"In God WE
Trust"
 
I don't
believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for
singing a
Ho-Ho-Ho song in December.
I don't agree
with Darwin, but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when
my high
school teacher taught his theory of evolution.
Life,
liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered
because
someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game. So
what's the
big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the
entire book
of Acts. They're just talking to THE God they believe in and
asking Him to
grant safety to the players on the field and the fans
going home
from the game.
"But it's a
Christian prayer," some will argue. Yes, and this is the
United States
of America, a country founded on Christian principles.
According to
our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumber
all others
better than 200-to-1. So what would you expect --
somebody
chanting Hare Krishna?
If I went to
a football game in Jerusalem, I would expect to
hear a Jewish
prayer. If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad,
I would
expect to hear a Muslim prayer. If I went to a ping pong
match in
China, I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.
And I
wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit.
When in
Rome...
"But what
about the atheists?" is another argument. What about them?
Nobody is
asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the
collection
plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If that's asking too
much, bring a
Walkman or a pair of ear plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit
the
concession stand. Call your lawyer. Unfortunately, one or two will
make that
call. One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot
do. I don't
think a short prayer at a football game is going to shake
the world's
foundations.
Christians
are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while
our courts
strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents
taught us to
pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep. Our
Bible tells
us just to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and
their lawyers
are telling us to cease praying. God, help us. And if that
last sentence
offends you, well... just sue me.
Don't just
send this on.. take time to act. Pick up the phone and
call your
governmental people and tell them... enough is enough. We
can't just
sit around and talk about it.. the grass root group has to
rise up off
their couches and make their positions known. The silent
majority has
been silent too long.. it's time we let that one or two who
scream loud
enough to be heard, that the vast majority don't care what
they want..
it is time that the majority rules!
It's time we
tell them, you don't have to pray... you don't have to say
the Pledge of
Allegiance, you don't have to believe in God or attend
services that
honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your
right.. but
by golly you are no longer going to take our rights away ..
we are
fighting back.. and we WILL WIN! After all the God you have
the right to
denounce is on our side!
God bless us
one and all, especially those who denounce Him...
God bless
America, despite all her faults.. still the greatest nation of
all...
God bless our
military who are fighting to protect our right to
pray and
worship God...
May 2003 be
the year that the silent majority is heard and we put
God back as
the foundation of our families and institutions.
Keep looking
up!
In God WE
Trust
No I didn't
write it, but it is exactly my sentiments, 100 %!
