I got this at work from one of my co-workers, who is a Christian. I think she means well, but doesn't understand the scope of this email. LJ Cut because it's long and I wasn't going to go through the tedious process of putting in all the photos the email includes. lol I also edited it to be more reader friendly. There's no evidence that I can tell from the email who put it together. With the way email forwards are, it's probably impossible to tell.

How then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 220 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and constitutional? Lets put it around the world and let the world see and remember what this great country was built on. [picture of statue of moses]
I was asked to send this on if I agreed or delete if I didn't. Now it is your turn...

It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore, it is very hard to understand why there is such a mess about having the Ten Commandments on display or "In God We Trust" on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the other 14% to Sit Down and SHUT UP!!!
If you agree, pass this on.
Needless to say, I passed it on to a few friends who might find this interesting and not the kind that would forward it around because they believe in it and then deleted it, after making a copy to post here.
My favorite part is underlined and bolded there at the end. Somehow I don't think Jesus would agree with that.
Anyone want to make our own version to forward around as a rebuttle? *evilgrin*
