Imagine if God were taken out of our county? :shocker:
I don't think he should be taken out of our country but I also believe strongly that God shouldn't be infused or forced into it either.
I don't like that it was added into our POA, but I and anyone else who doesn't agree with its placement are simply free to ignore it as well. That's part of what it means to be an American in my opinion.
Meh, it's all politics. Years from now when the Christians are out bred and lose the majority to the Muslims they will change it to "One nation under Allah" to get votes. Most politicians will do ANYTHING for the votes of the dominate religious group.

Yeah, just imagine what sort of heathens would draft a Constitution and Bill of Rights that would be devoid of any mention of the Christian God. Perish the thought...
Oh, wait a minute... We already have such documents...
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. —Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain [George III] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
Why do you suppose the country is caving in?
Declaration of Independence
Interesting the founding fathers decided to use a capitalized letter for Creator, meaning the supreme being, God.
You mean the pledge of allegiance written by a socialist? Then instituted by other socialist? Nah I won't say it.
Ah, yes, dear old Francis Bellamy...
If you're interested in just what sort of guy the original drafter of the Pledge was, do a goggle search on the "Bellamy Salute", the salute the author of the pledge first recommended be used when saying the pledge, and was used in the USA until 1942...
Not sure what the purpose is to acknowledge a god you may or may not believe in in order to show your patriotism or love of your country.
