The nitwits are the people that seem to believe the constitution
somehow
reads "freedom from religion"
It means "freedom from YOUR religion", nitwit. How would you like it
if the pledge read "under Buddha", instead of "under god"?

We've got it all wrong. Shouldn't the pledge say "... under God,
Buddah, Allah, Yaweh, etc." Then we could all get along. Whenever a
new religion comes along we can add that deity as well.



God is a collective name.

Didn't Eisenhower put under God in the pledge to take a Christian stand
against Communism? If that's true, then God is not a collective term.
And still,if not, it's exclusive of those who choose not to believe in a
Judaeo-Christian God.


This country and everyone in it would be far better off if we just kept
our religious believes to ourselves, our churches, our homes and our
families. Look around the world and see what horrors are committed by
religious zealots. Many of the fundie Christians in this country have more
in common with Islamists and with Taliban than they do with what made and
kept America great.


Seems as if most of the help in the South came from religious groups.
Salvation Army, Catholic Charities. And they did not fly in on chartered
Gulfstreams as the Red Cross honchos are want to do.
