I just read about another disturbing developement within the United States military. The Air Force removed “God” from the logo on one of their patches.
You see, a small group of God haters (sorry, that’s what they are) called the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers complained about the wording on a patch that read (in Latin) “Doing God’s Work with Other People’s Money.” You see, atheists can’t be going around doing God’s work – that would just be un…un…human, I guess.
In response to the wishes of those who care nothing for the wisdom of our Founding Fathers (see last post), Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley approved the wording to be changed to “Doing Miracles with Other People’s Money.”
Doing Miracles?
- First line from article in Wikipedia – “A miracle often denotes an event attributed to divine intervention.”
- From Dictionary.com – “An effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a supernatural cause…Such an effect or event manifesting or considered as a work of God.”
- From Meriam-Webster.com – “An extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs.”
It would seem to me that the choice of “miracle” was not just a compromise, but a statement. Coincidentally, it reminds me of another statement: “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” – Isaiah 14:14
Removing “God” and replacing it with “Miracle” is not exactly making things religiously neutral. No, all it is doing is exchanging one God for another god – self. For you see, men still believe the lie first told to Eve, “YOU shall be as gods.”
When our Founding Fathers pledged to each other “our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor,” they did so with a “firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence.” What would they have to protect them today? A bunch of miracle-working atheists and freethinkers. Thank GOD they signed the Declaration of Independence when they did!
Take Action!
Please follow this link and send an email to Secretary Michael Donley insisting he restore the original wording on the RCO patch, then forward this to others.
