the courts started their assault on God by banning school prayer. The courts then banned the public display of the Christmas nativity scene. The courts then banned students from writing papers about Jesus. Now, if that is not enough to say the devil perhaps made them do it, check this out, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that Ohio's motto with God all things are possible is unconstitutional. Unbelievable Congress, what is next? Will ``In God We Trust'' be taken from the House Chamber? ``In God We Trust'' be removed from our currency? Beam me up, I say these judges make decisions while sitting on their brains. I yield back the fact that a nation that bans God I believe promotes the devil.
