American Atheists Inc. a national group taking the state of Kentucky for a clause in the state law that says, “safety and security of the Commonwealth cannot be achieved apart from reliance upon Almighty God.” Their leader Ed Buckner says that the state Is putting the responsibility of protecting its citizens in the hands of a “mythological creature.”
Now I don’t find Buckner’s statement too shocking, seeing that he is operating under the belief that he is in total control of his own being and existence. That all protection for his life, and the life of his family is in the hands of the authorities and the state of Kentucky. Because he has no belief in God, he feels that he should be separated from the state amendment that recognizes the Lord our God as the protector of those who know and love Him. I respect (but do not agree) with his wish to believe that he is not under God’s protection, but do not understand why this amendment is drawing such a fight from a group that does not believe it is valid. If they do not believe in it, then why does it really matter to them anyway? Those such as myself, that don’t believe or agree with the “Theory of Evolution” are not fighting to have it banished , never to be printed again. We simply believe and teach our children the truth about it, and move on.
It often amazes me when the Freedom of Speech amendment comes into play and is the opposite of what the radicals believe. When they have something to say that pushes their agenda, it’s the first thing they mention. But when that amendment backs something in regards to God, and us speaking His word, it suddenly becomes null and void in their eyes. It no longer applies, and should not be mentioned. But when they want to speak out about how God does not exist it is suddenly valid again.
This country was based on the bible and the Word of God, whether they want to accept that or not. The forefathers of this country had the wisdom to recognize God and how we must depend on Him for our life, protection, health, and prosperity. It is because of groups like the American Atheists doing everything they can to move this country away from God, that has opened us up to the very fears we must face every day. The removal of prayer in school has created a haven of violence and immorality that our children must face every day. Children must spend 7 hours a day without that reminder or recognition of God’s protection over them. The image of the 10 Commandments that used to be posted in the classrooms, no longer act as a sin deterrent. So they are open to the threats of a world run by an enemy that wants to kill them and rob them of God’s destiny for their lives! The removing of God from our country has stripped us of the protection from terrorist that want to destroy us and cause this country to no longer exist. God’s hand of protection is the very reason this country has not suffered the calamities that many countries around the world have suffered. Not our military might, nor border security, being the reason. The surge of undocumented people in our country is proof that the border protection is not saving us from the terrorist that wish to enter our country and do harm to us. But as God is pushed away more and more, we have suffered evidence that His hand of protection is being removed. 911, Katrina, the current recession, are all examples. Now can you really imagine our country totally without the hand of God upon us? I pray that we never have to find out what that would be like. But we that believe in God and His protection have to stand up and fight these groups. We can no longer remain silent when they attempt to push our God away. Our very existence depends upon it! We must view them as the same threat that they view God being mentioned in our amendments, our pledges, in our court rooms and government buildings. The Word of God is the rock that this country was built on, and that is the strongest foundation we could have ever had. Just like any house, when you remove the foundation, there is nothing that will keep it standing!!
If those that don’t want to be reminded of God don’t like it, let them move to another country that feels the same way. Then we will see how long they last.
You know it’s kind of funny that they don’t want to be reminded of God, but they work every day trying to obtain money that has God written all over it!! Don’t see them handing it back because they are offended. And all these countries that hate us (really because of our acknowledgement of our Lord Jesus Christ) would rather convert their foreign currency to US dollars because of its higher value! When a certain dictator was on the run from our military, the first thing he did was go to the bank and retrieve as much money as he could get his hands on. In US currency!!
