Christians: Have you ever thought that Christianity had been removed from our government? This article is IMO solid proof that something evil is taking place in America and it is porn on the Internet!

Look at the Source for pictures.

Godless Liberalism permeates every fabric of our society now... it will take an act of God to reverse the tide.

Newsflash: Moses was not a Christian.

AMENDMENT I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...

10 Commandments don't exactly jive with the Bill of Rights, guess which the Supreme Court is charged with upholding...

I've been watching the history channels over the last few years. Everyone is given credit for our founding except our founding fathers and all principles are either attributed to native American influences or some other equally problematic source.

I don't deny that some of our found principles may have touched on native American influences, but I do not see those as the major driving force. One historic program I witnessed in the last 48 hours stated that much of our founding principles were derived from the Indians.

There is a epidemic of revisionist efforts these days. I don't think we dismiss what they are doing lightly withour severe repercussions.

It appears to me, that any European or Biblical influences on our founding, is being systematically rewritten out. The evil white man syndrome seems to be a very popular view these days.

I'm an evangelical. But I really don't think this stuff is worth the effort given to it. This guy spent weeks research ing this subject.

Christianity is the fastest growing religion in the world and it's the hardcores that comprise most of the growth. We don't need the sponsorship of the state. All we need to do is follow the Great Commission.

Indeed, Christianity is growing fastest in nations where it is persecuted, like China. The fervor and growth there is astonishing--estimates are that there are now more than 80 million Chinese Christians. As fast as the authorities can bulldoze the house churches and arrest the leaders, they move the Church and new leaders arise. The group our Church has sponsored there now tell us that they don't need our help anymore--they are self-sustaining. In fact, they are planning on sending missionaries to Europe in the next few years.

We have also sponsored (in part) the translation of the Bible into an obscure indigenous language in Guatamala. Every year, we send a team of our adult engineers and teens into remote villages there and install clean water systems and share the Gospel. It works.

I personally believe that one of the worst things that ever happend to Christianity was it being adopted as the official state religion of the Roman Empire. Wealth and power make us lazy, corrupt, and Laeodician.

I guess what I'm saying is it really doesn't matter what the the tour guide says the Roman Numerals in the Supreme Court building stand for. Teach your children well and leave the rest up to God. Don't depend on the State to do it. Governments are inherently corrupt and corrupting and trying to make them the instrument of God is a lost cause before it even starts.

Around 1981 a friend showed me the anti-gun agenda and began my interest in politics. That was proof enough for me. Things have certainly gotten worse though.

I'm not a Christian but I find this purging of God and Christianity from America disturbing and repugnant. The evil is fanaticism and its form, in this case, is secular progessivism. (Formerly known as Marxist communism.)

To read a fair-to-middling exegesis on fanaticism see my profile page. It is designed to reveal the causal mindset of fanaticism and make it possible to identify it in any form great or small. I am hoping that understanding its cause will help us defeat it.

What difference does it make if its the Ten Commandments or the Bill of Rights? Our government is effacing both.

Isn't it ironic that in order to sanitize Judeo-Christianity from our history, they take the one historic representation of it on the frieze and claim that they are the "Ten Amendments". In retrospect though, it is too bad that the Ten Amendments had not been etched into stone, because then the subsequent "bend the words as far as possible" officeholders would not have had such an easy time rewriting them as they interpreted them to mean just about anything they have wanted.

But then again, look at who they have morphed Moses into on the frieze --- one of our founding fathers?????? So who is carrying those Tablets of the Ten Amendments: James Madison? T. Jefferson? G. Washington? I got it. Stonewall Jackson? It is pure lunacy and these people who rule us from there want to be taken seriously??????

If those are the 10 Amendments - who's the guy holding them? This isn't even PC run amok, just more work by the anti-Christian devil brigade.

"Between the images of the people depicting the Majesty of the Law and Power of Government, there is a tablet with ten Roman numerals, the first five down the left side and the last five down the right. This tablet represents the first ten amendments of the Bill of Rights," she said.

The next reference found said only the frieze "symbolizes early written laws" and then in 1999, the reference first appeared to that depiction being the "Ten Amendments to the Bill of Rights."

The ignorance of the Supreme Court staff is mind-boggling. Amendments One through Ten are not amendments to the Bill of Rights; they are the Bill of Rights. These are amendments to the Constitution. The first ten amendments to the Constitution comprise the Bill of Rights. There have been no amendments to the Bill of Rights (apart from Supreme Court rulings that have totally distorted what the Bill of Rights says). The fact that a tour guide at the Supreme Court and a reference document at the Supreme Court referred to "Ten Amendments to the Bill of Rights" speaks volumes about the rampant ignorance in this country of our history and the founding of this country. (It reminds me of the idiot assistant prosecutor in the OJ Simpson trial stating that the Constitution guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.)

It's very sad when the very thing our country was predicated on, is systematically rooted out of every instituion. It seems we sacrifice everything we believe in for the 1% who really don't give a damn to begin with.

Removing Moses and the Big Ten is NOT removing Christianity.

It's removing Judaism.

"Would Weinman have sculpted two identical tablets, in the same city, each with the Roman numerals I through V on one side and VI through X on the other, but with totally different identities?"

I say that it is possible if one looks at the context of the two sculptures.

In the context of the Oscar Solomon memorial, he is remembered for his accomplishments as a Jew. A clearly religious reference. A reference to the Ten Commandments is not unexpected nor is it unusual.

In the context of the other sculpture, the frieze in the Supreme Court, the figures are representing the Majesty of the Law and Power of Government. Two concepts that are clearly not a reference to religion. The presence of a tablet representing the Bill of Rights is not an unexpected nor unusual thing to see depicted there.

I do not disagree with Mr. DuBord's assertion that there is a concerted effort to revise our history as a nation.
But I do disagree with his statement as quoted above that the identities of the tablets in two different sculptures being different is unlikely. It is as likely as unlikely.

The "free exercise" part of the first amendment has been essentially as ignored as the third amendment.

There may be something evil going on in America, but another poorly written article from WND does nothing to expose it.
