AMERICA'S FOUNDING FATHERS HAD FAITH IN A LOVING GOD AND THEY BELIEVED IN PRAYER

Nearly every American is familiar with the following excerpt from the Declaration of Independence

"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness -"

For about 200 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, almost every American school taught the fact that all of America's Founding Fathers were Men of Faith, and most were Christians. There was always ample evidence to back this up and almost nobody ever seriously questioned this teaching.

But things have dramatically changed.

During the last few decades, American public schools have been taken over by militant atheists who detest Christianity. Atheists also have taken over most of the mass media, such as television, the movies, magazines and the Internet.

Atheists claim that only a handful of America's Founders were Christian and that our most important founders did not believe in a God that took an interest in what happened on Earth nor did they pray.

You would think that the atheists must have uncovered dramatic new evidence in order to make such sweeping claims. But the atheists do not have any real evidence to back up their claim. Even worse, atheists are overlooking and suppressing indisputable evidence that America's Founders universally believed in a God that answers prayers and helped humankind so that good will triumph over evil on Earth.

Unlike the atheists, we have proof of what we say. Here is one piece of our proof - the last paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, which was a prayer to God, and says this:

"We, therefore, the Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the Rectitude of our Intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, Solemnly Publish and Declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be, Free and Independent States, that they are absolved of all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political Connection between them and the State of Great-Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved, and that as Free and Independent States, they have full power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."

The last paragraph of the Declaration of Independence was a prayer because it said "appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the Rectitude of our Intentions." If you look up the meaning of the word "appeal" in Webster's or Funk & Wagnall's dictionaries, you will find that "appeal" means "pray" and "prayer."

Furthermore, the Declaration of Independence also said "with a firm Reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence" which means the signers expected God to protect them from King George's anger and armies because King George was in the wrong and the Founders had "the rectitude of their intentions" on their side.

Atheists have flooded the Internet and recent school textbooks with nonsense claiming America's founding fathers did not believe in God or prayer and they have sure been good at lying about it. But the Declaration of Independence is proof the atheists are lying.

There is no reasonable explanation of the wording of the Declaration of Independence other than the simple fact the signers were MEN OF FAITH and they believed in a God that answers prayers and acted to help good prevail over evil on Earth.
