"Our judges are as honest as other men, but not more so . . . and their power the more dangerous, as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The Constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that, to whatever hands confided, with corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots."Thomas Jefferson, "Author of the Declaration of Independence
And so they have, Mr. Jefferson. So they have.

By its inherent nature, government will degenerate into despotism and destruction of God-given liberties. This process of degeneration into despotism follows the philosophies that alter the mindset and morality of the governed.

Countdown to Judicial Despotism
Religious Background
Medieval Europe was “Christian” in worldview, most European nations having a state church. Atheism or a confused mixture of Christianity and Agnosticism was also prevalent among the intelligentsia. State churches were alternately Roman Catholic or one form of Protestantism or another, depending largely upon the religious preference of the Monarch in power at the time. Perhaps it was the continual squabble over control of state “Christianity” that caused the rise of many dissenting groups with various interpretations of Bible doctrines. These groups were referred to as the Dissenters. In such an atmosphere of religiosity in the name of Christianity and the philosophical analysis of religion in general, the introduction of serious deviation from Bible doctrine was inevitable. One such heresy was Socinianism later to be refined to Unitarianism.
1539-1604: Faustus Socinius, Italian Theologian, taught that there is only one single Divine Being; that the Holy Spirit is merely a divine force, not a Person; and that Jesus Christ was a sinless man, but not divine. Salvation, he believed, was gained by living by the example of Jesus Christ.
1652: John Biddle, “Father of English Unitarianism,” established a small Socinian congregation in London. This branch of Unitarianism was still known as Socinianism and its adherents were known as Socinians by America’s Founding Fathers.
1592: The Congregationalists
Congregational churches originated during the Puritan reformation of the Church of England. Their origin has been traced back to 1592 to the English theologian and Dissenter, Robert Browne. The single “congregations” were Protestant Christian, each congregation being autonomous, and running its own affairs without denominational oversight.
1648: In the early 1600’s, fleeing persecution in Europe, the Pilgrims brought the Congregational Church from England to the Plymouth Colony, and the Puritans brought the same to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In 1648 these two were united by the Cambridge Platform.
18th century America: The Congregational churches figured powerfully in colonial New England, producing such renowned theologians as John Cotton, John Owen, and Jonathan Edwards. The majority of America’s Founding Fathers from New England were Congregationalists, while most of those from southern colonies were Anglican. Patriots John Hancock, Paul Revere, Samuel Adams “Father of the American Revolution,” John Adams, and others were Congregationalists. These New England Congregationalists fanned the flames for the American Revolution. “The highest glory of the American Revolution was this; it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.”John Quincy Adams, 1821, Sixth President of the United States, Son of John and Abigail Adams, Signer of both the Declaration of Independence and the U. S. Constitution, Second President of the United States
Congregational Christians founded most of the first universities in the United States, with emphasis on preparation for Christian ministry or law – Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Williams, Bowdoin, Middlebury, Amherst, Carleton, Grinnell, Oberlin, and Pomona. But a weakness in church structure soon opened the door for doctrinal error that planted the seed of dissolution of their newly founded Republic.
Without denominational oversight to maintain doctrinal purity and uniformity, the autonomous single congregations were vulnerable to false prophets with leanings toward Unitarianism and other deviations from Bible doctrines.
Unitarianism, then sometimes called Socinianism, was alive in America at the time, but its doctrinal error played no part in establishing the government of the United States upon its Biblical foundation. “I pray you to read Massilon’s sermon on the divinity of Christ, and then the whole New Testament, after which be a Socinian if you can.”John Quincy Adams, son of Abigail and John Adams, who signed both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
The Way we were:
July 4, 1776: The Declaration of Independence. The American colonists declared their independence from British rule and defined the foundation principles of American government. Rejecting both the Atheism already prevalent in Europe and the apostasy beginning to pervert the Church in America, they made the Bible the bedrock foundation of our free self-governing Republic. “From the day of the Declaration…they (the American people) were bound by the laws of God, which they all, and by the laws of the Gospel, which they nearly all, acknowledged as the rules of their conduct.”John Quincy Adams.
June 21, 1788: The United States Constitution ratified. On this date the requisite number of states had ratified the U. S. Constitution, defining the structure of American government and limiting its powers. These early Americans recognized a free People as the sole owners and overseers of both their Constitution and their government.
