The atheists are at it again. Not satisfied with their status as miserable lost souls themselves, they apparently want to make very other American miserable as well.
“Under God” must come out of our Pledge of Allegiance. Well, the 9th Circus Court agreed with that. Now the Supreme Court must decide. Frankly, I wouldn’t place a bet, either way, on how the Supreme Court will decide on this issue.
Now the atheists are after the nation's motto, you know, the one on our money, “In God We Trust”.
I’m not going to bore you with claims that this is a Christian country founded upon the scriptural dictates of the bible and it was founded as a nation where people of all faiths could come and enjoy freedom to practice their chosen religion. All of that is true. It can easily be documented from the Mayflower Compact right on down to today.
But you see, here is the problem I have. It’s called "revisionist" history. Simply put, it is people rewriting history to suit their own ends. It doesn’t matter that what they write isn’t the truth. The truth hardly matters any more. What matters to them is getting their way… and they will do whatever it takes to accomplish their ends.
The revision of our history is a cancer eating away at the insides of the US. The Politically Correct crowd (Read Marxist Crowd) has been the biggest culprit, so far. Up to now, that is. Now, we have the Atheists lending a hand.
Even a city’s logo, which symbolizes the City of Los Cruses, New Mexico, is being challenged because it has the stylized drawing of three crosses on it. It is a correct depiction of the name of the city “Los Cruses”, which means, in English, “the crosses”.
I’m past being angry with this movement among the nations unreligious to force their views upon the majority of the people of this nation. I’m ready to strike back. Un-Christian of me, you say? Well, so be it! I’m not a very good Christian anyway. The good Lord and I are working on that. In the meantime, I urge the people of faith, in the US, to rise up and ensure the efforts of this weird minority of hopeless, pitiful, people are set back on their heels and forced to retreat into the deep, dark, shadows from which they came.
I’m all for protecting Minority Rights…but NOT at the expense of Majority Rights!
The majority of the people of the United States are people of faith. They are the people who drive this great country.
As much as I hate to say this, we may find that we have to amend our constitution to restrict the practice of certain religions in this country in order to preserve that freedom for everyone else. Not a pleasant solution is it? But realistic, I’m afraid.
At some point, in the not too distant future, the religious people of this country are going to say enough and they will insist that measures be taken to stop those who would rip, and tear, at the very fabric of a nation founded on the Judeo-Christian faith.
As crazy as it sounds, it is coming.

If we trust in God why do we need an army? These were words added to our money and to the constitution in the 50's for Christ's sake. Just added to spit in the face of Russia. I do not say the pledge nor will my son, as Christians it violates the first commandment to put a rag before my creator. If we are one nation under God, why does he tolerate our failed leaders, lying to kill, killing for profit? And then these leaders profess it is in God's name. What is wrong with you man? I want less religious leaders and more Spiritual ones.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that "making everyone else miserable" in your eyes is different than my own. Removing a religious phrase from our national motto or creed or pledge only removes the right of the government to support a religious concept (i.e. that god exists).
ReplyDeleteIt does not remove your right to say it, write it, think it, believe it, practice it...in any way shape or form. You can continue to call this country a country "under god" and say that "in god we trust" all you want. You can continue to believe it, preach it, live it, think it...etc. How does this impose "misery" on you or anyone else?
To the godless, having the government trust in what they consider an imaginary creature is no different than you would view our government saying, "in allah we trust" or "in buddha we trust". You wouldn't like that, would you? You would cry at the top of your lungs, "separation of church and state".
I strongly suggest you do your homework concerning your idea of a christian nation. Perhaps you are unaware that "e pluribus unum" was the official national motto adopted by the founders, rather than a religious motto, which they had many people wanting.
Perhaps you are unaware that "in god we trust" first appeared on national currency after the civil war was well underway and during a time of absolute chaos in our government, and because people were just so blasted afraid.
Perhaps you are unaware that "under god" was added to the pledge by Eisenhower in an attempt to distinguish us from the godless communists.
Perhaps you are unaware that the US Constitution was the first of any Western country in all of history which intentionally left out the word "god" from anywhere within it.
Perhaps you are aware of all these things, but you are the revisionist.
Thank you for your kind remarks, Minion.
ReplyDeleteI am not unaware of any of your points enumerated above. however, it does not change my opinion one whit. If that makes me a revisionist, so be it.
I have had my history as a Southerner revised so much that it is unrecognisable from the real thing. I think it's about time I did a little revising of my own, anyway!
Have a nice day!
