Letters
to the Editor:
American tax payers are paying some $400,000 to for the Chaplains
Offices, so that the chaplains are there to open the legislative
sessions with a prayer to God for guidance. And even give guidance
in the legislators private lives. But in our schools, where the
Nation's future leaders outlook on life is molded, the word God
is forbidden. Our leaders should stop this shameful hypocrisy. The
Founding Fathers believed in God, but did not want the new Republic
to discriminate anyone because of one's RELIGION, (the way to serve
God), as was happening in England and many other countries in the
world. Separation of Religion (Church), and State is not the same
as Separation of God and State. The Native Americans, Moslemism,
Judaism, Christianity all encourage to honor and serve God, the
maker of heaven and earth, but in different ways. Our God should
be honored in our Constitution, as it is in the Declaration of Independence.
That should put an end to these frivolous lawsuits, and allow prayers,-
and if the tax payers so desire, like for the legislators; even
chaplains for the school children.
