A broad coalition of atheists and humanists has filed a lawsuit to remove the words "so help me God" from the end of Barack Obama's oath of office at the inauguration.CNN is also reporting that the lawsuit seeks to prevent Rev. Rick Warren and Rev. Joseph Lowery from delivering an invocation and a benediction at the ceremony.
The driving force behind this lawsuit is atheist activist Michael Newdow.
Newdow filed similar suits over inauguration ceremonies in 2001 and 2005 that were ultimately unsuccessful.
Those joining Newdow in this lawsuit include the American Humanist Association, the Freedom from Religion Foundation and other atheist groups from Minnesota, Washington and Florida.
The reality is that America has been rejecting God for a long time and has tried to eliminate every reference to God from public life.
If only America would change course and turn back to God.
If only America would put 2 Chronicles 7:14 into action.....
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

Is it not possible to have morals without faith in a god? Seems awfully judgemental and shallow, but then again clear thought and faith don't go together real well anyway.
Don't worry, the atheists' plot is doomed to failure ... because "so help me God" is ALREADY not in the oath of office. Read the constitution.

This blog would be a lot more fun to criticize if it made sense from time to time.
