Our government, and the complicit news media, continue to display a mindless insanity when it comes to so-called “separaton of church and state.” Two new issues have just surfaced, which would make the founding fathers of America turn over in their graves.
First, the current administration in Washington has eliminated the use of the name “God” in burial services at Arlington Cemetery. What nonsense! Essentially, prayers are not allowed. Fortunately, Congressmen are already taking this issue head-on and will probably succeed in seeing it reversed.
Second, atheists are now filing a lawsuit to prevent a cross from being part of the Ground Zero 9/11 memorial. Figures. The lawsuit hasn’t gone anywhere, but if history is reliable, it will gain traction among the ruling class.
This is all nonsense. No sensible person objects to the personal display of faith in public. We need to elect new representatives to send to Washington. As a Christian, I know of no one who wants to impose a state religion on others. But we can face the fact that this is a Christian nation. That truth hurts no one. If you travel to Japan, you will see Buddhist temples scattered throughout the nation. If you travel to India, you will see a Hindu temple every few blocks. Here in America you will see church steeples. Do we permit Hindu temples? Yes. Do we permit Muslim mosques? Of course. But we also permit Christians to pray, to acknowlege God, and to exercise their faith.
