Federal Judge Rules Pledge in School Unconstitutional

They try to make a point but hyprocritize (is that a word?) themselves by only bitching about certain issues, while the 'problem' is in other places as well.

There are bigger fish to fry at this moment in time.

But as far as the phrase "under God", it was simply showing how our country was founded on Christian principles.

This is the same reason the money says "In God we trust".

If we forget where this country came from, how can we lead it in the right direction.

It is part of our history, our heritage. If we should forget it, then the african americans should drop the slavery issue, anyone who was harmed by anything in the past should just drop it because it's the past and doesn't matter.

Brent - tell me how removing God references will do any good at all , and how will it make the ones who want it removed feel better ? I see no damage done to anyone by it .

Do you deny the influence of a belief in God on the founding fathers? And the influence of our freedom of religion on the development of our country ?

I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition (Christianity) one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology.

If we change a law because it makes some people uncomfortable , we will change them daily in the future .

A lot is nowhere near a majority , nor near enough for a referendum . Those opposed have the right to oppose and attempt to effect change , but our system is designed to be fair to all . That small number is not entitled to speak for all of us .
Once again ,
If they achieve a majority or near it , changes may be warranted . I think our discussion is based on something deeper than just the Pledge or the Money .

You have yet to show that government is promoting a religion .

I agree with brent on this one, the government has no business putting God on anything related to the government.

Taking it out of the pledge of allegiance...ok. Taking it off the money? No..that would involve spending more money than it's worth.

You have to look at this also from an economists standpoint, the monetary costs far outweigh the marginal benefits achieved by removing "In God we trust" from all money. This is something that should be left alone. Maybe remove it from future prntings and molds if these costs do not outweigh the beforementioned marginal benefits. I say, it's been on the money from the beginning, why change it now.

The religous people are putting up as big of a fight as the Atheist that want it removed... so to those supporting it remaining within there... what is it going to hurt if it is removed to the original form.. I bet your going to say this country will lose its way... NEWS FLASH.. its already happening... no amount of IN GOD WE TRUST or UNDER GOD is going to save this country... COMMON SENSE will....