“The people alone are the absolute owners and uncontrollable movers of such sovereignty as human beings can claim to exercise; subject to the eternal and unchangeable rules of justice, truth, and good Faith.” G. M. Dallas, Vice President of the United States, 1847
“A constitution of government is addressed to the common sense of the people, and never was designed for trials of logical skill, or visionary speculation.”Joseph Story, Justice, U.S. Supreme Court, 1833
From the Constitution of the United States:
Article I, Section 1: All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
Definition: (from Webster’s New World Dictionary legislative (lej’is la’ tiv) adv. having the power to make laws.
Note carefully: Congress, – your elected representatives – and Congress alone, has your Constitution’s authority to make federal laws. Presidents and Judges are in serious violation of your Constitution when they presume to enforce pretentious “laws” which have not been enacted by Congress. For presidents this is the act of a tyrant; for federal judges nothing less than “high crimes and misdemeanors,” both impeachable offenses.
The Constitution: Article VI, Paragraph 2:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof... shall be the supreme Law of the Land… And who alone has your Constitution’s authority to make federal laws?
Before early twentieth century your Constitution in its plain English, common sense language, for the most part, was honored and respected by all branches of the federal government. But in 1859 a new and evil religious doctrine had been introduced to a troubled world. It “took like wildfire,” and it has kept the world in turmoil ever since.
November 24, 1859: Charles Darwin, English naturalist, published his famous book, “Origin of the Species.”Darwin had been brought up in a wealthy Unitarian family. His father enrolled him in Christ College, Cambridge with expectations that young Darwin would be educated for ministry in the Anglican Church. However, at Cambridge he soon became immersed in his scientific studies and abandoned his theological pursuits.
Darwin spent his entire life studying life forms - mostly animals - from the simplest to the complex. He and many others in the scientific community of his day spent many years trying to prove that all life, including human life, evolved from a single simple life form without the intelligent design or intervention of a Creator.
Darwin denied being an atheist, but forthrightly confessed to being an agnostic, rejecting the cardinal doctrines of the Bible. On the other hand, the first five versions of Origin of the Species give hints that he could never fully escape a sense of the existence of God.
Darwin’s theory of evolution has been analyzed and can be categorized as observable facts, inferences, and unprovable theory. While some changes within a specie is evident, particularly in the animal kingdom, no evidence exists that one specie has ever evolved into a new and different specie. “If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down. But I can find out no such case.” Charles Darwin
The burden of proof is upon Darwin and the Evolutionists. (It is they who opened the subject) They have not, and cannot, prove that any specie exists that has been “formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications” (i.e., by self-evolving, without a Creator, from a lower life form into a new and different specie).
"When we descend to details, we can prove that no one specie has changed (i.e., we cannot prove that a single specie has changed): nor can we prove that the supposed changes are beneficial, which is the groundwork of the theory.” Darwin admitted. “Why, if species have descended from other species by fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms?” Darwin wondered. “Often a cold shudder has run through me, and I have asked myself whether I may have not devoted myself to a fantasy."
Near the close of his life, Darwin added “by the Creator” to the conclusion in the sixth edition of Origin of the Species.“I was a young man with uninformed ideas. I threw out queries, suggestions all the time over everything: and to my astonishment the ideas took like wildfire. People made a religion of it…” Charles Darwin.This statement has been vigorously disputed as to its coming from Charles Darwin. Be that as it may: it is a fact that the “ideas took like wildfire” and “people made a religion of it.”
When Darwin’s Origin of the Specieswas published in 1859, scores of intellectual atheists were already waiting in the wings for a doctrine upon which to build a Godless new world. Darwin’s theory of evolution was made to order (i.e., the theory that all life had self-evolved without intelligent design or a Creator). They devoured Darwin’s “fantasy” like sharks in a feeding frenzy. Two notables among them were Thomas Henry Huxley and Herbert Spencer.
Thomas Henry Huxley, a strong supporter of Darwin’s theory, was instrumental in totally secularizing science, divorcing it completely from the Bible. While the Bible never contradicts true knowledge in any field, it confirms Darwin’s fear that he had devoted his life to a “fantasy.” “O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called.” The Bible, 1 Timothy 6:20.
Isn’t 152 years of “vain babblings” enough already?
