Well, yeah, separation of church and state, but that doesn't mean separation of righteousness and state or morality and state.

Who in their right mind would say, I want to be governed by people who have absolutely no connection to morality?

That's insane, right?

I don't know that an executive order would be the way to do it.

I would prefer, just aside from a constitutional amendment, there are things that I think we could do, like a joint proclamation of Congress.

So all Congress has to do is pass a resolution saying that it is our conviction and it is the opinion of the Senate and the House that Jesus rose from the dead.

And have the president sign it.

That would keep the liberals busy for a while.

Because you're not doing anything that requires anything of anybody.

But you're simply testifying.

Because he's not constitutionally prohibited, is he?

He's not Congress.

No, he isn't.

An executive order could be something like, I am directing all the offices in the executive branch to celebrate Christmas and the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But his executive orders have to be directed to entities he has actual authority over to tell them to do something.

Right.

So I would be in favor of something like that.

Right.

Yes, and it would be pretty festive for a couple of months afterwards.

Yeah, a few years ago, our publishing house here, Canon Press, published Stephen Wolfe's book, The Case for Christian Nationalism.
