Have government and religion gotten to tied together now?

Question

Since Bush

Answer 1

Bush as successfully bypassed Congress over 800 times using what is called executive orders...

Some of those executive orders were for his Faith-Based Initiative programs that clearing violate separation of church and state; therefore, are unconstitutional.

IE, HR 921 moved the Faith-Based Initiative headquarters within the Homeland Security department. What does that tell you? It tells me that defending against terrorism has something to do with Christianity.

So to answer your question, yes they have.

Answer 2

Yes, but not only since President Bush, This country was founded on religion. Check back and learn your history!

Answer 3

Bush don't thump on the Bible and preach to us like Clinton did.
Clinton was so funny, holding his Bible, with tears running down his cheeks.
(Of course he was putting on a show for the reporters and people gullible enough to fall for it.)
The Church and Religion are farther apart now that Preacher Clinton is gone.

Answer 4

LAUS DEO : A little history lesson you may enjoy.

One detail that is not mentioned, in DC, is that
there can never be a
building of greater height than the Washington
Monument.

With all the uproar about removing the ten
commandments, etc.. This
is worth a moment or two of your time. I was not
aware of
this historical information.

On the aluminum cap, atop the Washington Monument in
Washington, DC,
are displayed two words: Laus Deo. No one can see
these words.
In fact, most visitors to the monument are totally
unaware they
are even there and for that matter, probably
couldn't care less.

Once you know Laus Deo's history, you will want to
share this with
everyone you know. But these words have been there
for many years;
they are 555 feet, 5.125 inches high, perched atop
the monument,
facing skyward to the Father of our nation,
overlooking the 69
square miles which comprise the District of
Columbia, capital of
the United States of America.


Laus Deo! Two seemingly insignificant, unnoticed
words. Out of sight
and, one might think, out of mind, but very
meaningfully
placed at the highest point over what is the most
powerful city in
the most successful nation in the world.

So, what do those two words, in Latin, composed of
just four
syllables and only seven letters, possibly mean?
Very simply, they
say "Praise be to God!"


Though construction of this giant obelisk began in
1848, when James
Polk was President of the United States, it was not
until
1888 that the monument was inaugurated and opened to
the public.
It took twenty five years to finally cap the
memorial with a
tribute to the Father of our nation, Laus Deo
.Praise be to God!"

From atop this magnificent granite and marble
structure, visitors may
take in the beautiful panoramic view of the city
with its
division into four major segments. From that
vantage point, one
can also easily see the original plan of the
designer, Pierre
Charles l'Enfant...a perfect cross imposed upon the
landscape,
with the White House to the north. The Jefferson
Memorial is to
the south, the Capitol to the east and the Lincoln
Memorial to the
west.

A cross you ask? Why a cross? What about separation
of church and
state? Yes, a cross; separation of church and state
was not, is
not, in the Constitution. So, read on. How
interesting and, no
doubt, intended to carry a profound meaning for
those who bother
to notice.

Praise be to God! Within the monument itself are 898
steps and 50
landings. As one climbs the steps and pauses at the
landings the
memorial stones share a message. On the 12th Landing
is a prayer
offered by the City of Baltimore; on the 20th is a
memorial
presented by some Chinese Christians; on the 24th a
presentation
made by Sunday School children from New York and
Philadelphia
quoting Proverbs 10:7, Luke 18:16 and Proverbs 22:6.
Praise be to
God!

When the cornerstone of the Washington Monument was
laid on July 4th,
1848 deposited within it were many items including
the Holy
Bible presented by the Bible Society. Praise be to
God! Such was
the discipline, the moral direction, and the
spiritual mood given
by the founder and first President of our unique
democracy .."One
Nation, Under God."!

I am awed by Washington's prayer for America. Have
you never read it?
Well, now is your unique opportunity, so read on!

"Almighty God; We make our earnest prayer that Thou
wilt keep the
United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt
incline the
hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of
subordination and
obedience to government; and entertain a brotherly
affection and
love for one another and for their fellow citizens
of the United
States at large. And finally that Thou wilt most
graciously be
pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love
mercy, and to
demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and
pacific temper
of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine
Author of our
blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of
whose example
in these things we can never hope to be a happy
nation. Grant our
supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen."

Laus Deo!

When one stops to observe the inscriptions found in
public places all
over our nation's capitol, he or she will easily
find the
signature of God, as it is unmistakably inscribed
everywhere you
look. You may forget the width and height of "Laus
Deo", its
location, or the architects but no one who reads
this will be able
to forget its meaning, or these words: "Unless the
Lord builds the
house its builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord
watches over the
city, the watchmen stand guard in vain." (Psalm 127:
1)

It is hoped you will send this to every child you
know; to every
sister, brother, father, mother or friend. They will
not find
offense, because you have given them a lesson in
history that they have
probably never learned in school. With that, be not
ashamed, or
afraid, but have pity on those who will never see
this because
someone failed to send it on.
