“Your national greatness, swelling vanity; your denunciation of tyrants, brass-fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade and solemnity, are, to Him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy-a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages.” AmericaNationsReligiousPrayerLibertyCrimeGreatnessMereVanityDeceptionHypocrisyFraudTyrantsSavagesVeilsSermonsHollowOur PrayersDisgraceMockeryParadesHymnsAbolitionCover UpsBrassSwellingSolemnityLiberty And EqualityImpudence Author:Frederick Douglass
“Jerry Falwell knows who caused the terrorist attack on America: the ACLU. "The ACLU's got to take a lot of blame for this," he declared on the 700 Club, because, he explained, the ACLU, abetted by the federal courts is responsible for "throwing God out of the public square (and) the public schools." This is a familiar charge and a false one. God is still present in the public schools, where students are free to pray, alone or in groups, so long as their prayers aren't officially sponsored and don't infringe on anyone's freedom not to pray.” KnowsLongStillsSchoolAmericaPrayerGroupsStudentsPrayingResponsibleBlameCourtClubsTerroristFamiliarThrowingSquaresPublic SchoolJerryTerrorist Attacks Author:Wendy Kaminer
“But when I saw the cursive grace of Guido Rahr's fly line writing prayers I couldn't read to the river gods of Outer Mongolia, I knew my name was written there too. Fly fishing was going to be my version of my father's sport, my nod to my Scottish ancestors and to my self, and to the fish crazed part of America I had claimed as my own.” WritingSelfAmericaFatherNamesSportsLinesMy OwnPrayerSawsGraceWrittenSeaRiversFishesVersionsBoatLakesFishingAncestorScottishFly FishingMongoliaCursiveGuidos Author:Jessica Maxwell
“Scripture says: "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted." I call on every American family and the family of America to observe a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance, honoring the memory of the thousands of victims of these brutal attacks and comforting those who lost loved ones. We will persevere through this national tragedy and personal loss. In time, we will find healing and recovery; and, in the face of all this evil, we remain strong and united, "one Nation under God."” HumorAmericaFacesPoliticalEvilLostStrongNationsMemoriesPrayerLossUnitedHealingTragedyVictimBlessedScriptureRecoveryLoved OnesLost LoveBrutalRemembranceComfortingPersevereMournPolitical HumorAmerican FamilyOne Nation Under GodBlessed Are ThoseLost Loved OnesNational Day Of PrayerPersonal Loss Author:George W.

“Pat, did you notice yesterday the ACLU, and all the Christ-haters, People For the American Way, NOW, etc. were totally disregarded by the Democrats and the Republicans in both houses of Congress as they went out on the steps and called out on to God in prayer and sang "God Bless America" and said "let the ACLU be hanged"? In other words, when the nation is on its knees, the only normal and natural and spiritual thing to do is what we ought to be doing all the time - calling upon God.” PeopleWaySaidHumorAmericaSpiritualHouseNationsChristNaturalReligiousPrayerStepsOughtCallingRepublicanNormalDemocratCongressPositive AtheismYesterdayKneesThings To DoEtcBlessGod BlessDisregardedGod Bless America Author:Jerry Falwell
