I read an article earlier that just burned me. Not really as in anger, but in sheer disbelief as to how far society has fallen, and how blurry the line between good and evil has become. A religious watchdog group has complained to a Denver Army hospital to remove a cross and motto from their emblem, in fear that it may offend our enemies in the middle east. According to the Obama administration, "The war on terror is not a war on Islam." "We are not a Christian nation." I'm getting the urge to throw water into their face and yell at them to wake up. Our enemies don't want a hug, they want us dead. That may sound blunt, but it is the truth. Despite if people want to believe it or not, This IS a Christian nation and we are at war. We fight in this war to protect all freedoms, including the freedom they use to speak out against us.
The atheists love to preach how intolerant we Christians are. Yet, they are the ones who want every and all traces of God removed from society. Is that tolerance? Because to me, they sound like hypocrites. They also love to cite the constitution, which states:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
Removing God from society is prohibiting free exercise from practicing our faith, when our traditions get attacked because 1/100th of the population might be offended. Our traditions have been in place for hundreds of years, kept in place because our founding fathers were Christians just like us. The far left tries to tell us that the State acknowledging Christianity is unconstitutional. The founding fathers meant that the State will not officially adopt one religion and prohibit any other religions. To my knowledge, that amendment has never been discarded. If anything, the current administration seems to support Islam more than it does Christianity.
Most government officials were Christians, as well as most citizens at that time. Why should we lose our traditions just because a few atheists are so insecure in their beliefs, that they can't stand seeing God in society? If they don't believe in God, why do they make such a fuss over Him? It could be that deep down inside they feel guilty, and don't want reminders of their sins. Sometimes they need a push in the right direction. Don't get me wrong, they infuriate me at times, but deep down they are human beings. What is one theme in the Bible? Anyone can be saved if they wish to be. Pray for them. Never give up on good, it will always prevail over evil in the end.

Hey you should google Washington's speech when he resigned from office. You'll love it. Shows what a true American President is!
I couldn't have said it better Stephen!
Right on Stephen. We will pray for them, (& us). Thanks for defining "tolerance" so well and making us think. Keep strong and all the best to you! =t
