Quote:3. If you don't like the phrase "under God" don't say it.
Yeah, but what all those poor children who have to hear the word "God"? I mean good grief man they could be scared for life and become serial killers because of something so traumatizing!! Someone please think of the children!! And then there's the whole "Christian symbols on city/state seal make people feel unwelcome" which is the most absurd thing I've ever heard in my life, but the ACLU uses it all the time.
Quote:1. This is a Christian founded nation.
It was and many of the founding fathers were religious, not all but most of them were. One thing that invariably comes up is seperation of church and state. There's nothing in the constitution that says the two MUST be seperate, what it was designed to do was to keep the goverment from establishing a state-recognized church or from making laws that against some churchs in favor of others, not to bar religion from public view.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
