It is filled with quotes, many from founding fathers, which affirms that it was their belief that the demise of our country is inevitable should we forget that there is a higher power to whom we answer and from whom our rights are imparted.

Who here is forgetting that?

My biggest reason for opposing this (outside of many legal reasons) is that it is in direct disobediance of Biblical commands. All these crusaders don't want to acknowledge that part of the Bible though.

Unfortunately, there are many ambiguities in the Bible. The Hebrew children who would not honor the law of the land which restricted their praying to their God is one example. There are times when you need to take a stand, not just as a Christian, but as an American.

We do have an appeals process in this country and the judge is not wrong to follow that through. This is an issue that the "separation of Church and State" people have grabbed hold of and disseminated much disinformation regarding. IMHO, this issue needs to be pushed and decided, possibly by the SC Justices once and for all because there are many ambiguities relating to this subject in our country.

Currency, Chaplains, Declaration of Independence, swearing in process, etc...all allow the aknowledgement of a Higher Power, a Creator, God. Now the ACLU arbitrarily, or not so, decides to attack a statue in Alabama? The lefties accuse us of trying to backdoor laws regarding life to overthrow pro-abortion laws, well it seems if that is true it's a page out of their own book as they attack religious freedoms in this way.
