More From Franklin Pierce

But let not the foundation of our hope rest upon man's wisdom. it will not be sufficient that sectional prejudices find no place in the public deliberations. it will not be sufficient that the rash counsels of human passion are rejected. it must be felt that there is no national security but in the nation's humble, acknowledged dependence upon god and his overruling providence.

We have a media that goes along with the government by parroting phrases intended to provoke a certain emotional response - for example, "national security." everyone says "national security" to the point that we now must use the term "national security." but it is not national security that they're concerned with; it is state security. and that's a key distinction.

A truly christian love, either to god or men, is a humble broken-hearted love. the desires of the saints, however earnest, are humble desires. their hope is a humble hope; and their joy, even when it is unspeakable and full of glory, is a humble broken-hearted joy, and leaves the christian more poor in spirit, and more like a little child, and more disposed to a universal lowliness of behaviour.
Christian Children Humble
Such a man the times have demanded, and such, in the providence of god was given us. but he is gone. let us strive to deserve, as far as mortals may, the continued care of divine providence, trusting that, in future national emergencies, he will not fail to provide us the instruments of safety and security.

...there are still truths in the bible and many other ancient texts despite what religions have done to destroy and debase them. religious dogma and myth have been used very successfully either to suppress understanding or to twist the truth sufficiently to turn something positive into something negative.
