   Comments: Government needs to be built on the foundation of people and not a secular way of life. Government officials are voted into office to serve all the people and not just a chosen few.

   Comments: Please vote NO to the "God" Resolution The proposed resolution before the Knox County Commission urging recognition of God as the foundation of our nation is not only untrue but would create an atmosphere of intolerance for cultures not represented in the statement. "God" is not the foundation of the constitution. Individual Freedom and Reason are. You were elected to represent and serve the people of Knox County, not to insinuate religion into government. "The public welfare" does NOT require it. ===================================================== "not one of the first six Presidents of the United States was an orthodox Christian." --The Encyclopedia Brittanica, 1968, p. 420 ===================================================== "[T]he government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion." Treaty of Peace and Friendship between The United States and the Bey and Subjects of Tripoli of Barbary, ratified by the Senate and signed by John Adams in Juneof 1797.

   Comments: To acknowlege any supernatural being as the foundation of law is to discredit said law as having a very disputable foundation. This proposal is wrong, and to pass it would be unconstitutional and discriminatory.

    Comments: While Knoxville, and the whole state of TN for that matter, continually ranks near the bottom of nearly every ranking we see, we think to risk the lawsuits and attendant monies that will surely be engendered by ACLU actions is in our view absurd. Please, if you want to pursue this silly resolution that won't positively affect our state in any possible constructive way, then use your own personal money to defend this resolution! Public monies that would be spent defending this resolution would be better spent (we are sure in God's eyes, too) on improving the educational system, raising teacher pay, environmental health including air pollution, feeding and housing the homeless, etc. What would Jesus do

    Comments: As a Christian minister I find this absurd insistace upon forcing every Knox County resident to be represented by a religious statement of this sort which ignores the presence of many persons of different religious faiths and it ignores the presence of thinking Christians who find this repugnant. God does NOT need my vote nor Knox County's and to presume God does is blasphemy.

    Comments: With my direct line of descent on the North American continent documented back to 1636; my study of family history/American history at no time in the forming of this country was this ever to be considered. They were ESCAPING religious and economic repression--not seeking to pass laws that went against the belief systems of those that would later follow them from other places. Ask anyone on the street what the Ten Commandments include. What version Should be honor and legislate the entire book of the law that the "Ten commandments" came from and start sacrificing animals on certain dates Will the nation be ruled by a "Theocracy", all the rulers priests And who is "God" Allah, Yahweh, Jesus, Yamanja, Shiva, etc I know the "God" they are thinking of, and from the record of His contact with earth, He would shake His head and throw some lightning bolts at those pretending to be so righteous.
