In God We Trust

The phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance and "In God We Trust" on U.S. money do not violate the Constitution's separation of church and state, a federal appeals court panel has ruled in San Francisco.

"The Pledge is constitutional," Judge Carlos Bea wrote for the majority in the 2-1 ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel. "The Pledge of Allegiance serves to unite our vast nation through the proud recitation of some of the ideals upon which our Republic was founded."

The panel ruled 3-0 on the money motto.
The challenges were filed by Sacramento atheist Michael Newdow. He argued that the references to God disrespect his beliefs and are unconstitutional.

In the first years of America, God and religion were sometimes the only thing that got people through their days. Long before we had civilization in America, God was the only thing to look to for comfort and answers. In the modern era of America, we have become so big and so self reliant, we appear not to need God anymore. The Atheists don't need him and they are so selfish, they want to tear down the foundation of America for the rest of us.

They have determined, there is no God. They have determined that they can live without God. Now, they are trying to cram that down the throats of the millions who DO believe and DO realize that this country was built on belief in God.
I don't know who decided that you could separate church and state. In a country where we put our beliefs on our money and in our Pledge of Allegiance, how do you separate God from the rest of our lives. When most of the people who live in America are Christians, how does that work? It can't work. That is just the story we have created to make it sound more political and to satisfy as many non Christians as possible.

If you are not a Christian, you are going to die and go to hell. End of Story. However, while you are here, if you are a Christian and you don't stand up when the Atheists are trying to destroy our country, you are worse than them. We have for quite a while now, had to deal with these clowns trying to take God out of everything. They, as a minute group, feel it necessary to exercise their rights to freedom of speech and take God from everyone else. They only care about themselves and want to stir up problems anytime they have the chance.

America was founded on God before TV, before cell phones, before our bum fuzzled Government was founded. Now we are so modernized and so advanced in our thinking, we appear not to need God. We are smarter than him, so we don't need to depend on our basic religious training, our common sense and our inside voice that says, What?

I hope that for the sake of our children and their children and so on, we never allow these Atheists to take this away from us. If you are a Christian, you are thankful for this decision in San Francisco. I am. I feel disrespected by the fact that this guy and all of the others before him, are trying to take God out of my life. They would go as far as we would let them.

I would say, as a Christian and as a person who has watched God work not only in my life, but in the lives of many that I love dearly, we should be vigilant. We should continue to watch out for the Atheists trying to do things like this. Being a Christian means defending and supporting your beliefs. The court in San Francisco did that.

In a atmosphere where anybody in Government makes us skeptical of their abilities, this was an applaudable action by the courts. Thank you for that. God Bless America!

Do you stand up for your beliefs in God?
