Alright outlaws — this is the big one. We’ve spent all week tearing down the lie that faith and politics should never mix. Now let’s build something better in its place.
If you remember nothing else from this week, remember this:
You cannot keep freedom if you lose faith.
That’s not my opinion — it’s baked into reality, and the Founders knew it. In fact, they hammered this point so hard, you could frame the entire Constitution with their quotes about it.
Faith & Freedom Are a Package Deal
Here’s how the Founders actually saw it:
- Faith teaches people to govern themselves.
- Self-governed people need less government.
- Less government means more freedom.
- Lose faith — people stop governing themselves.
- People act like fools — government steps in to control them.
- Freedom dies.
That’s not theory — that’s history. And we’re living the consequences of forgetting it.
The Founders’ Greatest Hits (Faith Edition)
John Adams:
“Religion and virtue are the only foundations…of republicanism and of all free governments.”
George Washington:
“Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”
Benjamin Rush:
“Christianity is the only true and perfect religion.”
(Imagine saying that at a PTA meeting today — they’d have him canceled before lunch.)
What Happens When You Separate Faith from Freedom
If you want a country with maximum freedom, you need people who govern themselves — people who don’t cheat, steal, or punch each other over parking spots because they fear God, not because there’s a cop watching.
When you take faith out of the equation, you don’t get more freedom — you get more laws.
- Don’t believe lying is a sin? Here’s 47 pages of corporate disclosure regulations.
- Don’t teach kids that all humans bear God’s image? Here’s a 300-page anti-bullying policy.
- Don’t value honesty in contracts? Here’s 12 agencies to monitor your business.
Lose internal control — government adds external control.
Freedom Without Faith = An Expired Coupon
Here’s the brutal truth:
Freedom only works when people are capable of handling it.
That’s why the Bible says:
“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” — 2 Corinthians 3:17
No Spirit? No freedom. Period.
You can vote all you want, but if people aren’t governed inside, you’ll end up begging for laws to protect you from your neighbors.
Modern Example: The Parent Swap
This is like firing your strict-but-loving dad and replacing him with a weak babysitter who’s scared of the kids.
At first, it feels like freedom — no rules! Candy for dinner! But after about three days, the house smells like armpits and Axe body spray, the dog’s missing, and nobody knows what’s real anymore.
That’s what happens to a nation when you trade moral self-control for legal loopholes and personal “truth.”
The Outlaw Faith Challenge
Faith and freedom rise and fall together — always have, always will.
If you want to keep your freedom:
✅ Strengthen your faith.
✅ Teach your kids real truth — from the Bible, not TikTok.
✅ Build a home that needs zero government intervention because you handle your business like a man.
✅ Be the guy who prays first, acts second, and never bows to Caesar unless God says so.
Next Week: Back to the Founders — but this time, we’re going tactical with what they actually wanted government to do — and what they wanted it to stay out of.
