I guess you could argue that removing all references to God from govt. facilities, etc. is mandating atheism and is therefore unconstitutional. |

You've confused me a bit. Are you for or against separation of church and state? |

I've heard arguments that the separation of church and state was set-up so that the state would stay out of the business of the church. Not the other way, meaning hat the church could be included in the state. That's why our Pledge is "One Nation under God", our currancy states "In God We Trust", and pray is provided at state functions. The real question regarding the oath we took is at what point does an enemy become domestic or does change become a domestic enemy of the US of A? |

Maybe I'm not understanding what your saying.........but roughly 80% of our population describe themselves as Christian based believers !!! Which brings me to the question as to why we are letting a minority change our general principals ??? Someone doesn't like the way we in scribe our currency........... don't use it !!! Don't like the under God thing.........Go find another country to pledge to !!! The Ten Commandments in the court room........Live by the laws of this land and you'll never see them hanging there !!! You dislike prayer in school, sporting events and state functions......Don't attend them !!! Don't like the way the Constitution is worded...........That makes you the enemy.......foreign or domestic !!! And by the way, since ya'll got me started !!! WE SPEAK ENGLISH IN THIS COUNTRY !!! |
