Atheist's challenge to "In God We Trust" national motto dismissed by federal judge

Atheist's challenge to "In God We Trust" national motto dismissed by federal judge...

"Satanic delusions have been set upon the governments of the world, even as they seek to remove from your courthouses the words 'In God We Trust.' It shall now be, 'In Man We Trust, for Man Is Our God!' Woe to the inhabitants of the earth! The just hand of the Eternal Father is poised to strike you." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 13, 1978

LifeSiteNews.com reported on June 13, 2006:

A California federal trial judge has dismissed the lawsuit filed by Michael Newdow challenging the constitutionality of the American national motto, "In God We Trust." Newdow is the atheist who achieved national attention in his previous unsuccessful attempt to remove the Pledge of Allegiance from public schools because it includes the words "one nation under God."

The Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, had filed a friend of the court brief seeking the dismissal of Newdow's national motto lawsuit. Edward L. White III, the Thomas More Law Center's trial counsel who submitted the friend of the court brief, commented: "Our national motto does not have the constitutionally impermissible effect of establishing a religion. Rather, it acknowledges our nation's rich religious heritage, which informed the founding of our nation."

The federal trial judge ruled that the national motto has nothing to do with the establishment of a religion. The judge noted that the use of the national motto is patriotic and has no true resemblance to a governmental sponsorship of a religious exercise.

School prayer and the American flag

In 1962 and 1963, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that prayer in public schools was unconstitutional. In 1989, the Court ruled in Texas v. Johnson that a Texas Penal Code outlawing "the desecration of a venerated object" (such as the flag) was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court decided that burning the American flag was permitted. Our Lady of the Roses rejects both of these Supreme Court decisions:

"My child and My children, prayer has not become a way of life for many. That is why communism has got such a foothold in your country and in other countries of the world. The prayers given to you in your childhood will be remembered always, I know, My children; but there are those who have not received these prayers in their schools, for prayer has been outlawed in many areas of your country and the world. It took but a few without faith to bring down the flag, for even your country's flag is being defiled, My children. I speak both of the United States and Canada, for when the great Tribulation falls upon them, they will have to hold each other up; for they cannot escape through the waters to get help. They will not escape through the skies, but the number of dead will be counted in the millions.” – Our Lady, October 2, 1987

Contact your Congressman and Senator and tell them to restore our country to “one nation under God.”

"I tell you for your own good, My children of the United States of America, that once was a nation under God and indivisible, that you will fall! If you do not come out of your slumber now, you will fall!” – Our Lady of the Roses, June 18, 1992
