Mr. Krewson is mistaken when he says that `Under God’ is a poor law (“Under God poor law,” Aug. 26.) His main point is that ‘Congress must bow to the Constitution, not the Bible’. I say that this country must look to the roots of the Constitution, and to the hearts of the men that derived it. Now then, we must look towards the Bible. Fifty of the 57 men that signed the declaration were Christian.

To allow the continuation of such documents and governments, that give us such secured freedoms, we must look toward the Bible.

Now I know that people talk about separation between church and state, but the fact is, in the memoirs of Thomas Jefferson, as he writes to the Baptist Church of the Colony of Virginia, he comments that the idea of separation of church and state exists so that one denomination (such as seen in Britain) would not rule and become corrupt.

But to govern without the Bible in this country is ludicrous. If the United States wasn’t founded off of Christian ideals and morals, then so many established Christian principles would not have come to pass: the 1953 installment of `Under God’ in the pledge, `In God we trust’ on our money, prayer in schools(now obsolete), and so on. It cannot be denied. If this country keeps shifting away from God, the inevitable is to come.
