I think it's kind of ironic that one would style oneself "a PROUD Christian."

Whatever happened to humility?

We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation; and this is clearly documented throughout our history.

Interesting. When we founded this country, slaveholding was commonplace as was slaughter of the natives of this country. "Christian principles"? If you say so.

Don't get me wrong. This country has accomplished much that is good. But it wasn't all done by Christians and those "Christian Principles" need some explanation.

Although the basis for our nation's religious roots are Christian, let us not forget the diversity of the religious experience which caused the immigration of many to seek religious freedom here in in the "New World" .... some of the finest Americans are Muslims and Hindus *AND* Christians besides many other faiths that believe in our father.

Some just say it differently.

Stay the course. I too am proud of being an American and most importantly blessed to have become a Christian. I know what you meant and the semantics do not matter- what matters is who you are. Blessings to you.....

I was surprised that the "God Bless America" sign controversy happened in Oklahoma, of all places. When I lived there a lot of the natives seemed shocked to learn that not everyone in the world is a born-again Baptist.

The original motto, supplied by Jefferson, was "E Pluribus Unum" ("One from many"). It wasn't until 1861 that the motto "In God We Trust" was seriously suggested. Only in 1955 did Eisenhower sign a law making it mandatory on all U.S. coinage and paper currency.
