Lord’s Prayer And Ten Commandments Sevierville TN
Americans United For Separation (AU), a Washington based legal group, sent a letter to the County Commission requesting the Sevier County Commission cease opening their meetings with The Lord’s Prayer and remove a poster of the Ten Commandments posted in the court house. It is said the letter contained several innuendos as to possible legal action if the requests are not met.
According to The Mountain Press, County Mayor Larry Waters vowed to dig in against the demand. Mayor Waters has opened County Commission meetings for 32 years with a prayer, so on an election year folks are sure to be watching how true he is to his words.
The Americans United For Separation group say they are against no religion, but want separation of religion from government. This seems a load of crap, if they really want separation then start from the top down. Attack the US Mint and stop the Federal Government from issuing billions in legal tender daily with the words “In God We Trust”. Seemingly they chip at small towns for easy pray, in turn shredding the moral fiber of the U.S. and its government.
Our forefathers set the Constitution after fleeing religious tierany and oppression. They did not turn their backs on their faith in God. They sought only the freedom to worship as their faith lead them. United States history has recorded throughout its entire existence the public display of government leaders looking to faith for leadership and resolution.
No where did it appear the person(s) having complained to The Americans United For Separation seek to first resolve their issues at the local level. Appears they just drug the issue to The Americans United For Separation to get attention. Shame on such cowardice, if this is true.
No matter the faith, it appeares that when some form of religious fiber is intertwined with government, it is much better for all than a government lead with no moral fiber at all.
