This article appeared in World Net Daily on October 3, 2010 – “Barack Obama twice in recent days has dropped from a quotation from the Declaration of Independence a reference to the "Creator," and now a columnist at First Things has documented how a self-described “leading progressive legal organization” has simply dropped "under God" from the Gettysburg Address.”
Robert George, the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton, writing in the August/September edition of the First Things website, notes that the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy was distributing copies of a pamphlet with the Declaration of Independence, the Gettysburg Address and the Constitution. In it, they alter the last paragraph to leave out “under God”. What Lincoln actually said at Gettysburg was: 'That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom."
Why is it that our government is making so much effort to remove God from our history? Could it be that they don’t want to acknowledge the superior power, or do they think they are superior to God? Are they afraid of a loving God because they don’t know anything about Him? Are they cowards who are afraid to stand for Jesus Christ? Are they trying to appease the ACLU, atheists, Muslims or other anti-Christian groups? What is going on here?
I am outraged at this constant and obvious attempt to destroy our nation’s Christian heritage and remove any reference to God from the founding documents on which our nation is based. It is time to put a stop to it.
In Matthew 10:32-33 Jesus says: 32 “Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.”
Jesus Christ did more for mankind than all of the rest of mankind put together. As God, the Son, He died for our sins and showed us how to live. God created us for the purpose of a loving relationship. That separates the true Creator God of Christians and Jews from all other man-made gods who demand works or they punish you.
All of our founding fathers and Presidents (except Barak Obama) have acknowledged our dependence on God to maintain our rights and freedoms. I am alarmed and frightened by a president who caters openly to the Muslim religion (of works, hatred and violence) and ignores the Christianity that has made the United States the great nation that allows other religions to exist without fear of persecution.
No one has the right to tell you and me what we can or cannot worship or believe. No one has the right to tell us that we can’t speak out for what we believe. (After all, those who seek to silence our speech are not silencing their “right” to speak their beliefs to all who are in hearing range.)
I challenge everyone of you to stand up and cry “FOUL” to those who seek to not recognized our dependence on God for guidance, direction, protection and all else. Fight for our freedom of religion and freedom of speech. Stand with me and declare that God is the Creator, Jesus Christ is His Son, our Lord and Savior and that we are a nation that was founded on Christian principles? We must not allow them to remove God or Creator from any of our founding documents.
Be vocal in your witness to those around you that the First Amendment says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
