Dear Editor:
Recent polls have shown that over 75 percent of the American people would leave "in God we trust" in the Pledge of Allegiance, over 60 percent of the people favor the posting of the Ten Commandments in government offices, and over 50 percent of the people favor creationism being taught alongside other theories concerning the beginning and origin of our universe. Why then are these and other matters concerning faith or any biblical perspective, i.e. gay marriage, the right to life, etc., so harshly dealt with in our courts? I believe, in part, that if we look in a mirror and point a finger that we will see the real culprit. There is a sleeping giant that is the Church of Jesus Christ! I hear, "What can we do, woe is me, can you believe what they've done now?" Sitting on one's hands has never done anything but hindered circulation. Sixty million Americans call themselves "evangelical Christians" but only 15 million of us voted in the last presidential election! Shame!
