Godless people are dictating the rules

At the end of World War II this nation sang its praises to Almighty God for our victory, our churches swelled with song and our pastors praised Him.

Today, too many people are cursing God. Our songs praising Him are no longer sung. Our pastors are cowed into silence. We are allowing atheists and godless judges dictate to us what we can say, hear and see.

How long do we think that we can live like this before God turns his back to us?

Without God’s Ten Commandments we would not have civilization as we know it. Only the strongest would live and keep what they had through brute force. Anarchy would be the law of the day. Is that what we want? Not for me.

Today, we cannot claim to be a Christian nation. According to some, we cannot have God anywhere in our daily lives. Out go the Ten Commandments, out goes God when we pledge allegiance to our flag! Forget that for over 200 years we have had God in our lives and our government without any government sponsored religion.

Forget that the fathers of our country prayed daily to the Almighty for help and guidance. Forget that during every war that we have had to fight we’ve turned to God for guidance and victory.

Our jails are full of men and women who have disobeyed one or more of God’s Ten Commandments. We must get rid of these godless judges if we are to survive as a nation.
