There’s a Bible verse on the Chester County Sheriff’s office website: “Blessed are the Peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God.”
The passage of Scripture is from the New Testament Book of Matthew and has long been a source of inspiration and encouragement to men and women who put their lives on the line every day so that our families might be safe.
But a “concerned citizen” in the Tennessee community saw the Bible verse and came down with a raging case of a godless heathen microaggression.

The Bible verse was featured on a stylized black and white version of the American flag with a “Thin Blue Line” stripe across the middle. That, too, enraged the godless heathen.
The unnamed coward reached out to the Freedom From Religion Foundation, a Wisconsin-based gang of atheists and agnostics.
“Use of religious imagery by important government offices risks unnecessarily isolating dissidents and undermining confidence in those offices’ function,” FFRF’s Hirsh Joshi wrote in a nasty letter to Sheriff Blair Weaver.
The out-of-town atheists alleged that citizens were made to feel unwelcome by the website image and accused the department of “placing a religious statement on government property.”
They said the Sheriff’s Dept. provided privilege to Christian citizens.
“An open profession of Christianity or any religion from an entity sworn to serve and protect is unconstitutional and divisive,” says FFRF’s Annie Laurie Gaylor. “Law enforcement must remain secular in all communications, including the main page of their websites.”
A department spokesperson responded and said the administrators of the website had removed the image in question.
As I wrote in my newest book, “Twilight’s Last Gleaming: Can America Be Saved?” we are under fierce attack by demons straight from the pit of Hell. And a good many of them are lurking about in the shadows of Wisconsin.
