A Nation of Humanity

Educate and inform the whole mass of the people…  They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.  -Thomas Jefferson

What if we define ourselves as a Nation of Humanity?  Humanity is defined as “the quality or state of being human”.  Our nation’s laws should emphasize that worshipping each other is far more important than honoring each other as Christians.  We are all human beings with our own thoughts, opinions, and ideas.  Each and every law in every state should govern as such promoting the health and welfare of every person to be the utmost priority. 

The abolishment of slavery should have abolished any state to state law where any man, woman or child could be treated differently.  Every person regardless of their race, gender, or sexual preference should be able to travel north to south, as well east to west in this beautiful country of United States without the fear of discrimination and prejudice.  And if the Constitution needs to be amended to reflect such a law, then by God do so.  Any person who defies any other person the rights to equality and freedom that they themselves enjoy, should be ashamed.  Proclaiming to be better than others requires a superhuman belief of oneself, which taints any belief in the life of a man named Jesus.

It’s daunting to think that such a mindset of ignorance is still so prevalent in the twenty-first century.  The greed, control and power of religions and government have been so embedded in our nation’s culture that too many members of society just accepted the created truths that dictates how they think, act, and treat others.  How has such disgrace towards other human beings been going on for so many centuries?  Our society needs to be asking the questions and learning the lessons of Hitler, Stalin, slavery, and the abuse of children all over the world.
