My wish is to see the return of Godliness and God-fearing citizens in our society. But as it turns out, the separation of church and state has become the rule, rather than the exception, in our way of doing things. America is a free country... so be it!
Nevertheless, I really believe that if every man and woman in our world will believe in a Supreme Force, adhere to the Golden Rule, and live each day being an asset to the community, there will not be a reason to Agree or Delete.

This is by a daughter of a murdered couple in Raytown , MO , who had a Bible and Bookstore on 63rd street .. She says:
When I had to testify at the murder trial of my parents a week ago, I was asked to raise my right hand... The bailiff started out "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?"
I stood there and waited but she said nothing. She said "Do you?"
I was so stunned I blurted out "What happened to "so help me God'?"
She came back with "Do you?" I replied yes, but I was perplexed.
Then the judge said . "You can say that if you want to."
I stopped, raised my right hand, and finished with "So help me God!"
I told my son and daughter that when it came time for them to testify, they should do the same.
I don't know what can be done about it, but it's time for us to step up and DO something.
NBC this morning had a poll on this question.. They had the highest number of responses that they have ever had for one of their polls, and the percentage was the same as this: 86% to keep the words, 14% against... That is a pretty 'commanding' public response.
I was asked to send this on if I agreed... or delete if I didn't.
Now it is your turn. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God.
Therefore, I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a mess about having "In God We Trust" on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Why is America -- our nation -- catering to this 14%? If you agree, pass this on, if not, simply delete....
In God We Trust

If You Choose To Delete
Perhaps Then You Are Part Of The Problem
Me? I'm Passing It On.
It seems to get worse daily.
