One Nation Under What God?
As Christians prepare to celebrate Easter the cornerstone of our faith, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, our President has told the planet Earth that America is no longer a Christian nation, and of all the things he's said that really upset me this is the most egregious and besides that; it is a downright lie.
I don't have to go into the well-known fact that America was discovered and settled by Christians and has since it's inception been founded on Judeo-Christian values.
Why Judeo-Christian? Because Jews and Christians, despite their many differences, worship the same God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Yahweh the Great, I Am, Jehovah, the God who parted the waters of the Red Sea, the God who made the sun stand still, the God who sent fire down and burned up the prophets of Baal, the Father and enabler of the immaculate conception, the heavenly father of Jesus Christ.
Now what Mr. Obama is saying in essence is we no longer honor the Christian and Jewish God, we honor all other supposed Gods, because the Allah the Muslims worship is not the same God as Jehovah, Buddha is not, nor is the millions of gods of Hinduism nor any other faith.
Regardless of what Barack Obama or Newsweek magazine says, America is still a Christian nation. Christianity is by far the most common faith in this country.
In fact the majority of the people who put Obama in office are Christians, if he had not gotten any Christian votes he would still be the Junior Senator from Illinois.
I have never in my 72 years seen a President misrepresent this nation as badly as Barack Obama has. He said America was no longer a Christian nation and went around the world criticizing it.
And why? Just to try to gain favor with a secular Europe and a Muslim world that hates us?
And what good did it do? He came home empty handed.
Obama went to Iraq and told the troops what a wonderful job they'd done, that they had made it possible for Iraq to take over their own defense.
Well Mr. President what happened to the Democrat mantras, "The surge is not working," "The war is lost"? A lot has sure happened in the last 80 days. The surge is now working and America has stopped being a Christian nation.
Mr. Obama you'd better hope in your heart of hearts that America doesn't stop being a Christian nation, because without the prayers of the Christians in this country, America could very well cease to exist.
There are millions of us out here who pray for the United States of America daily.
Some of us even pray for you Mr. President, and from what I've seen you really need it.
Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God, and don't you forget it Mr. Obama.
Happy Easter to all my Christian brothers and sisters out there.
He is risen!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What do you think?
Pray for our troops
God Bless America

Happy Easter everyone. Please pray for our country as well as our enemies.
It said, up above — Regardless of what Barack Obama or Newsweek magazine says, America is still a Christian nation. Christianity is by far the most common faith in this country.

Ummm..., if you’ve heard of “RINOs” — then you probably know what “CINOs” are, too...
So, if you count CINOs, then you might come up with Christianity being the most common faith in this country... :-)
Excellent job, Mr. Daniel’s.
God bless you too.
Daniel’s.=Daniels.
.and the South’s Gonna Do It Again ..........
Nope, I just know about what Jesus said about it...
Everyone had to be created by something. Even if they try to take God out of the public square, that still leaves us created with inalienable rights that can’t be taken away. They are wasting their time. No matter how much they try, they cannot take God away from anyone who wants him, and cannot use it to justify taking away the right to life liberty and the persuit of happiness.
So what’s their point again? lol

As Christians gather to celebrate Easter this Sunday, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 88% of adults nationwide think the person known to history as Jesus Christ actually walked the earth 2,000 years ago. That’s up five points from a year ago. Today, 5% disagree and 7% are not sure.
Eighty-two percent (82%) also believe that Jesus Christ was the son of God who came to Earth and died for our sins. Another 10% think otherwise and 8% aren’t sure.
Nearly as many, 79% believe the central claim of the Christian faith--that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. Only 10% say they do not believe the first Easter resurrection really happened, while 11% are not sure.
Overall, women tend to be stronger believers in Jesus Christ than men. Eighty-seven (87%) of women and 70% of men believe Jesus rose from the dead; 89% of women and 74% of men think he was the son of God; 91% of women and 85% of men believe he actually walked the earth.
Eighty-five percent (85%) of Catholics believe Jesus rose from the dead along with 86% of Protestants and 97% of Evangelical Christians. Eighty-nine percent (89%) of Catholics also think Jesus was the son of God. That view is shared by 90% of Protestants and 97% of Evangelical Christians. Finally, 87% of Catholics, 95% of Protestants and all Evangelical Christians surveyed believe that Jesus Christ walked the earth.
Among those who rarely or never attend church, 50% believe Jesus rose from the dead, 58% think he was the son of God and 72% say he walked the Earth.
While most adults are believers in Jesus Christ, just over half (56%) of adults say they will attend a church service to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. Thirty-five percent (35%) have no intention of going to a service, while 9% are not sure if they will attend a service or not.
A separate Rasmussen Reports survey found that 53% consider Easter to be one of the nation’s most important holidays.
If this were a Christian nation, Obama would not be president.
Well, even Mormons believe Jesus rose from the dead, but I know that Mormon teachings are not Christian...
Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that Jesus rose from the dead, too — but they definitely do not have Christian teachings...
And with those two, you have the *two largest cult groups* in the United States.
One has to be a bit more discerning than that...
President Shift the ape has the American sheeple in front of the little shed on the hill.
You said — If this were a Christian nation, Obama would not be president.

