I grew up saying "under God," and I don't find it offensive. It's a
tempest in a teapot.


I did not, so I do find it patently offensive. Grant's addition of "In God
We Trust" to our money was the camels nose in the tent and the next thing
anybody knew the God Eaters had saddled us with prohibition and made the
mere mention of birth control, let alone abortion was a felony punishable by
20 years in prison!! We didn't get rid of the latter until the early 1960s!
"In God We Trust" is the camel's neck.


I can understand it. I have no problem getting rid of all that sort of
language. I'm not offended, but I can see how others would be.
