“Manifest destiny was a cultural belief in the 19th-century United States that American settlers were destined to expand across North America.[3][4][5] There were three basic tenets to the concept:[6][7] The special virtues of the American people and their institutions The mission of the United States to redeem and remake the West in the image of the agrarian East An irresistible destiny to accomplish this essential duty Historians have emphasized that "manifest destiny" was always contested. Many endorsed the idea, but the large majority of Whigs and many prominent Americans (such as Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant) rejected the concept.[8][9][10] Historian Daniel Walker Howe writes, "American imperialism did not represent an American consensus; it provoked bitter dissent within the national polity while the Whigs saw America's moral mission as one of democratic example rather than conquest.[3][11] The term was used by the then-Democrats in the 1840s to justify the Mexican–American War, and it was also used to negotiate the Oregon boundary dispute. Historian Frederick Merk says manifest destiny always limped along because of its internal limitations and the issue of slavery, and never became a national priority of the United States.[3] By 1843, former U.S. President John Quincy Adams, originally a major supporter of the concept underlying manifest destiny, had changed his mind and repudiated expansionism because it meant the expansion of slavery in Texas.[3] Newspaper editor John O'Sullivan is generally credited with coining the term manifest destiny in 1845 to describe the essence of this mindset;[12] other historians believe the unsigned editorial titled "Annexation" in which it first appeared was written by journalist and annexation advocate Jane Cazneau.[13][14].” “Etymology of the Word God Oddly, the exact origin of the word God is unknown. All that we know for certain is that the word God is a relatively new European invention, which was never used in any of the ancient Judaeo-Christian scripture manuscripts which were written in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek or Latin. This situation is quite remarkable, since there is a long history of people arguing and fighting over the name of God, yet we don't even know where this European-invented word God came from! Amusingly, none of the prophets, sages and disciples who wrote down the various books of the Bible would recognize or understand this recently invented word God. Yet people fight over it!” “https://wahiduddin.net/words/name_god.htm. More secular establishments are opening, and more churches are closing. People are spending more time in secular environments than Christian environments. You can’t limit a deity to a name that it doesn’t call itself. A deity is too “venerated” to have a name. I value emanationism over creationism. I invented a word based upon emanation. I’m not a product of a rib, I am not sourced from dirt, and I don’t see myself as a “filthy rag.” Bible verses and gospel music reinforce self-loathing in the wordings. I am not Original Sin because I am an Original Blessing. Jesus embraces single parents, stepfamilies, emancipation, healthy disownment, adoptions, sperm banks, foster families, and civil unions.
