Harry, after reading the article and your responses to various
posts,
I jist have to ask- are you shoving anti-religion down people's
throats?

Just curious...

Harry is against religion everywhere except Israel where he thinks a
direct connection between church and state is acceptable and it
is OK
to impose their religious beliefs on the people living there.

Specious.

Israel was established as a Jewish nation. The United States was not
established as a Christian nation.

I am not against religion. I am against religion/religious beliefs
dictating laws, regulations, what is taught in public schools, et
cetera.

"One nation under God"

But did not say a Christian God. Actually the founders stated there
would
not be a State Religion, ala Church of England. Not that there
would be
no religious expression.

The phrase "one nation..." had nothing to do with the founding
fathers,
the Declaration, or the Constitution. It was shoved into the "pledge"
during the middle of the last century because of right-wing pressure.

Harry, are you just *trying* to promote friction?

Just stating a bit of history. The phrase in question is a perfect
example of how religious conservatives force their view on those who
believe differently.

Wimp.
