Put God back in our country.

 

		

			 - GO USA!!!! 
			
			
			
			Keep this going around the globe.....read it and
forward every time you receive it. We can't give up on this issue. Paul
Harvey and Prayer 
			
			Paul Harvey 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 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. 
			
			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 our service men and women who are fighting
to protect our right to pray and worship God. 
			
			May the year 2007 be the year the silent majority is
heard and we put God back as the foundation of our families and
institutions.   Keep looking up. 
			
			If you agree with this, please pass it on.  If not,
delete it.
