Erasing God

I just read a story yesterday about a public school's rendition of the Thanksgiving story. It's absurdity is shocking. In an effort to clean every mention of God or religion or prayer from a holiday established specifically for giving thanks to God the school has made the story almost unrecognizable. On one hand, the Thanksgiving distortion is being read to the students in spanish, so as not to neglect any culture but the religious nature of the holiday is being completely swept away. Is that deceitful ommission not discriminatory against Christians and those who wish to give thanks to God?

This goes well beyond separating church and state. This particular instance rewrites history. Have your children read George Washington's declaration of the holiday as it was originally established. And give thanks to God for all He has done for you.
If you don't believe in God... you're welcome to hold any opinion here in America... good for you. I will not force you to come to my church or to pray to my God. But let's not forget that it was God fearing men and women who established this country. It was God fearing men and women who wrote the documents that give you the freedom of (or from) religion and it was God fearing men and women who have consistently given their lives to ensure those freedoms. Don't belittle their sacrifices by denying their contributions. Don't celebrate Thanksgiving if it offends you.

In the world of political correctness will we forget that George Washington was a white man? Will we rewrite history so that some of founding fathers were women and minorities? Will we only remember the person who sewed the flag and forget Betsy Ross? Will we only remember the person who crossed the Delaware and forget George Washington?

A belief in God is woven into the fabric of this country. Freedom to worship God (or abstain from worshipping) as each person chooses to do so is granted so that this nation's government would not have the power to enforce one religion or the other. Forgetting that the men and women who were instrumental to her creation were also prayerful, religous, pious and godly would be bad history.
