My previous post about Roy Moore speaks to a growing problem with Americans and their history. I noticed this around the 4th of July, when I heard many conservative Christians talking about the Constitution and Declaration as if they were the same thing. Or perhaps, the Declaration as preface to the Constitution. But the Declaration needs to be understood as a propaganda piece. A beautifully written propaganda piece to justify a revolution against England. But it is not the law of the land. I am sure that many conflate the two because the Declaration mentions God while the Constitution does not. Perhaps that is on purpose......
