Prager wants our help to get Biblical Verses back up

If America becomes a totalitarian police state, I can guarantee you one thing: It won't be done by repealing anything in the Constitution. All the documents and institutitions we have come to know and love will still be there -- or should I say, the shells will be, since they will have been digested from within by clintonesque poseurs who routinely say one thing while doing another and have the knack to get away with it.

I'm just extrapolating from recent history. How far can we slide before it can't be reversed?

Btw, I should point out that the Psalms are not just "some people's religious beliefs". To call them that is to take sides in a religious war, and is ipso facto a religious position, that of secular humanism.

You won't get far playing on a field which the other side has marked so that only their touchdowns count.

Yup. They want religion out of the public square because the agenda of the left depends upon people believing there is no higher authority than the state.

No accident that Bill Clinton's excuse was always "you will find no evidence of laws broken". If if it legal, to the left, it is moral.

Those who believe purging the Ten Commandments from courthouses protects freedom are deluded.

Call or Email the Secretary of the Interior, Gale Norton, ...

Why E-Mail someone already on record as being the opposition?  How about taking it over her head, to her boss, G.W. Bush?

One of the Plaques:
Psalm 104:24 O Lord how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all; the earth is full of thy creatures.

This one Psalm is acknowledging the Lord as the creator. Gee, that reminds me of another acknowledgement -- THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDANCE!

If they're going to get serious about obliterating all mention of God, then we'll need to redact the Declaration of Independance, a foundation of our country, 1776:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..."

IMO this proves that they're WRONG, because unless they want a revolution, they can't touch the Declaration of Independance.

Do you or anyone out there know the origins of the "separation of church and state" idea that some in this country love to sling around? It doesn't come from the Constitution so where does it come from?

[bets]

...it was in a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote.

But I do believe it's important that we don't have a federally sanctioned or pushed religion, and that includes SECULAR HUMANISM.

[beaversmom]

Thanks, I just found that out on Google. And just as you had mentioned I was just thinking that the leftists don't mind pushing their "religion" on us through the public schools and government agencies.

[bets]

Totally.

And my point about the Declaration of Independance is that they can't have their cake and eat it too. If they're going to get rid of the Bible verses about God as creator, they're going to have to revise the Declaration of Idependance.

[beaversmom]

And if they (ACLU et. al.) really want to be consistent and make a point, why don't they quit accepting money.

By the way....you all do KNOW that the places named after HINDU Gods WILL REMAIN, of course.
