I have for<br />many years made it a practice to read through the Bible once every year."<br />- President John Quincy Adams<br /><br />"The existence of the Bible, as a Book for the people, is the greatest<br />benefit which the human race has ever experienced. Every attempt to<br />belittle it is a crime against humanity." - Immanuel Kant (Philosopher)<br /><br />"The New Testament is the very best Book that ever or ever will be<br />known in the world." - Charles Dickens (Author)<br /><br />"All human discoveries seem to be made only for the purpose of<br />confirming more and more strongly the truths contained in the<br />Sacred Scriptures." - Sir William Herschel (Astronomer)<br /><br />"There are more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in<br />any profane history." - Sir Isaac Newton (Scientist)<br /><br />"Let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences<br />progress in even greater extent and depth, and the human<br />mind widen itself as much as it desires; beyond the elevation<br />and moral culture of Christianity, as it shines forth in the Gospels,<br />it will not go." - Goethe (Author)<br /><br />"I have known ninety-five of the world's great men in my time,<br />and of these eight-seven were followers of the Bible. The Bible<br />is stamped with a Specialty of Origin, and an immeasurable<br />distance separates it from all competitors."<br />- W.E. Gladstone (Prime Minister) <br /><br />"Whatever merit there is in anything that I have written is simply<br />due to the fact that when I was a child my mother daily read me<br />a part of the Bible and daily made me learn a part of it by heart."<br />- John Ruskin (art critic and social commentator) <br /><br />"The Bible has been the Magna Charta of the poor and oppressed.<br />The human race is not in a position to dispense with it." - Thomas<br />Huxley (Author & Scientist)<br /><br />"The whole hope of human progress is suspended on the ever<br />growing influence of the Bible." - W.H. Seward (Secretary of State)<br /><br />"America was born a Christian nation. America was born <br />to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness, <br />which are derived from the revelations of Holy Scriptures. <br />Part of the destiny of Americans lies in their daily perusal <br />of this great book of revelations. That if they would see <br />America free and pure they will make their own spirits <br />free and pure by this baptism of the Holy Spirit."<br />--President Woodrow WilsonProfessor Howdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189934292678757335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437964542052755799.post-7403157280604708332007-01-16T09:55:00.000-04:002007-01-16T09:55:00.000-04:00Join the jollity by sending an e-mail to:

The 'wall of separation be-<br />tween church and state' is a metaphor based on bad history, <br />a metaphor which has proved useless as a guide to judging. <br />It should be frankly and explicitly abandoned. <br /> - - - Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, William Rehnquist <br /> <br /></b> <br />===============<br /><br /><b> <br /> <br />In 1796 the US Supreme Court issued this ruling, "By our form <br />of government, the Christian religion is the established religion, <br />and all sects and denominations of Christians are placed on <br />equal footing." Some 57 years later, after Congress was <br />petitioned to separate Christian principles from government, <br />in 1853 the House Judiciary Committee issued their formal<br />report, including these words: "In this age there is no substitute <br />for Christianity. This was the religion of the founders of the republic, <br />and they expected it to be the religion of their dependents.
