The long slow attack on the mention of God, Christ, and the divine nature of our country has been going on for decades and the course of history is proving that we as a country are paying the price.

“In 1962, the Supreme Court in the New York prayer case banned the…saying of prayers. In 1963, the Court banned the reading of the Bible in our public schools. From that point on, the courts pushed the meaning of the ruling ever outward, so that now our children are not allowed voluntary prayer. We even had to pass a law just a few weeks ago- to allow student prayer groups the same access to school rooms after classes that a Young Marxist Society, for example, would already enjoy with no opposition…

The 1962 decision opened the way to a flood of similar suits. Once religion had been made vulnerable, a series of assaults were made in one court after another, on one issue after another. Cases were started to argue against tax-exempt status for churches. Suits were brought to abolish the words “Under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance, and to remove “In God We Trust” from public documents and from our currency. Without God there is no virtue because there is no prompting of the conscience…without God there is a coarsening of the society, without God democracy will not and cannot long endure…If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a Nation gone under.” -August 23, 1984- Spoken at the Ecumenical Prayer Breakfast, Dallas, Texas by President Ronald Reagan.

Our Father loves all of us, saints and sinners alike,  but history has proven that when the people forget their creator, the creator ceases to bless and protect them.
