Time To Engage God's (America's) Enemies
It has been said that all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to stand by and do nothing. It's time for Christians to pull our heads out of the sand and take a stand.
One man in California has the Supreme Court of this land now reviewing whether the phrase "under God" should be removed from our Pledge of Allegiance. The Chief Justice of State of Alabama cannot have a display of the Ten Commandments on courthouse property, despite that they are commonly acknowledged to be the basis for all of Western Law. A high school in Louisiana is being sued by the ACLU for saying prayers before football games.
The Liberal Secular Extremists cite the mythical "wall of separation" clause... which appears nowhere in our Constitution.
This is a war, and it is a war to remove every mention of God from every corner of American public life. The goal here is not to enforce our Founders' intent in having written the Constitution, rather it is to eradicate the single source of goodness, truth, and justice (and all of our Constitutionally listed rights...!) the world has in its possession... the Holy Word of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
If indeed our Rights as enumerated in our Constitution are inalienable—that is, cannot be taken from us—because, as our founders wrote, they are granted to us by God the Creator Himself, what praytell becomes of those "Rights" once God is forbidden His rightful place... or even any place... in our society or Government?
If the Christians in America, a nation founded by Christians upon the solid rock of the Word of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, do not fight back with everything God has blessed us with, then we are giving victory to an evil which intends to consume us. We are allowing the immoral to dictate the terms to the moral, and that is then game, set, and match.
There is far more at stake here than whether Washington was a Deist, or whether one sentence from Jefferson's letter to some guy in Connecticut should be used to supersede and reinterpret our entire Constitution. These are not valid arguments, and The Library of Congress has extensive documentation available online which dispels any such deceit.

For this war to have gotten to the advanced stage where it now sits on our doorstep and snarls at us like the Hounds of Hell unleashed is the fault not of the minions of Satan who merely do the bidding of their vile master, rather it is the fault of every Christian in this once God-fearing nation who has sat idly by and hoped it would go away.
It is not going to go away. It is coming for us... in our homes, our schools, our places of work and our places of worship. It is time to take a stand and speak the Truth. Then speak It again. And again.
Inasmuch as this conflict, for the time being, remains a war of ideas and ideology, it is still possible to fight it just by speaking out, by letting the Holy Spirit within us move our hearts and tongues to take a vocal and unrelenting stand for what is right.
Whether our discourse in this matter offends some Muslims or Krishnas is not at issue. It is, in fact, a non-issue, and has no place in our deliberations. It is a diversion concocted by those who hate God.
The only issue here is whether our discourse offends God. We can pray that it lifts Him up in praise and glorifies Him, for that in the only way that we will succeed in our quest.
We must raise an outcry that reaches not only to the ACLU, not only to our schools, not only to the courts, not only to the Congress of the United States...
...but one which reaches straight to Heaven, for it is there, and there alone, where all hope for mankind—and America—lies.
May God give us His will, the strength to fight this good fight.
There's that liberal revisionist edumacation shining thru again! Wrong move this time! Now you can just list more than 5 founders of the 250 who were deists! Put up or shut up. We'll see about your knowledge now... Put up the names and a quote that proves it, or go away - I don't have time for hostile ignoramuses.
I'm your enemy? Why? I certainly wouldn't do anything to harm you or yours. Hell, I'm the kinda guy that would stop to help you change a tire in the rain, and you call me your enemy? Damn, that just bites.
The USA has religious freedom for individuals. Period. If anyone has a beef about displaying religious symbols, you and I know the situation would be rectified. So that takes care of multi-headed Hindu gods.
Moving on to the public square, there is no reason other than specious activist Supreme Court doctrine, that symbols of Christianity may not be displayed on public property.
And you call yourself a Wacky Kat. Sly devil. Great idea.
You embarass yourself with the 'history' ploy.
Case in point, CodeMonkey said:
"The question still remains, if the information presented by the other poster in this case are correct then would you not call John Jay a religious bigot?"
It is radical to offer office only to Christians and to allow only Christians as U.S. citizens, but the context of the times must be considered.
The "context of the times", clearly stated that no religious test could be required for office. - "Don't you ever get embarrassed?"
The U.S. at that time was 99% Christian. There were hardly any other religions to speak of in America at that time (smattering of catholics and jewish citizens). It was a Christian nation - that's a simple historical fact.
Many americans of that era were non-belivers, just as today. By in any event your 'history' is belied by your own bigoted aside about a "smattering of catholics"..
Catholics are non-Christian?? --- Don't you ever get embarrassed with your own historical ignorance ?
In your case, Prota, that rings true.
So, once again you post what you want to be true rather than what is true. No surprise coming from a career anti-Christian bigot (just like your ostracized namesake! hahaha) and a secular humanist.
Members of the posting police are required to show their badges. Where's yours? That comment was sent to exmarine, not you.
Excessive baiting and disruption is not a sign of intelligence.
I see, anyone who actually wants to discuss your post is "baiting" and "disrupting". That fits right in with your delusions about being persecuted. You post wild, alarmist stuff about how "God is forbidden His rightful place... or even any place... in our society or Government? " and then don't like it when somebody questions you?
Is your position so weak only Gargantua-approved replies are allowed? Sad.
You don't even know what makes a Christian a Christian, so your comment is bizarre. Please leave this to the Christians - a Christian hater should not concern himself with this issue.
Unclear what that means.
BZZT! WRONG! Once again, the history ignoramus strikes again! FACT: The Declaration of Inedpendence is ORGANIC LAW IN THE U.S. CODE you MORON! Chief Justice Roy Moore pointed this out about 50 times in his case! You better shut up before you look even more foolish than you do already.
If that were a two-way street, nothing would be wrong with that.
But, one atheist is trying to prevent hundreds of Christian children from praying before a high school football game.
One other atheist is trying to prevent millions of Christian children from any mention of God.
This, while true, is not the rosey example you paint with your question.
If atheists are guaranteed a right to freely be atheists, the Christians are guaranteed the right to freely be Christian. It's just that Christians are the only religious group being persecuted with our current twisting of The Law.
