According to reports, Wisconsin's Governor Scott Walker is standing firm on his faith and convictions, even when challenged with a lawsuit.
After recently tweeting and posting a Scripture (Phil. 4:13-"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.") on Facebook, he was threatened by atheist lawyers who demanded that he remove the Bible verse.
If it is his PERSONAL Facebook page, then I would think that that would be HIS business.
If it is the GOVERNOR'S Facebook page, then he will probably lose.
Someone has to stand-up to the Atheists, that hate God. I believe the Atheists that cause these problems, actually believe in God, but despise him, for who they are.
Why can't Atheists respect people who believe different from them? We don't go around demanding the courts to force them to put up a cross or Bible verse. Look at all the different things that abound in our world today, w/o anything mentioning God.
I think Facebook is the problem here. Jesus didn't have Facebook and he didn't tweet either, but he is still really famous. I think we can all learn from that.
Atheists and theists should come together (not in a sexual way), and make the world a better place.

I'm not an atheist but I believe I can speak for the vast majority of them and ask: How can you hate what you don't believe exists?
Atheists don't hate any god. They (and some believers, like me) hate what some god-believers do and say in their god's name.
"This braggadocio verse coming from a public official is rather disturbing. To say, 'I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me,' seems more like a threat, or the utterance of a theocratic dictator, than a duly elected civil servant."
Theocratic dictator... really?? Can we simply look at the record of Christian based executive orders he has passed? It won't take long.
Good for Walker ... having lived there for over 40 years, I can just bet that all the liberals, anti-God, left over hippy socialists, anti-Bible'ites went absolutely unglued.
Read my 2nd sentence. I have seen the youtube debates and it appears the so-called atheist's show animosity towards someone they don't believe in.
Just my opinion. I don't believe all atheists are such, but some, definitely.
Avery close atheist of mine had to go to the Emergency Room last year, and now claims to be a "Fox-Hole" Atheist.
I believe we are programmed to believe in a higher power. Every civilization before us did. It is built in to us. Similar, as is the "Natural Law."
There are 'some' of every category in any aspect of life; even among my own (Wiccan) community, there are folks that do it mostly for shock value.
