Don’t Forget, Americans!
One of my favorite theologians (who had his regrettable errors) had a keen eye for culture and trends long before it became trendy to talk about culture. Robert L. Dabney had this to say about religious liberty. It was prophetic in the 1800s; it’s disturbingly even more likely to be reality today.
The history of human rights is, that their intelligent assertors usually learn the true grounds of them ‘in the furnace of affliction’; that the posterity who inherit these rights hold them for a while, in pride and ignorant prescription; that after a while, when the true logic of the rights has been forgotten, and when some plausible temptation presses them to do so, the next generation discards the precious rights bodily, and goes back to the practice of the old tyranny… You may deem it a strange prophecy, but I predict that the time will come in this once free America when the battle for religious liberty will have to be fought over again, and will probably be lost, because the people are already ignorant of its true basis and conditions.Posted by Bob Bixby at July 3, 2009 05:29 PM | TrackBack | eMail this entry! | 183 Words
