REV. ROBERT SCHENCK: Well, what's so significant is first of all what's at
question here, and that is a
monument and let's keep in mind what this is. It's a privately funded
piece of art that acknowledges the
supremacy of God over our nation and the very basis of our system of law
and justice, right and wrong,
our whole concept of morality in this country, and this is a perfectly
legal expression. It's no different than
our national motto, "in God we trust," no different than our pledge of
allegiance, to one nation under God;
no different than the supreme court's prayer every time it sits to hear a
case when it says "God save the
United States and this honorable court." This is just another form of that
acknowledgment of God.
This is why it's important to take "In God We Trust" off our currency and
take "under god" out of our pledge. Everything this idiot mentioned should
be fixed.
