In God I 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
a 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 to pray without ceasing. Now a handful
of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying.
God, help us.
If That Offended You; Majority Rules!
And if that last sentence offends you, well ... just sue
me.
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 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!
God bless us one and all ... especially those
who denounce Him. God bless America, despite all her faults.
She is still the greatest nation of all.
God Bless The Servicemen!
God bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right to pray and worship God.
May 2005 be the year the silent majority
is heard and we put God back as the foundation of our families
and institutions.
Keep looking up.
