Atheists sue to keep 'In God We Trust' off Capitol
Visitor Center

Congress will spend nearly
$100,000 to engrave the words "In God We Trust " and the Pledge of
Allegiance in prominent spots at the Capitol Visitor Center …. Lungren's
proposal drew only a whimper of opposition last week when the House of Representatives
voted 410-8 to approve it.

The Wisconsin -based Freedom
From Religion Foundation Inc. sued this week to stop the engraving, accusing
Lungren of trying to force his religious beliefs on as many as 15 percent of
all U.S. adults. That comprises "atheists, agnostics, skeptics and
freethinkers, none of whom possess a belief in a god," according to the
lawsuit.

"It really is aJudeo-Christian endorsement by our government, and so Lungren is wrong,"
said Dan Barker of Madison, Wis., a co-president of the foundation.
"Lungren and others are pro-religious, and they want to actually use the
machinery of government to promote their particular private religious views.
That is unconstitutional, and that's what we're asking the court to decide."….

The Freedom From Religion
Foundation , which has 13,500 members, sued in U.S. District Court in Wisconsin
. It alleges that Congress is trying to make belief in God synonymous with
citizenship and "discouraging nonbelief" among Americans, a contention
that Lungren rejects.

Lungren said that the phrase
"In God We Trust " had a long history and was consistent with the
beliefs of America's founding fathers. He also said that the Declaration of
Independence referred to rights given by a creator….

"What we're doing is making
a specific historical reference to the beginnings of this republic," he
said. "To ignore this or to forbid this statement or something like it to
appear is to distort history. . . . We're not trying to change history. We're
trying to enshrine history in the Capitol Visitor Center ."

The foundation of our country is currently and has been
under attack by those who wish to remove God from which our country was founded
and stands "In God We Trust" and our Christian faith in Jesus Christ,
our Lord and Savior! Please see the wonderful
Youtube video and Resolution (below) of a government leader's stance on the
American dream of our God given freedom and Christian faith that has blessed
the "United States" of America... and is standing up for that very
foundation! I think the enemies of God and America also would like to divide
America because as they know a house that is divided will not stand.

Please join in praying hard for more leaders to speak up for American’s
Christian faith in Christ , encourage other leaders to speak, and to pray for
our leaders in office to be vessels of God’s Will, especially during these
difficult times... and so that many others will be blessed as well… and that
the darts of the enemies against Christianity and the “United States of
America” not only return void, but good things come from it, that God is
glorified and His people blessed. (Romans 8:28).

You can see America’s Spiritual Heritage
Resolution (formerly H.Res.888 in the 110th Congress) proposed by Randy
Forbes of Virginia as well as 74 other representatives who also stand for this Resolution! Praise
God, glory and honor to our Lord and Savior and King of Kings, Jesus Christ!
Amen and Amen!! This is becoming increasingly
rare for our governmental leaders to stand firm on the foundation of America
that has blessed America so much, gained our freedom and the American dream …
“In God We Trust.” I am concerned that
if we do not keep praying for the USA, our leaders and our Christian faith… we
may lose so much that we have been blessed with and our freedoms by taking for
granted our blessings.

May He give us a heart of Christ full of His love. May God continue to bless America and may the
Christian faith of Americans continue to be a Light to the world even in dark
times!! May God bless you and your
family.
