[StBernard] God Bless The Majority...

[Westley Annis]

HOORAY,  HOORAY, HOORAY for Andy Rooney. I myself have been grumbling and
wondering how a handful of people have been able to take our right to pray
in public places away from us. So, agreeing with Andy, I GLADLY will forward
this email AGAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN. 


Folks, this is the Month that we RE-TAKE AMERICA 
********* Get  Ready ********* 


Keep this going around the  globe . Read it and forward every time you
receive it. We  can't give up on this issue. 

Andy Rooney and  Prayer


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 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 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, despite all her faults. She is still the greatest nation of all.
God bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right to pray and
worship God. 


Let's make 2009 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.

If you agree with this, please pass it on.
If not delete it...
