Air Force Removes "god" From Logo: Rep. J. Randy Forbes Leads Objection To This by executinal(m): 6:44am On Feb 09, 2012 |
By Annalisa Musarra Religion News Service (RNS) Dozens of members of Congress are upset that the Air Force has removed the Latin word for "God" from the logo of an Air Force acquisitions office. Led by Rep. J. Randy Forbes, co-chairman of the Congressional Prayer Caucus, 36 lawmakers Monday (Feb. 6) sent a letter to Air Force Secretary Michael Donley and Air Force Chief of Staff General Norton Schwartz objecting to the removal of "God" from the logo of the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office (RCO). The logo was recently removed, according to Forbes, after objections by the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers. Jason Torpy, president of the association, said the word "God" had no place in the logo because not all members of the military are religious. "We just hope (the Air Force) can provide more equal opportunities for atheists and humanists in the military." "The action taken by the RCO suggests that all references to God, regardless of their context, must be removed from the military," the congressional letter states. "We ask that you reverse this perplexing decision." According to the lawmakers, all members of the bipartisan prayer caucus, the RCO patch logo previously included the motto "Opus Dei Cum Pecunia Alienum Efficemus" (Doing God's Work with Other People's Money), an inside joke among RCO members. Caucus members say it was changed to "Miraculi Cum Pecunia Alienum Efficemus" (Doing Miracles with Other People's Money). The letter argues that "courts consistently have upheld the constitutionality of our national motto, 'In God We Trust,' despite the obvious mention of God." "Obviously the Constitution doesn't treat God like a dirty word," said Luke Goodrich, deputy general counsel of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. "Religion is a part of this history."

obviously they stopped fighting for God from here on end or they used to fight for God all along until now. the christian needs to accept that there was bombing for God, until now. and bombs kill. |

America will go down. In fulfillment of prophecy . The only way to prevent this is to Go back to God. As long as they follow the path of sodom and Babylon ,grace will keep departing from them. |

Joagbaje: What have Nigeria that follow god excessively and blindly achieved? You guys always say nonsense when you see physical evidence and claim it is revelation. Of course we know the likes of China, Brazil and India are coming up, so anybody could have used that common sense to make thesame claim you just made. Also, Norway, Denmark and Sweden have one of the best quality and standard of living and they are predominantly Atheist. |

America was a nation under God. Her foundation was God, her constitution was made through the word of God. But they began to take God out of their system. That's the problem . The same thing goes for Israel. These two nations were founded on Gods principle. When they turn away from God . They suffer for it. |
Re: Air Force Removes "god" From Logo: Rep. J. Randy Forbes Leads Objection To This by 2good(m): 10:21am On Feb 09, 2012 |
Joagbaje:Why did you avoid the part about Nigeria and god? For your information, Israel is an officially Jewish state and still don't believe in your Jesus messiah, so their existence for the past 2000 years have conflicted with Christianity and Islam which are the 2 major religion on earth. That's the main reason for their persecution by a predominantly war driven religious world over the past millennium. Besides reading your bible, try to also study history to get a better understanding of what has happened in this world in the name of religion, before today |

The Jews still believe in God but they are suffering partially since the sinned against God. They will be restored when they finally come back to God and embrace his messiah for them. |

Joagbaje:Mr Jo, incase you don't know, the Jews don't recognize Jesus as god, so get that straight if you don't know today. Also stop circulating false rumour that America was founded under god because even children know about the African slave trade that resulted in the movement of over 12-13 million Africans by thesame so called god fearing Americans/ Europeans into the American continent, after they had decimated and killed most of the native Indians that own the land and also thousands of Africans were thrown aboard slave ships when ever the slave ships come in contact with a British patrol ship on the high sea after slavery was abolished. Thesame America fought a civil war between 1861 to 1865(4 years) because the majorly christian south(later Confederate) refused to accept an end to slavery and instead resorted to fighting the majorly northern American states(The Union), in what still happens to be the bloodiest war in the history of that country after Abraham Lincoln who was an anti slavery candidate won the 1860 presidential election. America was built on the exploitation and enslavement of a race for century so stop saying what you have no single proof about or are the actions above what your god approves of his people? |

Joagbaje: its better you stay put to the tithes and first fruit defense, thats where the ilks of you are good at. You know no jack about anything history. Like one of my friend who was scared to research on history coz what she might find will bring up questions about this christianity sef. So she made do with what she just knew, and some from hearsays. I bet you are just in this category. Go widen your knowledge and you'll see america wasnt founded on any god whatsoever. when did Freemasonry become Christianity? Guy go and find out who really laid the foundation of Washington D.C and go read the monument built in his name. Read the salutation accorded to him, i think from there you'll begin your journey into forbidden truths. |

Joagbaje: Sorry I disagree, America was not founded on GOD but violence, wholesale massacres of the red Indians, enslavement of blacks and the setting up of a Babylonian capitalist system that is one of the primary causes of the economic crisis in the world today. |

Mr. Jo, better stick to your distorted explanation of the bible and leave history alone. Since the bible doesnt have any verifiable proofs anyone can twist it in any direction, as per history, bros documentary evidences are everywhere. So for your own good leave American history, the founding fathers were NOT christians, many of them were deists and freemasons. |

Joagbaje: Since you know alot about American history, can you please educate us with proof from historical records and not the bible please! |

Joagbaje: LOL @ Mr Jo, Please stop it, Indeed you should stick to defending charlatans. America's foundation was built upon several pools of blood, slavery, extermination of the native Indians, hatred for the British and so on. Was it God that sent them to come to Africa to pick up slaves that helped build their economy? Pls Educate us, which of God's principles where the two nations, America and Israel founded on? |

@joagbaje, how many times i go tell ona say na satan dey rule this world? Dont ever mention Gods name in national & political issues, even d nation of isreal that God protected & defended has been abandoned after they refused & killed Gods chosen servant/messiah, d last king that God ever chose & annointed with his own hand was his son(Yehshua) which is the shiloh many call today witout understandin its full meaning, d rest of earths rulers & there systems are just been allowed by God for a while, Soon When time reach all of them go turn to chaff and off into the thin air, america u see there was built on satan, its a world power, read revelations well and know who gives power to these world powers, when u finish reading revelations then u'l know america was never built on Yahweh, God supports no nation, no nation today has God as its foundation, they are all on satan's palms, and he does what ever he wants with them, but there end is fast approaching |
