HOORAY,
HOORAY, HOORAY for Paul Harvey. I myself have been grumbling and
wondering how a handful of people have been able to take our right to
pray in public places away from us. So, agreeing with Paul, I GLADLY
will forward this email AGAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN.
Folks,
this is the Month that we RE-TAKE AMERICA
*********
Get Ready
*********
Keep
this going around the globe ... read it and forward every time you
receive it. We can't give up on this issue.
Paul Harvey and
Prayer
Paul
Harvey says:
I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to
sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I don't
agree with Darwin , but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high
school teacher taught his Theory of Evolution.
Life, liberty or
your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a
30-second prayer before a football game. So what's the big deal?
It's not like somebody is up there reading the entire Book of
Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and asking him
to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home from
the game.
But it's a Christian prayer, some will
argue.
Yes, and this is the United States of America , a country
founded on Christian principles. According to our very own phone book,
Christian churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1. So
what would you expect -- somebody chanting Hare Krishna?
If I
went to a football game Jerusalem ,
I
would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.
If
I went to a soccer game in Baghdad , I would expect to hear a Muslim
prayer.
If I went to a ping pong match in China , I would expect
to hear someone pray to Buddha.
And
I wouldn't be offended.
It
wouldn't bother me one bit.
When in Rome ...
But what about
the atheists? Is another argument.
What about them?
Nobody
is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the
collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If that's
asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs. Go to the
bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer!
Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two
will tell thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short
prayer at a football game is going to shake the world's
foundations.
Christians are just sick and tired of turning the
other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our
parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating, to pray before
we go to sleep. Our
Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people
and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying.
God,
help us. And if that last sentence offends you, well, just sue
me.
The silent majority has been silent too long. It's time
we tell that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard that the vast
majority doesn't care what they want. It is time that the majority
ru les! It's time we tell them, You don't have to pray; you don't
have to say the Pledge of Allegiance; you don't have to believe in God
or attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will
honor your right; but by golly, you are no longer going to take our
rights away. We are fighting back, and we WILL WIN!
God
bless us one and all ... especially those who denounce
Him
,
God bless America, despite all her faults. She is still the
greatest nation of all. God
bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right to pray and
worship God.
Let's make
2008
the
year the silent majority is heard and we put God back as the foundation
of our families and institutions ... and our military forces come home
from all the wars.
Keep looking
up.
If you agree with this, please pass it
on.
If not delete it.
"AND THAT'S THE REST OF THE
STORY"
