They can always pledge allegiance to themselves, as GOD.
As an atheist I assure you that you are completely misrepresenting the vast majority of us.

Kids suck.
I agree. Part of me thinks "who cares" I always just didn't say that part of lipped it. But the point is you shouldn't have to and it should have never been put in there to begin with.

N. J. judge will be automatic appealable and likely not of statu tos mandate change until it gets to certain level when appealed. Then when it gets to circuit judges ;their decision only applies to that circuit.

Ahh yes, the majority feels that their religion should be forced upon others, and if they don't like it they are whining?

Seriously?

And "stupid"? why exactly are they stupid. Please, expand on that.

"Under God" was added during the communist witch hunt in the early fifties. Some in congress actually thought that they could figure out who was a communist because they wouldn't repeat the "under God" part. Yep, politicians were stupid then too.

Oh my god.....I was a childhood communist!

I'm going to Google that and hope that somehow I will find out you are wrong, and that no human in public office could be that stupid, but inside I am terrified you are right.
