Newsweek magazine, on December 27, 1982, in an article entitled, How the Bible Made America, made this revealing
statement, “historians are discovering that the Bible, perhaps even more than the Constitution, is our Founding
document.”

To understand the core values of a nation, one must simply look to the beliefs set forth during its conception, and, in the
case of America, during the transitional years of the American Revolution. Judge for yourself how far we have drifted from
the original intent of early Americans. Consider the following:

Then: If a proposed article for the Constitution was not supported by, or rooted in the Bible, it was not considered. In their
early writings, many of the Founding Fathers quoted or referenced the Bible nearly four times more than any other source.


Now: The Bible is mocked, ridiculed, and discarded.

Then: First introduced in 1766, William Blackstone’s Commentaries on the Laws, served as the legal reference for the
Founders, as well as for many early American lawyers. Blackstone’s commentaries were deeply rooted in biblical principles.
It’s been said that Blackstone was the first to use the phrase, “the laws of nature and of nature’s God.”

Now: “It is unconstitutional for students to see the Ten Commandments since they might read, meditate upon, respect, or
obey them.” Stone v. Graham, 449 U.S. 39 (1980).
