Daniel Webster (and me) on the Bible

In the early days of this country, the Bible was the center of all aspects of life; socially, politically, culturally,educationally. It was a major tool for teaching; morality and religion were taught in those days.

Daniel Webster: "It is not to be doubted, that to the free and universal reading of the Bible, in that age, men were much indebted for right views of civil liberty. The Bible is a book of faith, and a book of doctrine, and a book of morals, and a book of religion, of especial revelation from God; but it is also a book which teaches man his own individual responsibility, his own dignity, and his equality with his fellow man."

Methinks this country is in a lot of trouble regarding civil liberties, doctrinally, educationally, morally. Christianity is being marginalized (most recently Our Dear Leader's statement the America isn't a Christian nation). The Bible has been so under attack that a few years ago Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice had to defend (all the way to the Supreme Court) a little girl that was reading her Bible on the school bus. School officials said it violated separation of church and state. Say what? How far we have gone, in the wrong direction.
