Although I am a firm believer in God; I understand that others don't believe. I respect their right to do so. I don't however, understand, accept or respect anyone who calls my belief in God or God Himself offensive. When Jesus was asked how to attain eternal life he said to adhere to the following two principles:  We must love God with all our hearts and minds and secondly we must love our neighbors as ourselves. Jesus taught that these two principles were the cornerstone to a Christian life. Therefore I ask rhetorically what in the world is offensive about these principles and a  God of love? How do these principles demean us or offend anyone. Please don't talk to me about those who claim to do horrible things in the name of God because that's a red herring. No one, who is mentally stable, does any act of violence or hatred in the name of God. True believers in God are not violent or hateful.

 Contrary to popular belief in the secular community the Founding Fathers didn't create the 1st amendment to protect the people from religion they created it to protect religion from the people. The Founding Fathers were rightly opposed to one religion for all (a national religion)  but they absolutely did not want the government restricting our right to freely practice our religion. Separation of church and state, which secualarists use to beat people of faith into submission, is not in the Constitution. The current interpretation of  separation of church and state is an attempt by secularists to shut God out of our lives.  The second half and often ignored part of the 1st amendment states that the government shall not prohibit the free exercise of religion ("shall not" in legal speak means absolutely never). Nevertheless the government through the use of "separation of church and state" does so every day.

The United States defines itself as an overwhelmingly Christian country yet we allow a very vocal minority to deny us our religious liberty. Such tyranny of the minority is, in many ways, more  destructive than tyranny of the majority in that it ignores the will of the people. Our Founding Fathers, who fled religious oppression, envisioned a town square teaming with religious expression of all denominations. They would never support or could possibly have envisioned the exclusion of religion we see today. 
If you don't believe in God you are entitled to your opinion but you are in the minority. Rather than demand the exclusion of God from the public lives of the hundreds of millions believers you need to mind your manners and respect the constitutional rights of others. The fact that an activist court has lead us down an unconsttutional path does not make your lack of manners and unreasonable demands correct or constitutional.

Even if we left the question of Jesus's divinity aside for a moment we should ask ourselves the following question: How would  following the 10 Commandments and the teachings of Jesus, as a historical not a religious figure, hurt us? After all Jesus's ministry was all about love (even for your enemies) and forgiveness. Don't you believe we'd have less violence, less incivility, less turmoil and all the rest of the maladies of our decaying society if only we permitted God back into the public life of this great nation? For heaven sake what would be so offensive about that?
