http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/03/angry-conservative-wishes-beheading-on-oregon-city-official-who-opposes-in-god-we-trust-display/An Oregon city councilwoman who voiced her opposition to displaying In God We Trust inside a government building received a death threat from an individual calling himself an American Citizen for saving Americans for America.
Klamath County Commissioner Tom Mallams mentioned displaying the motto in the countys public hearing room last December, and David and Carol Warren ran with the idea. We believe God wants us to do this, Carol told The Oregonian.
Commissioner Mallams said he did not anticipate posting the motto to be a problem, since it doesnt say the God of the Bible. Its not Allah. Its not the God of the Jews. Its just acknowledging that there is a higher power out there that sets boundaries for whats right and wrong....
But according to the author of a letter Seiler received after penning the editorial, the United States was founded on Christian morality. The author then wrote, Maybe we could have the privilege of seeing your wonderful Muslims behead your (expletive) ugly (expletive)!!!

(10,998 posts)2. Life itself sets the boundaries for what's is correct and what is incorrect. There's no mythical
being who sets consequences for your actions. You alone are responsible for the consequences of your actions. No mythical being is going to forgive you when you err or pat you on the head when you act correctly. Life is the executor of consequences (boundaries) between correct thought/action and incorrect thought/action.
And the errant letter writer needs to pay close attention to their own errant thoughts and behaviors.
