Why is the Government like God, you cant ask why, who or what?

Many different people have different beliefs. I believe that God is around no matter what your doing. He is even around when you think. God knows what you are going to do and who your going to do it with weather it be sex, education, theft, or murder before you do it. However, all things happen for a reason, even the bad things.

Anytime the gov't tries to incorporate church and state. I can't believe how easily we forget that our ancestors came here to get away from just that. This country was built to allow it's citizens freedom to make their own religious choices. Yet we allow the gov't to sneak their christian beliefs into our laws.

My religion has been hassled by the government tons of times. We normally win though =]. I don't think that there is such a thing as being truly free.\n\n-Wiccan teen )O(

God is soveriegn, and everything that happens is according to His will. Sometimes God even has to allow bad things to happen to make people turn to him or to help people trust in Him.

I like very much the way you started: ALL RISE!\nAnd there is no legal system which is perfect!\nMoreover, though, I do not trust "god" and this is due to the fact that god never talks to anyone, except the leaders (which gives me suspicions that the leaders claim they were told by god! - what do you think?)\nFor example, whenever someone attacks another, in the last 16 centuries, they claim that god ordered them to do that! Last, but not without importance was the Bush claim for America's and her allies to Iraq!

God didn't make illegal the government did.

Government knows best whats good FOR GOVERNMENT, namely keeping us "teaming masses" in check.  Since government not gonna voluntarily give up its power, YOU must choose your areas of freedom. The man can't be everywhere, all the time.

Your question contains a portion of the current pledge of allegiance.  The words "under God" were not added untl 1954.  The original pledge was written by a Christian Socialist and later modified.  \n\nOur founding fathers, especially Thomas Jefferson, understood how a state religion could be used to deny freedoms or create an alternative form of government within the government.  One of my favorite Jefferson quotes is as follows: "But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."  Here's another: "Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity."

God is the very foundation of every thing. even for people who dont't want to belive in him they are still acting in a realm were their is a God. our very mind set is in this unique realm. if we took God out then were is the reason for any thing. think about it all you do has so kind relation ship with in God weather for agianst or out of even ignorence. I am only 19 and I have thought about this many times and this is the only thing that makes sence to me.

God doesn't. Their government does by blocking/stealing help. Another work of Satan.

God. (cheating) This explanation is what everyone eventually resorts to when the other answers fail. Now, before I go any further, I should make clear that I'm not talking about any of the gods defined in various religions. Throughout all of human history, we've been trying to explain existence. But nobody has ever succeeded. And it's likely that nobody ever will. So we create the concept of God, whose only necessary property is being "that which explains existence." \n\nThis doesn't tell us much about god, though. It doesn't mean that any particular religion is correct. It merely defines god as something which answers The Question, because we have not been able to.\nread this: http://www.toykeeper.net/philosophy/knowledge

First of all, God like other names is capitalized.  Probably is a God, but like a friend says, religion was invented to make men fight and have wars. Being a good person, mother, wife is what makes me feel like I'm a good person, not just believing in God.