You’ve got that one *exactly right*....
Sorry, I’m not sure what you’re saying here...
The Devil Went Down To Georgia (DC), he was looking for a soul to steal . . .
Fire on the Mountain run boys run . . . (LOL)
He is Risen Indeed!
When the stock market would go down by two points the MSM jumped all over GB declaring the ecomony in a “recession.” Now, the stock market drops several hyndred points and the mantra is: “we don't go by the stock market” since it normally goes up and down all the time, this would not be a good indicator of the economy.
Give me a break, these hypocrites can't seem to get anything right, even when the facts hit them in the face!
Yeah, Never mind the voter fraud, Dead folks, criminals and illegals voting in some cases twice and three times each for the RATS. While we just pray and turn the other cheek...
Yeah, Simple Man by Charlie is great. But my kids were older when that came in, what, 89-90?
LOL, My oldest Daughter joined the Army in 90! (she wanted to kick saddam’s azz-haha)
Eighty-nine percent (89%) of Catholics also think Jesus was the son of God.
These pols have become downright silly. You cannot be a Catholic and not believe that Jesus was the son of God and that he rose from the dead. It is not possible. If you do not believe these things you cannot be a Catholic. Period!

What fine, beautiful children. I know you must be proud of them.
The Sitting President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, the man who raised his right hand and swore on Lincoln’s Bible: in accordance with Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend The Constitution of the United States” has in a news conference in the sovereign Nations of Turkey and Indonesia (which means “on foreign soil”) stated that “We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation, a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. uh uh... we consider ourselves uh uh a nation of uh citizens.”
From an article found here: http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/politics/pg0040.html
When President Harry Truman wrote to Pope Pius XII in 1947 that “This is a Christian nation.”, he certainly did not mean that the United States has an official or legally-preferred religion or church. Nor did he mean to slight adherents of non-Christian religions. But he certainly did mean to recognize that this nation, its institutions and laws, was founded on Biblical principles basic to Christianity and to Judaism from which it flowed. As he told an Attorney General’s Conference in 1950, “The fundamental basis of this nation’s laws was given to Moses on the Mount. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings we get from Exodus and Saint Matthew, from Isaiah and Saint Paul. I don’t think we emphasize that enough these days. If we don’t have a proper fundamental moral background, we will finally end up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in rights for anybody except the State.”
Woodrow Wilson, in his election campaign for President, made the same point: “A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do. We are trying to do a futile thing if we do not know where we came from or what we have been about.... America was born a Christian nation. America was born to exemplify that devotion to the tenets of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of Holy Scripture.”
The crucial role of Christianity in this nation’s formation is not without dispute, although as Revolutionary leader Patrick Henry said: “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship.”
John Ashcroft was roundly criticized for his “No King but Jesus” speech at Bob Jones University, but he was only reminding us of our colonial and Revolutionary War heritage. In a 1774 report to King George, the Governor of Boston noted: “If you ask an American, who is his master? He will tell you he has none, nor any governor but Jesus Christ.” The pre-war Colonial Committees of Correspondence soon made this the American motto: “No King but King Jesus.” And this sentiment was carried over into the 1783 peace treaty with Great Britain ending that war, which begins “In the name of the most Holy and Undivided Trinity... .”
Samuel Adams, who has been called ‘The Father of the American Revolution’ wrote The Rights of the Colonists in 1772, which stated: “The rights of the colonists as Christians...may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institution of the Great Law Giver and Head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament.”
It is frequently asserted by those seeking to minimize Christianity’s central role in our nation’s founding and history, that the founders themselves were not practicing Christians, but rather were Deists or Agnostics. In a 1962 speech to Congress, Senator Robert Byrd noted that of the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention, 29 were Anglicans, 16-18 were Calvinists, and among the rest were 2 Methodists, 2 Lutherans, 2 Roman Catholics, 1 lapsed Quaker-sometimes Anglican, and only 1 open Deist — Benjamin Franklin who attended all Christian worships and called for public prayer.
The last paragraph of this article states:
Can America still be called a Christian nation? It is certainly a more religiously pluralistic and diverse society than it was during the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. There are increasing numbers of non-Christians immigrating to this country, and there has been a rapid rise in adherents to Islam among our population. There are millions of Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Shintoists, Unitarians, Hindus, Wiccans, Naturists, Agnostics, and Atheists, but Christians comprise roughly 84% of the population. Our constitutional legal system is still based on the Jewish/Christian Bible, not the Koran or other holy book. We still observe Sunday, the Christian Sabbath, as an official holiday. Easter and Christmas still have a special place in the holiday lexicon. The Ten Commandments are still on the wall behind the Supreme Court Justices when they take the bench. Our coins still display the motto “In God We Trust.” The US is still firmly part of a Western Civilization fashioned by a Judeo-Christian religious ethic and heritage. Alexis de Tocqueville observed more than a century and a half ago, “There is no country in the world, where the Christian religion retains a greater influence over the souls of men than in America.” That is still true today. We live, not under a Christian government, but in a nation where all are free to practice their particular religion, in accommodation with other religions, and in accordance with the basic principles of the nation, which are Christian in origin. It is in that sense that America may properly be referred to as a Christian nation.
Therefore, I respectfully request that the Sitting President, Barack Hussein Obama, retract his statement and apologize to this Nation and to the memory of the Founding Fathers for broadcasting to the world (on more than one occasion) that “we are not a Christian nation.”
May I remind you all that the definition of traitor is “one who leads you to believe something that is not true.” A traitor who betrays his Country commits treason. And treason is an impeachable offence. Is, in your minds, the Sitting President, Barack Hussein Obama, a traitor yet? What will it take for him to so demonstrate?
Mr. Daniels has a better grasp of the scriptures than I would have thought, which is great. Some of these old country / rock and roll war horses surprise me some times.
Thank you
Yes, The Lord Blessed me with 3 wonderful children.
