Dear Cousins,



Please accept the god we trust in and you too will share in these advantages of our culture:



1.Eliminating God from government and replacing Him with any god you may choose will conform to our “In any gods we trust” motto.

2. M.D.’s (murdering doctors) will kill your unwanted babies as they struggle to wiggle their way into the arms of parents that don’t want them.


3. The aged, disabled and unproductive will be given the option of a dignified death by the same M.D.’s that have said an oath of preserving life.

4. Homosexuals and perverts (sexual predators) will be able to marry and adopt children that will propagate the their abnormal lifestyles. Whatever happened to common sense?

5. Weekend marriages (married on Fri and divorced on Mon) will become the new rage.

6. Legalizing prostitution will eliminate the curse of immorality and adultery.

7. The underprivileged minorities will gamble their last dinar and the ruling class will pay fewer taxes because of their squandering of money and addiction to chance.

8. We will install our “dumbing-down” Department of Education so that the elite will continue to have control and authority over lower class repressed students.

9. Pornography will be very available in every form on the pretence that this will prevent “acting out” acts of sexual offences.

10. Our capitalistic corporate leaders will teach you how to rip off millions from fellow citizens and only have small and insignificant penalties to pay without complete restitution.

11. We will export our profitable prison industry as we have become the number one nation in the world expanding industry profits from incarcerating the most number of prisoners.

12. And we will show you how you too can merchandise “Kentucky Fried Christianity” as we have so that you too will never have to be accountable to God for the 10 Commandments our country was founded on.


Judge Roy Moore told me that the question our country needs to resolve is,

“Can the State acknowledge God?”

Upon that answer, our future as a nation “under God” rests.



We the ungodly people of Amerika do strongly encourage you to accept our superior culture or we will blow your country to dust, except the oil fields of course!



Signed:

The Godless people of Amerika

PS My natural father was blown to bits in WWII defending the Judeo-Christian values of America that have been trampled on. Now, all I have left is a purple heart and the flag that draped his casket. And all America has is a country without God. This article is written in memory of my Dad.
