Atheists Wash Florida Road Christians Anointed With Oil
County Road 98 in Polk County, Fla., was scrubbed today by a group of atheists who are protesting the "Polk Under Prayer" campaign, supporters of which poured olive oil on the road last year in an anointment ceremony.
"Mainly we want this to be a safe haven for folks who want to raise their families," explained Polk Under Prayer organizer, Dr. Richard Geringswald, according to ABC News affiliate WFTS-TV in Tampa. "Asking God's protection from ne'er do wells and evil doers."
Ellen Beth Wachs, the president of Humanists of Florida Association and Atheists of Florida, said that she feels unwelcome as an atheist in the county.
"This anointment ritual was to call out the angels to check each car that entered the county, to make sure they were Christian, and if they weren't Christian, they would either follow Christian beliefs or get put in jail," Wachs told ABC News.

Tells me all i need to know. also, oil on road is a hazard, why did they think it was a good idea?
Tim Williams and Pastor Frank talk about the PUP project that Tim has been called to carry out. PUP stands for Polk Under Prayer. It's objective is to place Holy Angels at all roads that lead into or out of Polk County. A strip of anointed oil has been placed over all lanes of highway at the county line and a prayer has been given at each location asking God to have angels inspect every vehicle that travels into or out of this county and to bring under conviction to those who seek evil and we asked God to bring them to a state of submission and repentance. If they will not submit to God's way of living, then the prayer is to have them incarcerated or removed from the county. We pray salvation for each person and the full knowledge of Jesus Christ as Savior. We are asking God to make His presence known when each person crosses this annointed line.

It's time they realize the Separation of Church and State! To have Govt Officials involved in such is wrong. Keep your religion out of official city business and vice versa. That's the way American Law is written and if you don't like it then you can go to a Muslim country where they get away with being bigots but it's not going to work here in America! :)
Religious freedom is guaranteed by our Constitution as is the separation of church and state.
What we are losing is the freedom and liberty to be individuals and to be treated equally by a party that is headed towards fascism, paid for by the corporatist and radical religious policies of many of the religious hate groups in the US. The Biggest hate group of all is the Knights of Columbus (the political arm of the RCC). Over $5.9 million dollars spent by them since 1996 against same sex marriage, MARRIAGE -- a government civil contract stated by SCOTUS to be "a basic human civil right".
As for your rant about the mention of the words Jesus, Prayer or God ?? They each have a place and a time to be mentioned. When it comes to our government, a Civil government not a Theocracy, there is no place for the influence in the daily lives of ALL citizens that don't believe as you do by your trying to impose your dogma, doctrines and beliefs into our laws and constitutions.
