YOU GOT TO LOVE HIM! HE TELLS IT LIKE IT
IS!!
Paul Harvey says: "I don't
believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not
going
to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in
December.
I don't agree with Darwin, but I didn't go out and
hire a
lawyer
when my high school teacher taught his theory of
evolution.
Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will
not
be endangered because someone says a
30-second
prayer before a football game. So what's the big
deal?
It's not like somebody is up there
reading
the entire book of Acts. They're just talking to a
God
they believe in and asking him to grant safety to
the
players
on the field and the fans going home from the
game.
"But it's a Christian prayer," some will argue.
Yes, and this
is
the United States of America, a country founded on
Christian
principles. According to our very own phone
book,
Christian churches outnumber all others better
than
200-to-1.
So what would you expect-somebody chanting Hare
Krishna?
If I went to a football game in Jerusalem, I would
expect
to
hear a Jewish prayer. If I went to a soccer game
in
Baghdad,
I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer. If I went
to a
ping pong match in China, I would expect to hear
someone
pray
to Buddha. And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't
bother
me one bit. When in Rome... "But what about the
atheists?"
is another argument. What about them? Nobody is
asking
them to be baptized.. We're not going to
pass the
collection
plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds.. If that's
asking
too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs.
Go to
the
bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your
lawyer.
Unfortunately, one or two will make that
call.
One or two will tell thousands what they can and
cannot
do.
I don't think a short prayer at a football game is
going
to
shake the world's
foundations.
Christians are just sick and tired of turning the
other
cheek while our courts strip us of all our
rights.
Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray
before
eating, to pray before we go to
sleep.
Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a
handful
of people and their lawyers are telling us to
cease
praying.
God, help us. And if that last sentence offends
you,
well..........just sue me. The silent majority has
been
silent
too long.. it's time we let that one or two who
scream
loud enough to be heard, that the vast majority
don't
care
what they want.. it is time the majority rules!
It's
time
we tell them, you don't have to pray.. you don't
have to
say
the pledge of allegiance, you don't have to
believe in God
or
attend services that honor Him. That is your
right,
and
we will honor your right....but by golly, you are
no
longer
going to take our rights away. We are fighting
back....and
we
WILL WIN! God bless us one and all, especially
those
who denounce Him... God bless America, despite all
her
faults,
she is still the greatest nation of
all.....
God bless our service men who are fighting to
protect our
right
to pray and worship God... (and those who
have just returned
home,
THANK YOU for all you've done to help keep us
safe)May 2005 be
the
year the silent majority is heard and we put God
back as the foundation of
our
families and institutions. Keep looking up......
In God WE
Trust.
If you agree with this, please pass it on. If
not, God bless you
too!
