ACLU Outraged Over Un-American Prayer

ACLU: Punish officials for 'un-American' prayer

April 7, 2005

The American Civil Liberties Union has asked a judge to hold a Louisiana school board in contempt because someone said a prayer over the PA system before a high-school baseball game.

For all true Christians...

Mat 6:6 When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

2Cr 6:15 What concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

Joe Cook, executive director of ACLU of Louisiana, claims members of the Tangipahoa Parish School Board should be fined or go to jail "for their calculated un-American and immoral conduct to embarrass, hinder or obstruct the court in the administration of justice."

The March 24 prayer came after a years-long legal battle waged against the district by the ACLU, which claims any prayer at a public-school event violates the First Amendment establishment clause. The original suit, one of three filed against the district in the last 10 years, was brought on behalf of a parent and his two children who were offended by the prayers before local football games. According to the Associated Press, part of the action was settled last year when the district agreed to ban all prayers at athletic events and other school functions.

"This marks the second contempt motion filed against the school board within the past two weeks for transgressions of injunctions related to the original lawsuit," the ACLU said in a statement. The other offense related to an elementary school student reciting the Lord's Prayer in a program before the March 15 school board meeting, as part of a program led by a teacher's aide.

The ACLU expressed outrage that, when Shane Tycer took the microphone to pray before the ballgame when the regular announcer was late, no school officials tried to stop him. The board pointed out Tycer is not a district employee so he was not bound by the court settlement. Cook noted neither the board nor superintendent has repudiated the prayer and called the late-announcer story a "lame explanation."

Said Cook: "The school board and its superintendent cannot get away with a shell game that mocks the judiciary and its role of interpreting and upholding the rule of law. It is time to put out the welcome mat to believers and non-believers alike at all public-school functions across the state and the nation. Children and parents whose beliefs are different from the majority must not be made to feel like outsiders in their own schools."

The ACLU claims the school board is guilty of a "pattern and practice of disobeying the law in order to promote Christianity over other religions in public schools."

"Public schools should be kept inclusive and secular in keeping with our founders’ ideas for religious liberty for all," Cook said.

Article. VII of the constitution of the United States of America:

Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America

The founding fathers of America left abundant proof of just where they stood concerning Christianity:

The first prayer in Congress, Sept. 24, 1774, in Philadelphia's Carpenters Hall:

Lord our Heavenly Father, High and Mighty King of kings, and Lord of lords, who dost from thy throne behold all the dwellers on earth and reignest with power supreme and uncontrolled over all the Kingdoms, Empires and Governments; look down in mercy, we beseech thee, on these our American States, who have fled to thee from the rod of the oppressor and thrown themselves on Thy gracious protection, desiring to be henceforth dependent on Thee, to Thee have they appealed for the righteousness of their cause; to Thee do they now look up for that countenance and support, which Thou alone canst give; take them, therefore, Heavenly Father, under Thy nurturing care; give them wisdom in Council and valor in the field; defeat the malicious designs of our cruel adversaries; convince them of the unrighteousness of their Cause and if they persist in their sanguinary purposes, of own unerring justice, sounding in their hearts, constrain them to drop the weapons of war from their unnerved hands in the day of battle!

Be Thou present, O God of wisdom, and direct the councils of this honorable assembly; enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundation. That the scene of blood may be speedily closed; that order, harmony and peace may be effectually restored, and truth and justice, religion and piety, prevail and flourish amongst Thy people. Preserve the health of their bodies and vigor of their minds; shower down on them and the millions they here represent, such temporal blessings as Thou seest expedient for them in this world and crown them with everlasting glory in the world to come.

All this we ask In the Name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy Son and our Savior. Amen." And the Lord blessed America - Because they had put their trust in Him.

Joe Cook said:

"Public schools should be kept inclusive and secular in keeping with our founders’ ideas for religious liberty for all,"

If the founding fathers agree with the ACLU - then why would they begin America with such a prayer???

