“EDUCATION IS THE MOST POWERFUL ALLY OF HUMANISM, AND EVERY AMERICAN PUBLIC SCHOOL IS A SCHOOL OF HUMANISM. WHAT CAN THE THEISTIC SUNDAY SCHOOLS, MEETING FOR AN HOUR ONCE A WEEK, AND TEACHING ONLY A FRACTION OF THE CHILDREN, DO TO STEM THE TIDE OF A FIVE-DAY PROGRAM OF HUMANISTIC TEACHING?” - C.F. POTTER FOUNDER OF MODERN AMERICAN EDUCATION AND SIGNER OF THE "HUMANIST MANIFESTO"
Philippians 1:27-30
Philippians 1:27-30
Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; 28And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. 29For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;30Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

An Explanation of Societial Structure Throughout All History
This video gives a study of the causes of "Free" vs "Tyrannical" societal structures metaphor from Genesis' "Tower of Babel".
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear." — Marcus Tullius Cicero
