DANGEROUS TIMES TO KNOCK GOD AROUND

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

But some will still do it, or try to.
So Matt Hughes walked into his post office. There he saw a sign that has been hanging since 9/11/01. It reads: "God Bless America."

With that Hughes refused to pray, that is, he claims that threesome is prayer. It must not be posted in a government owned postal room. Therefore, he told the postmaster to remove the poster. So the postmaster removed it to a back room somewhere, per the Santa Maria Times via Scott Norvell on Fox News.

Now this is not the time to absent God from anything. Yet Hughes and such will test the divine patience to the limit.
It’s all about separation of church and state, he says. Not so. Separation of church and state refers to no denomination being supported by the government, of which there is no such denomination in the US supported by the government. The Church of England is supported by that government; but such a creature does not exist in America.

In fact the First Amendment gives free religious expression its wide breadth. However, the likes of Hughes and the ACLU don’t see that; therefore, the demonic beat goes on.
"’They posted a religious expression, in this case, a prayer, and it's not the business of our government to be promoting religion,’ Hughes said.

"The postmaster to whom he complained moved the poster to a back room out of public view. It had been hanging on a wall above the customer service counter since shortly after 9/11/01."

If you care to, you might offer a prayer for Hughes. One of these days he’s going to need it.
