Air Force Academy Admits It Removed “So Help Me God” From Oaths…

---------

"It is only by believing in God that we can ever criticize the Government. Once abolish ... God, and the Government becomes the God. That fact is written all across human history ... The truth is that Irreligion is the opiuim of the people. Wherever the people do not believe in something beyond the world, they will worship the world. But, above all, they wil worship the strongest thing in the world."

G. K. Chesterton

A key question in studies of government forms is "Is there a moral law higher than the sovereign?" It doesn't matter whether the sovereign says it IS God (like Pharoah or Caesar) or declares there IS NO God, the result is the same. It's a declaration that the state and its rulers have no moral limit on their power.
