@ChocolateReigns – I think the separation can end up defeating the purpose of freedom of religion in odd ways as well…you’re totally right to be frustrated by that.
However, the very goal of the group is as follows:
*******************************************************************************************************
Our goal at Generation Joshua is to cultivate leaders and to equip them to use their beliefs to influence the political process. All of our programs either challenge youth to strengthen their beliefs, or give youth the opportunity to put their beliefs into action. We know that not every person is called to enter the political arena, but every person should be a leader who is willing to stand up for what is right, where ever they are called to serve. To that end, Generation Joshua exists.
Generation Joshua wants America to be a perpetual city on a hill, a beacon of biblical hope to the world around us. We seek to inspire every one of our members with faith in God and a hope of what America can become as we equip Christian citizens and leaders to impact our nation for Christ and for His glory.
*******************************************************************************************************
Therefore, Generation Joshua has the primary purpose of influencing the political process in order to ensure that the U.S. is doing what God believes it should.
That’s very, very, VERY different than wanting to be able to express your religion – that’s outright stating that you want your religion to be in the political position of power to serve as an example tot he rest of the world.
Now do you see how frightening that sounds to anyone else?
