Editor, Register-Mail: America's Christian roots and heritage run deep within our history. The majority of our founders were practicing Christians. The very first Constitutional Congress was opened with a Christian prayer. It is essential that we know both the good and bad history of our nation if we are to improve our future. In 1892, the Supreme Court of the United States cited dozens of precedents to conclude that ours was indeed a nation based on Christian principles.

There are those who would ignore or censure our biblically based core values in order to further their own agendas. They refer to themselves as "woke" progressives as they deny our Christian foundations. Religious freedom and biblical values are vital to our nations moral character. The founders understood our Christian values from the time of the Puritans who fled religious persecution.

I do not consider myself a Christian nationalist, as some have defined that term, although I do believe that God has blessed our country in the past. Any nation that holds our creator in reverence will be blessed and those nations that reject him will be rejected. Our God is not the cause of mankind's miseries, mankind is.

Side note 1: Much of our history has, admittedly, been abominable — slavery, racial strife and segregation, abortion, sexual immorality, increasing crime, "woke" leftist ideology, etc. As a nation, we are reverting to Old Testament times as we continue to worship idols, accept abhorrent sexual practices, and sacrifice our children as we label the practice of tearing them limb-from-limb "choice." Does "sick" describe what we have become?

Side note 2: Our nation will only be blessed again if we return to God's biblical precepts. (Deuteronomy 28:1-25). We do have choices. We can do what is right in our God's eyes or suffer the consequences. — Thomas Mosher, Victoria
