One nation under God?

I was listening to Scarlett this moring while she was saying the pledge of alligence. When she got to ,"one nation under God", it made me think. My kids are growing up in a world where they might try to take "one nation under God" out of the pledge of alligence! I can accept that there are other people who don't have the same political veiws as I do. What I can not accept, is when people say things like, "separation of church and state", "Take, in God we trust, out of our monetary system, and off of our money", and the worst one yet, "we are going to have a holiday tree this year!" I can accept that they don't want prayer in school, but I can not accept taking "one nation under God" out of the pledge of alligence. Or for that matter, creating a new pledge of alligence.
I am a Christ follower! And I will stand up for that until the day I die! I do not want to see what this world becomes when these things are changed. God blesses us with our jobs, which means our money comes from Him. You can't take God out of money and expect things will stay the same. You can't separate church and state, and expect things to stay the same. In a country that was founded on God and christian beliefs, we will always be one nation under God. However, if we as that nation turn our backs on God, all I can think about is these verses in Romans...

Romans 1:18-23 For God's wrath is being revealed from heaven against all the ungodliness and wickedness of those who in their wickedness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God himself has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes-his eternal power and divine nature-have been understood and observed by what he made, so that people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him. Instead, their thoughts turned to worthless things, and their ignorant hearts were darkened. Though claiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images that looked like mortal human beings, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles. Romans 1:24-25 For this reason, God gave them over to impurity to follow the lusts of their hearts and to dishonor their bodies with one another. They exchanged God's truth for a lie and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever.

This is a little scary for me. No matter if you consider yourself libral or conservative, God is still the only God, and there ultimatly is no escaping Him. I know that, no matter waht happens in the future, God is in control. I will still be saying the pledge of alligence as long as I am living, and I will teach it to my kids! Oh and we will NEVER have a holiday tree! It is christs birthday we celebrate at my house, and it always will be a Christmas tree!
