Suit claims recognition of God
violates law

Brief challenges plan to stop acknowledging prayer

A court should reject arguments from those who seek "relentless extirpation" of any reference to religion in public life, according to a brief submitted in opposition to a Wisconsin lawsuit that challenges the National Day of Prayer.

The lawsuit was filed by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, which asserted the law that sets the first Thursday in May as "National Day of Prayer" should be declared in violation of the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

The case pending in a Wisconsin court now, however, has drawn the attention of the American Center for Law and Justice, the ACLJ, which submitted a friend-of-the-court brief asking for the case to be dismissed

[glow=red,2,300]The assault on GOD continues.[/glow]

[hasset]

So many of the freedoms that even liberals like today have come from the Presbyterian church of Scotland. Our founding fathers modeled our early government after many things from that Church. I support Jay Sekulow 100%. I do not know why anyone gets warped out of shape if someone even mentions God or prayer. I remember as a child when my school had Christmas programs (old fashioned church songs) and the only Jewish child in school would participate without a complaint. I think people are getting to be too picky at each other. I hear and see so many things I do not like but when you are around lots of people, you have to have tolerance. The people who are assulting God are also going to lose some freedoms eventually if they get their own way.

Exactly, and they don't understand it.

When an assault on a persons claimed rights out weighs actual rights, there is a problem.

This was my response to liberals who claim this so called right, as posted on pineandlakes.com is response to a very same dilemna.

"I do not apologize that some of the things I say will upset, offend, or anger certain factions of society. There is no law against hurting peoples feelings, neither is it a right not to be offended.

I serve Jesus first and foremost. Everywhere Jesus went, people were offended as well. Are you saying that Christ should have kept His mouth shut as well? Matthew 13:57, Matthew 15:12, Matthew 26:31 ..and more. Yes people were offended with Him, yet He never apologized for it, His words or actions. Some must learn to understand, that the fault of the offense is rarely that of the offender, but almost always of the offended. An apology is rarely due and unwise, as a person would be apologizing for doing nothing wrong. When the truth is spoken by Christ, or through Christ in Christians, many will be offended. Period. We do not do so deliberately, but as a consequence of showing our faith."

There is a reason for the 1st Amendment. Not to protect someones ears or feelings, but so Congress or the Courts could not prohibit free exercise of religion. The National Day of Prayer is a tradition, started by men much wiser than the average man. Whether it was G. Washingtons prayer for America or a national day of Thanksgiving, we are all grateful to the Creator, our GOD, who made this the greatest nation on earth.
