Is it necessary that any one should [ask], “Did General Washington avow himself to be a believer in Christianity?" As well may we question his patriotism, his heroic devotion to his country. His mottos were, "Deeds, not Words"; and, "For God and my Country."

Nelly Custis-Lewis (Washington’s adopted daughter)

“It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.”

George Washington.

“What students would learn in American schools above all is the religion of Jesus Christ.”

George Washington. [speech to the Delaware Indian Chiefs May 12, 1779]

George Washington. [May 2, 1778, at Valley Forge]

When I was a lineman some knuckleheaded backhoe operaor had his bucket fully upright and hit the lines we were pulling out and slapped them into to secondary power lines. It shot fire balls down the wires and started about eight poles to catch fire. I had just let go of the strand and was circling the pole when the fire ball flashed by me. My groundsman had just pulled the floating ground off the spool to start cinching up the wire when the fire ball hit the ground.

We ran from pole to pole putting fires out.
