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.


Shiva is a God, All religions have a God or Gods. Is a pretty generic
term.
