"I'm going to step on a lot of people's toes but there's… one God. To Him be the glory. There's no other way; there's no other God. There are a lot of religions out there but only one God." -Mayor Randy Price

(Winfield, AL)—At a time when some insist God is done with America, one Alabama town is renewing its commitment to Jehovah. Winfield's government has officially proclaimed that "God is the owner" of the city. (Photo: AL.com)

"I feel like we need to stand up for what is right," Mayor Randy Price told al.com. "Our forefathers said, 'One nation under God,' and we went so far away from that. There are not enough godly people involved in day-to-day decisions." The resolution states:

Whereas we acknowledge God is the owner of the City of Winfield and that it is a City under God. We acknowledge that at all times, He is in control.

Whereas, we acknowledge that through His leadership, the Mayor and City Council will seek His wisdom and knowledge to be good stewards of the city.

Whereas, we acknowledge that though prayer, with His guidance and presence, that we will be able to trust that no problem will be too large or too small to overcome.

Whereas, we acknowledge that the City of Winfield is where it is today because of God's grace and mercy.

Whereas, we acknowledge that at all times and in all circumstances, His will shall be done.

Whereas, we acknowledge that to God be the glory.

"I'm going to step on a lot of people's toes but there's… one God. To Him be the glory," says Price. "There's no other way; there's no other God. There are a lot of religions out there but only one God."

It's no surprise that Hemant Mehta, the so-called "friendly atheist," mocked Price for his bold stance for God. Mehta assured his readers that God "has better things to do" than take over our cities. Of course, Mehta doesn't know God and cannot pretend to speak for Him—but he does seem to speak for millions of atheists. And Mehta has contacted the Freedom From Religion Foundation, which is known for launching virulent attacks on God.
