"It is apprehended that Jews, Mahometans, pagans, etc., may be elected to high offices under the government of the United States. Those who are Mahometans, or any others who are not professors of the Christian religion, can never be elected to the office of President, or other high office, but in one of two cases. First, if the people of America lay aside the Christian religion altogether, it may happen. Should this unfortunately take place, the people will choose such men as think as they do themselves. Another case is, if any persons of such descriptions should, notwithstanding their religion, acquire the confidence and esteem of the people of America by their good conduct and practice of virtue, they may be chosen. I leave it to gentlemen's candor to judge what probability there is of the people's choosing men of different sentiments from themselves.�

it becomes ever apparent to me
as time unfolds its mystery
the average mentality on the street
is carnal at its best and incomplete:
living for today
throwing life away
revival
of survival
seems to be
an arch-rival
without bible
never free

and the ones who point the finger and cause ignorance to linger are the ones who inwardly do not believe
that the God of all creation wouldn't leave
and they're starving for the bread they spew and heave
for they hate the only cure for their disease
and the quiver of the wisp is ill-at-ease
the crumbling artifice that we call man,
the self-afflicted scourge upon the land
will never rise above this word ignored
until he bows and worships Christ, the Lord.