Asking Joe Cook of the ACLU:

Would the founders of America approve of these?....

005.051 O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors{authorities] : They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them for friendship is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.

002.216 Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing [war] which is good for you and that ye love a thing [peace] which is bad for you?

009.039 Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place.

047.004 Therefore, when ye meet ''the Unbelievers'' in fight [jihad] smite at their necks. Behead them! Includes ALL who believe in the Son of God....

009.030 The Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; in this they but imitate what ''the unbelievers'' of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them how they are deluded away from the Truth! {Asking Joe Cook of the ACLU .... "immoral conduct" ?????

Why is Joe Cook fighting for such 'believers' to have equal rights in America? Would the founders of America approve?....

004.101 When ye travel - through the earth - there is no blame on you if ye shorten your prayers, for fear the Unbelievers May attack you: For "the Unbelievers" are unto you OPEN ENEMIES.

008.074 Those who believe, and adopt exile, and fight for the Faith, in the cause of Allah as well as those who give them asylum and aid, - these are all in very truth the Believers. \Treason!

009.004 But the treaties are not dissolved with those Pagans with whom ye have entered into alliance and who have not subsequently failed you in aught, nor aided any one against you. So fulfil your engagements with them to the end of their term.

009.005 But - when the forbidden months are past [when the 'treaties' expire} then fight and slay the Pagans "wherever" ye find them and seize them, beleaguer them and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war. {Asking Joe Cook of the ACLU .... "immoral conduct" ?????

009.029 Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission - and feel themselves subdued

008.067 It is not fitting for a prophet that he should have prisoners of war [slay them] until he hath thoroughly subdued the land. {Asking Joe Cook of the ACLU .... "un-American" ?????

Treason:

1. Violation of allegiance toward one's country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.

2. A betrayal of trust or confidence.

In the United States, treason is confined to the actual levying of war against the United States, or to an adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

Article. III. Section. 3. [of the U.S. Constitution]

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

Asking Joe Cook [of the ACLU]....

The ACLU expressed outrage over a prayer that some high school kid spoke...

What exactly is it - about the New Testament the ACLU objects to? Let them come forth with one single Christian Scripture [New Covenant] to make their case!

Mic 6:3 O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? Testify against Me. [ Mat 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

1Pe 2:8 A Stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

Luk 20:18 Whosoever shall fall upon that Stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

SEE} Stoning {The Lord NEVER aloud humans to pick up stones to throw at each other]

The ACLU has no case against the Lord - and yet - they keep attacking Him

If ever there was a major provoking for a huge fight - it is the Koran that offers one - NOT the New Testament!

Where is their OUTRAGE over the commands of the Koran? [a book that has FAR more power than some high school student]

Those commands are exceedingly wicked and vicious! They promote racism, bias and mass murder on a scale unlike anything else!

And they CLEARLY VIOLATE America's laws!

Where is Joe Cooks OUTRAGE?????

Why should American tax payers foot the legal bills for the ACLU - if the ACLU will not take a stand against such an enemy of America?

What has happened to America's justice system? that her judges are not able to comprehend the final results of feeding such wickedness to society?

Do they believe they'll escape the fruits of 'allah' ???

Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. The same goes for nations

Joe Cook of the ACLU is fighting for Islam to have equal rights in America?

The ACLU is giving AID and COMFORT to 'a body' that promotes treason - and mass murder... of

"the Unbelievers"

thereby, violating the constitution of the United States [a crime that they keep accusing others of]....

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

What is the punishment for Treason in America?

1Pe 4:17 The time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is punishable by the 'second' [eternal] death. [there was a death that reigned already Rom 5:14 ]

The ACLU doesn't care about the judgment of God. But they sure do express continued interest in mocking and abusing the constitution of the United States, written by men who feared the Lord.

Hypocrisy is anything whatever may deceive the cleverest and most penetrating man, but the least wide-awake of children recognizes it, and is revolted by it, however ingeniously it may be disguised.
