Feds Force Okla. Bank To Remove Crosses, Bible Verse

Federal Examiners Say Religious Decoration Inappropriate

PERKINS, Okla. -- A small-town bank in Oklahoma said the Federal Reserve won’t let it keep religious signs and symbols on display.

Federal Reserve examiners come every four years to make sure banks are complying with a long list of regulations. The examiners came to Perkins last week. And the team from Kansas City deemed a Bible verse of the day, crosses on the teller’s counter and buttons that say "Merry Christmas, God With Us." were inappropriate. The Bible verse of the day on the bank's Internet site also had to be taken down.“I don’t think there should be a problem with them displaying whatever religious symbols they want to display,” said Amy Weierman, a Perkins resident.Specifically, the feds believed, the symbols violated the discouragement clause of Regulation B of the bank regulations. According to the clause, "...the use of words, symbols, models and other forms of communication ... express, imply or suggest a discriminatory preference or policy of exclusion."The feds interpret that to mean, for example, a Jew or Muslin or atheist may be offended and believe they may be discriminated against at this bank. It is an appearance of discrimination.But customers Eyewitness News 5 talked to said they aren’t buying it.“This is just ridiculous,” said bank customer Jim Nyles. “This whole thing is just ridiculous. We all have regulatory bodies that govern us. But this is too much.”“I think that’s absurd,” said Chelsi Holser, a bank customer. “I don’t agree with it at all. They are taking Christ out of Christmas and life.”The bank is quietly fighting for a clearer interpretation of the clause. Officials have contacted their two U.S. legislators, Rep. Frank Lucas and Sen. Jim Inhoffe, and the Oklahoma Bankers Association to help.

I quote from the Declaration of Independence,

"Prudence, indeed, will indicate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right and duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security."

There have been several directives from the Federal Government and even the Supreme Court which have established limits on the practice of religious freedoms, namely Christianity.

But, "Congress shall make no law respecting an established religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof "

Obviously we have reached that same point in history that forced early colonists to separate from England. Today we face a government bent on the destruction of freedom of religion in this nation and THAT shall not stand.

This new congress has much work to do starting almost at the very beginning of the freedom and liberty upon which this nation was founded. We owe (ourselves-Christians) no less freedom and liberty than any other citizen who has ever existed and lived under the protections of this government and it's Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America.
