Timothy Ruppert - Our nation's
cause is liberty - published in the Times-Picayune October 18, 2001
Excited about the public outpouring
of religious behavior in recent weeks, David Frantz concludes, "This
nation has solidified under one cause" ("Maybe there's
a silver lining," Oct. 15).
Indeed it has. But the writer is
confused about why.
The "cause" for which
we have united is not the public declaration of belief in a god
or the transformation of our noble democracy into a narrow theocracy.
We are united in the fight for liberty.
It would be wise for us to remember
that it is our enemy who claims divine guidance and supernatural
justification.
Fortunately, the United States is
a nation that treasures freedom of, and from, religion, as guaranteed
by our godless Constitution.
