, and are the religious laws that are the basis of the Jewish faith. Mr. Broussard’s version of the commandments are ones that have been changed from the original and have nothing to do with God’s original word at Sinai.
As for the ACLU that Mr. Broussard says is always trying to stop things “decent or Christian,” perhaps he should look at the accomplishments and goals of this organization.
They defend people whose basic beliefs are unpalatable to many people even when they disagree with their ideology, and because they believe in their basic freedom to assemble and express themselves as they choose. When you defend one person’s right to freedom you defend the same for all of us.
It is obvious that Mr. Broussard uses the word “we” when describing his own desire to have everyone believe as he does. This is what is known as arrogance and bigotry, and has no basis in beliefs or pronouncements by the founder of the religion he claims to follow.
