At the U.S. Supreme Court: "Moses? Moses who?"

Again, via WorldNetDaily.

Surprising? Yes and no. Mostly no.

Todd DuBord, pastor of the Lake Almanor Community Church in California, said he was traveling with his wife, Tracy, and was more than startled during recent visits to the courthouse and two other historic locations to discover the stories of the nation's heritage had been sterilized of Christian references.

Read Pastor DuBord's account (in the form of a letter to the Supreme Court, President Bush and others) here.

He was most disturbed by what appears to be revisionism in the presentations given to visitors at the Supreme Court. There, he said, his tour guide was describing the marble frieze directly above the justices' bench.

"Between the images of the people depicting the Majesty of the Law and Power of Government, there is a tablet with ten Roman numerals, the first five down the left side and the last five down the right. This tablet represents the first ten amendments of the Bill of Rights," she said.

The ten what? was DuBord's thought.

Unwilling to be confrontational, he went home and started some research.

...

When he asked, his recent tour guide denied there were any Ten Commandments representations in the Supreme Court building, he said.

Such denial, he said, left him stunned.

...

He then asked, "If there are no other depictions of Moses or the Ten Commandments on the building except on the South Wall Frieze in the U.S. Supreme Court, then what about on the east side of the building where Moses is the central figure among others, holding both tablets of the Ten Commandments, one in each arm?"

"Her response shocked me as much as the guide inside the Court chamber. 'There is no depiction of Moses and the Ten Commandments like that on the U.S. Supreme Court,'" DuBord said he was told.

He asked if there were any pictures of the representation, and she pulled one out.

"Her eyes widened in surprise. There was Moses in photo and description as the central figure, holding the Ten Commandments (tablets), one in each hand," DuBord wrote.

Although there are six depictions of Moses and-or the Ten Commandments at the Supreme Court, the tour guides had been trained to admit to only the one on Moses, he said.

When you know the full, truthful, factual history of this nation, it is undeniable that it has a very strong Judeo-Christian heritage. However, some people (e.g. the ACLU, Barry Lynn and his Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, the Freedom From Religion Foundation and many more groups and individuals) want to bury that heritage in favor of their Godless, secularist agenda. They want you to believe that this nation is and always was a nation founded on Godlessness and that Christians had absolutely no influence on its founding and growth.

Sadly, the American public's general disinterest in the history of their own nation only helps to further that goal. Sadder still, those who are actually interested in the subject are prevented (by laws and rulings enacted by secularists) from learning the truth in the nation's schools. The so-called "separation of church and state" is used as a sledgehammer to silence any mention of the beliefs and faith of this nation's founders - beliefs and faith deeply-rooted in the Judeo-Christian religion.

The Washington Monument proclaims, "Laus Deo" - "Praise be to God" - to the sky above.

The U.S. Capitol Building's Rotunda is called the "Sanctum Sanctorum" - "Holy of Holies," which is what the place of God's presence in the Jewish temple was called - and the artwork on its walls depict religious scenes from American history (the Pilgrims praying, George Washington praying, Pocahontas being baptized).

Not only do both the House and Senate have the national motto "In God We Trust" inscribed upon their walls, but the Senate also has the phrase Annuit coeptis - "God has favored our undertakings" - above the east door and in the prayer room, where you will also find a stained glass window with the verse Psalm 16:1.

The Lincoln Memorial has an inscription of the Gettysburg Address, which makes reference to God.

The Jefferson Memorial also has inscriptions that make reference to God.

The entryway to the National Archives has a display of the Ten Commandments embedded in the floor.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
