Today at In God We Trust
| Daily Report May 23, 2013 |
| I would like to share with you today a comment we received from Thomas F. of Kansas who wrote, "What is with these atheists? Do they really think that just because they say that God doesn't exist, that He doesn't? They remind me of babies who play peek-a-boo; they cover their eyes with their hands, and suddenly mama isn't there." I think that is an excellent question Thomas and I thank you for your thoughts. |

In a Washington Post article about the Supreme Court reviewing whether a New York town council's before meeting prayer violates the separation of church and state, senior counsel David Cortman from Alliance Defending Freedom said in a statement, "Americans today should be as free as the Founders were to pray. The founders prayed while drafting our Constitution's Bill of Rights, and the Supreme Court ruled that public prayer is part of the 'history and tradition of this country.'" In God We Trust agrees wholeheartedly with Mr. Cortman. |
