Shock to NBC
This is not sent for discussion. If you agree, forward it, if you don't, delete it. By
me forwarding it, you know how I feel.
 
 
 
 
Do you believe that the word God should stay in American culture? 

NBC this morning had a poll on this question. They had the highest Number of responses that they have ever had for one of their polls, and the Percentage was the same as this:
 

86% to keep the words, IN God We Trust and God in the Pledge of Allegiance 14% against

That is a pretty 'commanding' public response.

I was asked to
 send this on if I agreed
or delete if I didn't ..

Now it is your turn. It is said that
 86% of Americans believe the word God shou l d stay.......
 

Therefore, I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a mess about having 'In God We Trust' on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance.
 

Why is the wor l d catering to this 14%?


AMEN!


If you agree, pass this on
, if not, simp l y de l ete. 

In God We Trust
