God Is Deeply Rooted In America

"In God We Trust" is our national motto. (36 United States Code,Section 86)

"In God We Trust" has been on our coins since 1863. (even before it was our national motto) (31 United States Code, Section 5112 [D] [1]

Our Pledge of Allegiance cites "one nation under God."

Both state legislatures and United States Congress employ paid chaplains to pray at the opening of all sessions.

All military branches of the United States government have paid chaplains.

The inscription on the Liberty Bell cites Leviticus 25:10

A portrait of Moses with the Ten Commandments hangs above the Speaker's chair in the United States Congress.

(But this is illegal in our public schools and municipal government buildings) It is shameful that the very institution which governs us and makes the laws are able to display the Ten Commandments but the citizens cannot.

Does this form of government sound familiar?

The Library of Congress (another government institution) has statues of the apostle Paul and Moses, and it has large inscriptions of Micah 6:8 and Psalm 19:1prominently displayed. (Try pulling that off at the next high school football game)

The Lincoln Memorial has chiseled on it, "Judgments of the Lord are righteous." (Government Property)

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is dedicated to a soldier "Known but to God."

There is a prayer room in Congress. (Go tell your local school board you want the same thing that "our" Government has....a prayer room. Better yet ask the ACLU if they will either allow prayer rooms in our schools or fight to have the one our Government has to be removed ...just for grins of course.

This has got to be the best one yet...-The very branch of our US Government which ruled against prayers at a high school football game opens the Supreme Court Session with the words, "God save the United States and this honorable court." They do this publicly, not privately.

The United States Constitution refers to Jesus, stating the Constitution was signed in 1787 "in the year of our Lord." (Could the US Government explain which Lord they are referring to on this sacred document if not Jesus?)

The United States Government has mandated "National Day of Prayer." (36 United States Code, Section 169 [H]. (Think about that....The very government who has ruled against public prayer at schools because of the misguided "Separation of Church and State" doctrine has mandated a "National Day of Prayer." by US Government Law!! )

Christmas is a United States Government Holiday.

Separation of Church and State. Maybe it is the US citizens that are believers who have been separated from the State.

Has that ever happened in recent world history?

Think about it.
