<\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Why Christianity is Part of America\u2019s Heritage<\/i><\/span><\/h2>\nWelcome to the New America. Dubbed \u2018God\u2019s Comic\u2019 by the New Yorker, for 16-years, Brad Stine has been the comedic trailblazer of politically incorrect, Christian and Conservative comedy. His new show, \u2018Brad Stine Has Issues\u2019, covers cultural issues with his signature brand of comedic sarcasm and satire with insight that will be appreciated by everyone who loves laughter, liberty, and the freedom to tell the truth without fear.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nIn America, a guy comes out on a stage and everybody bursts out in applause. You know why? It\u2019s because we don\u2019t know what else to do. For years, people would come out on stage and nobody ever gave us an option. We didn\u2019t know what to do. Sometimes people would just stand there and stare at the guy, until one guy said, \u201cI know\u2026 let\u2019s hit ourselves!\u201d And he began to clap his hands.<\/span><\/p>\nThat\u2019s what applause is \u2013 you are hitting your own body. Isn\u2019t that weird?<\/span><\/p>\nBut, you\u2019ve never questioned it. You haven\u2019t once sat there and said, \u201cThis is weird that we\u2019re doing this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nIt makes me wonder: Would we have accepted anything? Do you think someone went through a lot of trial and error to figure out which part of the body to hit? Did they originally try hitting their own faces? Butts? Tops of their heads?<\/span><\/p>\nWe don\u2019t know.<\/span><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" Why Christianity is Part of America's Heritage alignright wp-image-6668 size-medium\" title=\"Why Christianity is Part of America's Heritage\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/419\/2021\/06\/separation-of-church-and-state-300x204.jpeg\" alt=\"Why Christianity is Part of America's Heritage\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\">The point is that applause, as we know it, is customary. And customs are something we have to be aware of. You have to constantly be aware of what you believe, because someone can tell you something long enough, you begin to accept it as truth.<\/span><\/p>\nTake, for example, the idea of Separation of Church and State.<\/span><\/p>\nPeople have told us that this separation is in the Constitution and we\u2019ve accepted it. But, it has never been in the Constitution!<\/span><\/p>\nThomas Jefferson and all his peers said that we want government out of religion and we want religion to be part of our heritage because this is what made America great!<\/span><\/p>\nDemocracy. The people are supposed to rule. Not one judge who decides to implement his liberal agenda ideology on the rest of us. It\u2019s a democracy. And if the judges are going to start getting political, then they need to be given term limits like politicians and removed if they are not going to listen to the Constitution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/span>Support my ministry at <\/i><\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/BradStine\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Patreon.com\/BradStine<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\nBe sure to subscribe to<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCfYyI1TZPbA0XfP0g8T0Maw\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"> Brad Stine Has Issues\u2019 YouTube Channel<\/span><\/a> so that you don\u2019t miss a moment of Brad\u2019s shenanigans both in front of and behind the scenes!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\nCheck in with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/christianpodcastcentral.com\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Christian Podcast Central<\/span><\/a> for more incredible content like this every day!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We have been told that separation of Church and State is Constitutional and we\u2019ve accepted it.
