Sorry, but it is the non believers who seek a Godless society who are attempting to rewrite history.
HEre are some more quotes on George Washington...(how many does it take?)
On July 9, 1776, the Cont. Congress authorized the cont. army to provide chaplains for their troops. Gen. Washington then issued the order and appointed chaplains in every regiment. ON THAT SAME DAY, he issued the general order to his troops, stating:
"The General hopes and trusts that every officer and man, will endeavor so to live, and act, as becomes a CHRISTIAN SOLDIER defending the dearest rights and liberties of his country."
(The writings of George Washington)
.....why would one say that??....hmmmmm I think a good leader does and he asks others to do....
There are volumes of quotes from Washington...here is another....
On May 12,1779, Gen. Washington was visited at the Middle Brook military encampment by the Chiefs of the Delaware Indian tribe. They had brought three youths to be trained in the American schools. Washington assured them commenting:
Congress will look upon them as their own children...You do well to wish to learn our arts and ways of life and above all, the religion of Jesus Christ
AND HERE IS A REAL STRANGE PRAYER FOR SOMEONE WHO WAS NOT A CHRISTIAN.
Time June 1779, on the Hudson river , General Washington's prayer was recorded:
And now Almighty Father , if it is Thy holy will that we shall obtain a place and name among the nations of the earth, grant that we may be enabled to show our gratitude for Thy goodness by our endeavors to fear and obey Thee. Bless us with Thy wisdom in our councels, success in battle, and let all our victories be tempered with humanity. Endow, also, our enemies with enlightened minds, that they become sensible of their injustice, and willing to restore our liberty and peace. Grant the petition of Thy servant, for the sake of Him, whom Thou hast called Thy beloved Son; nevertheless , not my will but Thine be done. (The Religious Opinions and Character of Washington,E.C. Mcguire)America's God and Country.
JOHN ADAMS
In his diary entry dated Feb. 22, 1756, John Adams wrote :
Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow man; and to piety, love, and reference toward Almighty God....What a Eutopia, what a Paradise would this region be."
