"IN GOD WE TRUST"

Andy  Rooney says:

  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 in any way 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 , and Canada , countries 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! Or, just exercise their right to leave this country!

Unfortunately, one or two will call their lawyer.

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.  And if that last sentence offends  you, well, just sue me.

The silent majority has been silent too long.  It's time we tell that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard that the vast majority doesn'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!"

God  bless us one and all...Especially those who  denounce Him,  God bless America and Canada , despite all our  faults, we are still the greatest nations of  all.
God  bless our service men who
Are  fighting to protect our right to pray and  worship God.   

 

Let's  make 2014 the  year the silent majority is heard and we put God  back as the foundation of our families and  institutions. And our military forces come home  from all the wars.

Keep looking  up.