It was Huxley who applied the fitting term “Darwinism” to the atheistic cardinal doctrine that would become fundamental to a new religion of man – Humanism. Darwinism is the preferred religion of atheists, agnostics, and all who choose to reject God, the Creator.
Until 1857, Herbert Spencer, English sociologist, had used the term “progress” in explaining changes in human society; but after 1857 he substituted the term “evolution.” Asked why, he explained,“progress has an anthropocentric (man centered) meaning, and… there (is) needed a word free from that.” In layman’s terms, Spencer was rejecting the truth that social change is made by the positive action of people, as implied by the term “progress.” He wanted a term stating that social change is self-evolved in the same manner, as he believed, that the physical universe and all life is self-evolved.
May we turn aside for a moment from egghead “philosophy and vain deceit” and apply a little common sense to this question? The feverish action for “change” by President Obama, and the Democrat Congress of 2009: was it self-evolved or was it caused by the action of people? The resistance by the Tea Party: is it self-evolved or is it deliberate action of people? The changes in our society, caused by these actions that may appear after the Obama Administration: did they self-evolve, or were they caused by Obama’s deliberate political actions? The answer is plain enough to all who are willing to use their common sense. Yet, rest assured, Social Evolutionists will find evolution at work in this political fiasco.
Charles Darwin: “People made a religion of it…” People made a religion of it. That statement speaks of “intelligent (?) design” not evolution. Do you mean to say, sir, that this was done by the action of people, that it really did not self-evolve. Did it not “progress” from you to the action of other people from the time you chose to depart from your theological studies in favor of a Godless head trip, chasing (to use your words) a “fantasy?”
Ever since Adam donned his fig-leaf britches, man has sought to distance himself from a just and holy God, and to make a god of himself. His very nature requires some sort of religion. (A religionless human being does not exist.) Darwin’s ideas were made to order for a Godless new religion. As Darwin correctly perceived,“People made a religion of it.”

While every person has a God consciousness and a religion of some sort, there is only one successful search for our true God and Creator. That way is thoroughly defined on page Free Indeed on this website.

William Shakespeare:“The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones.”A study of Charles Darwin as a person doesn’t reveal an intentionally evil man, only a tragically confused one as he, himself, confessed. No doubt his studies contributed much to our understanding of the natural universe. He would have been correct in recognizing “nature’s God” in the “laws of nature,” but because he chose instead to reject God, his life’s work is an enduring evil that has furnished the basic doctrine for the most horrid systems: Marxism, Nazism, Communism, Fascism, Humanism.
Darwinism contributed to the atrocities of World War II, and supplied the supposed justification for the Holocaust. (master race, inferior species, “survival of the fittest.”) Yet incredibly, countless atheistic Jews today, “stiff necked and uncircumcised in heart,” cling to Darwinism through their adherence to the Humanist religion.
Our interest in Darwinism in this discourse is its devastating effect on our laws, and consequently our liberties. What on earth does Charles Darwin have to do with our laws and liberty, you may ask. Read on patiently, and I think you will soon plainly see.
1825: Everything went downhill with the Congregationalists very soon after the American Revolution. By 1800, every Congregational church in Boston, except one, had Unitarian preachers; and Unitarians had control of Harvard University.Unitarians broke with the Congregationalists in 1825 and formed their own organization; but they did not relinquish control of Harvard.
Unitarianism was the religion of the Harvard elite during the late 18th century, and in essence, along with Darwinism, remains so today. By the beginning of the 19th century it had so abandoned the cardinal doctrines of the Bible that it could only be correctly defined as an apostate “church.”
Unitarianism is a hodge-podge of core beliefs, few if any compatible with the cardinal doctrines of the Bible:
Darwinism: Evolution – Life forms, including man, was not created, but self-evolved from lower life forms.
Humanism: Human reason, not the Bible is the source of authority.
God: A variety of doctrines- An impersonal spirit: a natural force; a principle; a created being (created by whom or what?); outright atheism. (This hodge-podge of doctrines comes from “playing footsie” with every other religion in the world.)
Jesus Christ: A good man and teacher, but not God and Savior.
Salvation: Salvation by character development, not by faith in Jesus Christ.
Sin: No such thing, unless it might be ignorance or “intolerance,” both of which can be corrected by a good liberal public education.
