A somewhat satirical look at a controversial decision of the 9th Circuit Court in California... Oh, dear, the Court has really gone and done it now... And as a result, will we face God's wrath (and how)? We can't say, "One Nation, Under God" any more... When we never had a problem with it before! (At least, 'til now, I don't think we did.) I have been saying "Under God" for all these years... Tell me, why should the Ninth Court have to interfere?? Someone doesn't believe in God...they do have that right... Just don't infringe on MINE--I'll say it just for spite!! (If I do say it, should I stay hid?) What are they gonna do, arrest the whole Nation? Could turn out to be an ugly situation... Throw the kids in jail! And the politicians, too! The President's guilty! So are many of you!! (This could become a nasty mess.) If I can't say "Under God," what then will I say?? Do I say the name of some other god? No WAY! Our Country was based on Biblical foundation... If we deny God...we've sealed our own damnation. (God...forgive us, America bless.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, UNDER GOD!!!, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice...for ALL. AMEN!!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I'm guilty. What are ya gonna do???

Whether we believe it ot not, we are under God's authority. The problem is that man wants to be under man's own soul authority, and take God out of every picture, but that is a fight man will never win.

Luckily this was not the Supreme Court... this was the 9th circuit... out of CA... they are known for such decisions. They have already began to reconsider. I'm not sure it all bothers god. Nice write.
