VIRGINIA: Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrinch gave the commentment
address at Liberty University, just a few days after the death of the
university's founder, Jerry Fallwell.
"A growing culture of radical secularism declares that the nation cannot
profess the truths on which it was founded," said Gingrinch. ""We are
told that our public schools can no longer invoke the creator, nor
proclaim the natural law nor profess the God-given quality of human rights."
"Pencils are torn from our own children's hands by expulcating atheists,
who insist that writing with graphite increases the amount of carbon
released into the environment, which increases global warming and decreases
belief in God, because He really controls the weather, not a bunch of carbon."
"In hostility to American history, the radical secularists insist
that religious belief is inherently divisive and that public debate
can only proceed on secular terms. When God comes down to Earth
for a debate, he'll be forcibly ejected by the godless leftists."
"I urge you to seek the joy of life and the after life and to rid
yourself of your dry, miserable, and spiritless materialistic
existence."
"History shows the kind of glorious government that can exist
when the government can practice its religion freely."
