Default DID YOU KNOW?

DID YOU KNOW?

As you walk up the steps to the building which houses
the U.S. Supreme Court you can see near the top of the
building a row of the world's law givers and each one
is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with
a full frontal view - it is Moses and he is holding
the Ten Commandments!


DID YOU KNOW?

As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge
oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each
lower portion of each door.


DID YOU KNOW?

As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall,
right above where the Supreme Court judges sit, a
display of the Ten Commandments!


DID YOU KNOW?

There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the
Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington, D.C.


DID YOU KNOW?

James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The
Father of Our Constitution" made the following
statement "We have staked the whole of all our
political institutions upon the capacity of mankind
for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all
of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to
sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of
God."


DID YOU KNOW?

Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our
country said, "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or
too often that this great nation was founded not by
religionists but by Christians, not on religions but
on the Gospel of Jesus Christ".


DID YOU KNOW?

Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a
paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the
taxpayer since 1777.


DID YOU KNOW?

Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were
members of the established orthodox churches in the
colonies.


DID YOU KNOW?

Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would
overstep their authority and instead of interpreting
the law would begin making law....an oligarchy....the
rule of few over many.


DID YOU KNOW?

The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said,
"Americans should select and prefer Christians as
their rulers."


How, then, have we gotten to the point that everything
we have done for 220 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and
unconstitutional?

Default RE: DID YOU KNOW?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.............

Seems pretty contradicting to me. I mean you got the founding fathers and law makers looking to God and the ten commandments for their laws.

You got our previous leaders saying that we should only be ruled by christians

You got Patrick Henry saying "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or
too often that this great nation was founded not by
religionists but by Christians, not on religions but
on the Gospel of Jesus Christ".



I don't think they knew what they wanted concerning religion. They write the first ammendment but then this is the way that they thought?

It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."
