I don't agree with Darwin, but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my

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.

And we are in the Bible Belt. 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 just 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! After all the God you have the
right to denounce is on our side!

God bless us one and all, especially those who denounce Him...

God bless America, despite all her faults.. still the greatest nation of
all.....

God bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right to pray
and worship God...

May 2003 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
