In God We Trust
In God We Trust
I am looking over my lifetime of (74) years and I am just wondering what in the “hell” is happening to our country. I recently read on Yahoo News that some atheist is suing again to eliminate using “God” in the inauguration ceremonies in Washington. I got a little miffed and said to myself, “who in the hell does this guy think he is”? But, after I had enough mumble time to myself, I decided to get some questions answered for myself and perhaps for you also.
We hear everyday about the efforts to remove the word “God” from our public buildings, money, schoolbooks and anyplace where there is a reference to “God”. I am concerned because we, the people out number these protestors by such an enormous number, yet. we sit back and say to ourselves or friends “who do these people think they are? Don’t they know that we outnumber them?”
Well, I found the time to research atheism and went back to the days of Greek mythology and paganism. In just about every instance, atheism was defined as being without God or Godless. Sorry, I couldn’t find anyplace where any society in history placed atheism as the law of the land. There were some instances where paganism and atheism flourished along with loose morals, orgies and a total lack of respect for others and providing children with guidance.
So, this brings me back to this person trying to sue in US Federal Court to eliminate God from the inauguration and not to use the Bible at the swearing in ceremony. Throughout history, where tolerance was evident in the beliefs of their citizenry, those societies flourished because they had the benefit of intelligent minds
