Читатели спорят о религиозных упоминаниях в Конституции и критике вакцин

References to god in Constitution are nonspecific Mr Kilmer seems to have some misdirected understandings. The fact that there are references in the Constitution to “God”, “Nature’s God”, “Creator”, etc clearly indicates an effort to NOT specifically / only mean “the God of the Bible”. Writings by many at that time make that clear — most notably in the Treaty of Tripoli, which includes the phrase “the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion” and was approved by President Washington, and signed by President Adams. If the establishment clause means ONLY freedom OF but not FROM religion is he saying that — eg it would be OK to pass a law preventing (eg) a Buddhist or an atheist from holding a government job? Does it mean that the gov’t could somehow require everyone to attend worship services? Does that mean that one faith’s law can be imposed on everyone? (Keeping in mind that the same groups who rant about “sharia law” are the ones wanting to impose church law of some sort.) The wall of separation has to go both direction because if the government isn’t separated from religion, it’s inevitable that religion will not be separable from government. (To be clear, that doesn’t mean that one’s beliefs, etc won’t influence one’s position on issues but that laws and regulations can’t be based on one person’s (or one group’s) doctrine.) — David Schlosser, Eureka Attacks on Fauci by MAGA followers is shameful Donald Trump’s MAGA followers should be ashamed of themselves for attacking Dr. Anthony Fauci and threatening to put him in prison. Many more people would have died during the Covid pandemic if it had not been for Dr. Fauci. He mandated wearing masks, social distancing and washing hands, all of which were rejected by the Trump administration. Trump actually made his point clear when he removed his mask during a public outing. Instead he advocated such crazy ideas such as using bleach as a cure for Covid. Trump’s actions led to over a million needless deaths. He is the one who should go to prison rather than Dr. Fauci. — Mary Jane Jennetti, Eureka Medical advice should come from doctors I just heard Stephen Miller, while promoting RFK Jr.’s anti-vax crusade, say children get 70 to 90 shots, but children, up to the age of 18, following the standard US recommendations, receive 30 individual injections. Miller confuses the number of shots with the number of vaccines. Many vaccines are for multiple diseases, DTaP, MMR etc. As a result of the current administration’s no shots for kids attitude, we now have the highest rate of measles cases in 35 years. Infants are 81 times more likely to develop vitamin K deficiency bleeding if not given Vitamin K injections, of them 1 in 5 die. Refusals to give newborns a vitamin K injection has doubled in some areas, leading to more infants dying from brain hemorrhage. Vaccines eliminated smallpox from the planet. We have eliminated 2 of the 3 wild strains of polio, with the last strain occurring in only 2 countries this year, 15 cases in Afghanistan and 3 in Pakistan. We are very close to ending this scourge forever, then no one will need a polio vaccine just as we no longer need a smallpox vaccine. If there is just one active case and a lot of unvaccinated people, we could have a polio pandemic with millions dying. Miller graduated from Duke University having majored in Political Science, NOT Medicine. RFK jr. is a lawyer, NOT a Doctor. When you are sick you go to a doctor, NOT a lawyer or politician. The nation should do the same. — Larry DePuy, Eureka Reader replies over Christianity in founding Larry DuPuy in his letter (8/7/2026) trying to rebut my letter (8/3/2026), again missed the mark. The Declaration of Independence itself identified “Nature’s God,” below as the “their Creator.” (See Genesis 1:1; 1:26-27). The Committee overruled Jefferson’s original rough draft which read, “that from that equal creation,” to read, “from their Creator”! The Apostle Paul declared that the Creator is separate from His creation,” refuting the beliefs that “nature is god,” or that, “All is one and one is all.” He wrote: “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, … so that they are without excuse… who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator…” (Romans 1:18-25). Consider how God humbled Job when He revealed Himself to him out of the whirlwind as the sovereign Creator: “Who is this who darkens counsel, By words without knowledge?… Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?” (Job 38:1-4; See Chapters 38-42). Mr. DuPuy did not refer to the other name of God in the Declaration, the Supreme Judge of the World. We will all stand before Him for anything that Christ does not approve. Also, the democrat socialists, by their own statements and cited influences, have shown they are against America, Jews, capitalism, property rights, success, police, borders, etc., and want full Marxism, which has failed and has had tragic results everywhere it has been tried. — David Kilmer, Ferndale
