I fail to understand why this great country of ours is constantly attacked by civil liberties groups, in an attempt to abolish all forms of God from all government institutions, or anything that is government subsidized, like our public schools. The oath of office to be sworn in with, at most government posts, whether is be legislative or judicial ends in So help me God, including the office of the President of the United States. Shall we remove this ending from the oath and just take a chance that they will do the best that they can, because they are such a nice person? When we are in a court of law, should we not ask a witness who is about to give testimony an oath to give, The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and then not add So help me God, which is meant to hold them accountable to a higher authority? While we are at it, shall we burn all the U.S. currency and re-mint every coin so that we can remove the phrase In God We Trust? Our country has always been deeply rooted with God interwoven throughout it as a way of life; personally, publicly, fraternally and throughout our government. This relationship with God is a character trait as patriotic as any other identifying mark that you can associate our United States of America with as a symbol of who we are. Next they will want to change and take out One nation under God in the pledge of allegiance? George Washington once said, It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible. Do not ever let anyone claim to be a true American patriot it they ever attempt to separate Religion from politics. Most historians regard George Washington as one of our greatest leaders. Could have George Washington felt this way, and knew something that we now regard as useless and intrusive in our land of the free, and home of the brave? What are we coming to in this great land when some go out of their way to wipe out any form of God in our government that has been a strong way of life for America? I can only hope that our families fight this challenge to abolish God from our government at all levels and do not let this happen! Steven Coffman
