"Not when you advocate putting your god into institutions my tax dollars pay for..."
No, sir. You have it wrong. You advocate taking my God out of the institutions that were cornerstoned by the Ten Commandments...the same Ten Commandments that are displayed in the chambers of the US Supreme Court in recognition of that fact.
When you remove the Judeo-Christian tenets of our Republic from the Republic it cease to be what it was created to be: a nation whose people do not need to be controlled by their rulers because they find themselves individually accountable to their Maker.
Read Alexis de Tocqueville if you haven't already. He was a secular Frenchman who understood the unique relationship of God in American institutions. He saw that our government was only effective in that it was for a faithful people. Take away God and America ceases to be what it is and it will become something else.
Frankly, since the atheist/Communist onslaught in the post-war period America has, indeed, changed. And not for the better.
"a nation whose people do not need to be controlled by their rulers because they find themselves individually accountable to their Maker. "
You're exactly right! Don't get me wrong, I do not loathe religion and undestand the positive impact it has on the lives of many. What I DO loathe is the corrupting and oppressive qualities it exhibits when the power that comes with it falls into the wrong hands... Catholic Europe, the theocracies throughout the ME, etc. Religion, since its inception has often been used as a control mechanism, and being that the history of that is well established, as freedom loving people, we should prevent any such 'institution' with such a history to rear its head within the ranks of our ruling powers.
I do not agree with the display of the Ten Commandments in any government facility. It is a step in a dangerous direction, history proves it so.
