DID YOU KNOW? As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the
U.S Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the
world's law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is
facing forward with a full frontal view .. it is Moses and he is holding
the Ten Commandments!

DID YOU KNOW?
As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have
the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door.


DID YOU KNOW?
As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall,
right above where the Supreme Court judges sit,
a display of the Ten Commandments!


DID YOU KNOW?
There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings
and Monuments in Washington, D.C.


DID YOU KNOW?
James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of Our
Constitution" made the following statement:

"We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the
capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and
all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain
ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."


DID YOU KNOW?
Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country said:
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great
nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on
religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ".


DID YOU KNOW?
Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose
salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.


DID YOU KNOW?
Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the
established orthodox churches in the colonies.


DID YOU KNOW?
Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority
and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law an oligarchy,
the rule of few over many.


DID YOU KNOW?
The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said:

"Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers."

How, then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for
220 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional?

It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore, it is very
hard to understand why there is such a mess about having the Ten
Commandments on display or "In God We Trust" on our money and having God
in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the
Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17

AB honey; I am no authority. All I understand of the Bible and prayer is
that it is supposed to be through Jesus (the Son), that we get to
God(mine),(god) to some. It is my hope that all who believe in God(mine)
(or god) have a path to Him.
hugs, Kat

I sincerly hope that no christian is elected into office. Why?

I sincerely hope that some of you would regard me as a christian - so
I'm not "anti-christian" in any sense. Fact is that politicians have to
lie to keep their jobs. Its a "must have" trait. I dont want any further
slander against christians from an oppurtunist president.

just makes a mockery of the majority of good-hearted ppl who beleive.

I really hope that just because we have corrupt politicians, doesn't
mean to some that all people who believe in a God, god, are the same. We
put those idiots in office. When are we gonna wake up and see them for
the lies and not what we want to believe? This country was built on a
God based belief and leaders that were at least honest and what they
said was what they meant. Before all the money came into play.
I wish they were all like that Governor (Mayor?)in New York. He takes
1.00 a year as his pay for being their Governor. This is a guy that has
his own money.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if they used their own money to run for these
offices, instead of using tax dollars and fund raisers to get their
positions? Since when did it become so expensive to run for office? Why
should we as citizens have to pay for their job hunt? No one pays for me
to look for a job.

It just irritates the hell out of me to hear people tear apart the
Constitution. But, it is done everyday. It is like everything else. We
can make it be what we want it to be. Our forefathers would roll over in
their graves.
