you can choose to embrace that god designed -- that god designed men and women in the marriage illustrates truths or you can reject all of that and make your own alternative truth but you cannot change what god has spoken and verified. many have tried and history. documents are folly. in the past, stating such a position was known as practicing religious freedom and freedom of speech, both constitutionally protected rights, rights of necessity will be sacrificed if the court approves same-sex marriage. to the members of the supreme court, i say there are tens of thousands of people of faith, in fact hundreds of thousands if not millions whose faith and conscience will not risk that any decision that fundamentally rejects their god, his word in the national order. if a majority redefined marriage, thousands of christians will respectfully refuse to acknowledge such a ruling has any jurisdiction over their lives. in the spirit of dr. martin luther king, we view any attempt to enforce a willingness on just and our duty of the constitution or import really our duty to our god will force us to

god and in god we trust. so on it went so from the very start to refuse religion into politics. >> host: was to write eisenhower a religious man? was a political? >> a little of both. he calls himself the most people man i know. his family didn't have a good record to attend church but he saw himself as a fundamentalist. he comes into office in firmly believes of the office but that is a little different they see it as a means to an end. >> with his election they think will they rollout back? but i think they're there to stay. but to push back to undo social security will never hear of them again so he makes peace with it but revision as a means to an end makes it the end is up and embraces public religion in the way he thinks he will unite to america and he does. it is better than it ever was before so before was a conservative protestant democrats and republicans alike but those that think as a nation they are right to. >> host: your book one nation under god you write once in office ronald reagan -- what d

this morning we also remember a man of god we lost this weekend. a man known and loved by many of you, in american preacher, dr. gardner c. taylor. anyone at the privilege of hearing him speak knows what our he had -- what power he had. he was a civil rights hero and he was a friend of dr. king who used his spellbinding sermons to spread the gospel and open people's hearts and minds. he taught and mentor to countless young ministers. so as we mourn his absence today we also take solace that he leaves a living legacy, and that he is in a better place. i am no preacher. i can't tell anything to this crowd about easter that you don't already know. i can offer a couple reflections very quickly before we begin. for me, the celebration of easter puts our earthly concerns into perspective. with humility and with all we give thanks to the extraordinary sacrifice of jesus christ our savior reflect on the brutal pain he suffered, the scorn that he absorbed, the sins that he bore, his extraordinary gift of salvation that he gave to us. we try as best we can t

both read the same bible and pray to the same god. it may seem strange any man ask just god's assistance ringing bread from the sweat of another man's faces. would we feel as polarized? would we feel as lost if our side loses the battle of legislation someone claims is going to undermine the fabric of america? i think we know what was undermining the fabric of america in the 19th century. the truth is this actually did do this. nothing compares to this today. it's something our current leaders need to internalize more. what's amazing about this speech, it was clearly not vetted by consultants. it wasn't micro targeted to a specific constituently group. it was simply to heal america 's wounds. nothing expresses that better than the last sentence of the speech. with malice forward none, charity toward all. with firmness in the right as god gives us to see the right. let us strive on to finish the work we're in, bind up nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his or fan to do all who must al
