DCF,
You wrote:" Virtually every one of the 55 writers and signers of the United States Constitution were members of various Christian denominations: 29 were Anglicans, 16 to 18 were Calvinists, 2 were Methodists, 2 were Lutherans, 2 were Roman Catholic, 1 lapsed Quaker and sometimes Anglican, and 1 open deist--Dr. Franklin who attended every kind of Christian worship, called for public prayer, and contributed to all denominations.
"Neither...let it be overlooked, that public utility pleads most forcibly for the general distribution of the Holy Scriptures.
The doctrine they preach, the obligations they impose, the punishment they threaten, the rewards they promise, the stamp and image of divinity they bear, which produces a conviction of their truths, can alone secure to society, order and peace, and to our courts of justice and constitutions of government, purity, stability, and usefulness."
The last paragraph you spoke of is CONTROL, I believe the very point Sam is trying to make. By the way, many of those signers of the Constitution were also members of the Freemasons, Illuminati, and similar organizations. Maybe the only one who can control us is us, by the 'truth' of our choosing.
Peace,
Darrin
