American Family Association: If You Arent Devoted To Jesus Christ, Youre A Traitor To The US

American Family Association: If You Aren’t Devoted To Jesus Christ, You’re A “Traitor” To The United States

On his program yesterday, American Family Radio’s Bryan Fischer declared that any American who is “working to oppose Christianity and oppose the public acknowledgement of the Ten Commandments” is a “traitor.”

Fischer framed his assertion by citing this quote from George Washington’s Farewell Address: Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labour to subvert these great Pillars of human happiness.

Washington’s point, Fischer insisted, was that only “sincerely devoted followers of Jesus Christ” can be considered to be patriots, while those who criticize or oppose Christianity or seek to curtail its influence upon society are nothing but “traitors.”

“I have no hesitation in saying that today,” Fischer said. “You want to find a traitor to your country, find somebody who is actively working to oppose Christianity and oppose the public acknowledgement of the Ten Commandments; you are looking, my friend, right there at an American traitor.”

several of the Ten Commandments.

Freedom of religion vs No other gods before me
Freedom of religion vs No graven images
Freedom of speech vs Don't use god's name in vain
Freedom of religion vs Observe the sabbath

Of course they hate it.

to undermine our electoral process and steal power.

that atheists shouldn't be allowed to raise their own children. This makes everything clear. I thought we were just degenerate baby-eating heathens. Now I learn we're traitors.
