George Washington himself said.........."It is impossible to govern rightly without God and the Bible"

what exactly is he (Mike Pence) forcing into government?.... :confused:

He simply gave a speech, with his regards to prayer.....

A really funny speech, too!  I love the irony of seeing weenies who never saw fit to serve their countries themselves use the symbolism of war to make a point.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

I believe that we are one catastrophe away from becoming a MORE Christian, America...

Look back at 9/11........there was Christians crawling out of the wood work......

Religion is not the only entity that requires faith. Science does as well; it is just that a lot of scientists have not figured that out yet!  :wink: :smile:

I watched a broadcast about this last night and there was one thing that stood out that really bothered me.  MEGACHURCHES!  Have you ever been in one of these?  I have.  They have teller lines so you can pay your offering complete with ATM machines and credit card machines.  Maybe this is the reason people are staying clear of the organized religion.  If the church starts to feel like the country club and everyone is one upping each other, I want nothing to do with it!

Which leads me to believe, and I'm an example of, people don't need a building to believe in God.  I don't need people telling me how much to pay them or how many times I have to come to "be in the club".  I find that disturbing.  I see nothing wrong with going to a different church each week and I should be welcomed in as a fellow Christian and not as a potential payment.  I stay out of churches because as a child and young adult I found myself learning quickly about the hypocrisies that are involved.

Such wit!  Do you have a team of writers working for you or do you come up with these all by yourself?   :rolleyes:
