If only we could do that with everything we don't like. We'd all be running around changing things to our own liking!

I wasn't sure where you stand on the issue, but either way, I did see the humor in it! Caribou and polar bears? Where do you live?

Those who put God on our money and in our pledge and national motto are the ones who changed things to their own liking.

We're the ones fixing it.

I'm a Vancouver Islander, Canada...Below is our two dollar coin....We refer to it as a toonie, as the dollar has a loon on it and is called a loonie. No god mentioned, just the word knowledge in English and French (savoir).

There are many "nation""referrences, but since the question is christian vs secular I'll give my two cents worth . We live in the USA also called a nation and via its original charter a nation under God . The majority of people in the US are christian (those who believe in the Son of God) all of which is protected by the consitutuion, We are also a secular nation (freedom to choose any house of worship, praise zeus or form a new faith wherby one might wrap a kielbasa around their neck to ward off demons, all equally protected by the constiution. As in nations there are many secular categories. As a christian many see christians (beyond simply a title) as candidates for rapture within what we believes call "the church". Additionally, we believe the secular society being distracted into meaningless religions, will be "left behind" and be ushered into the tribualtion, where they will need to be martyred as a statement of "believing". By the way, that is the " gentile nation" I'm referring to and as for the secular Israelthey as unbelievers will inherit the judgement of God in Tribulation as well. So the christian nation wins and the secular nation wins IF they repent and sincerely believe in the Son of God , The only other option for the unbeliever is not a big 'L", but rather a big 666 on the hand or forehead which has a very negative outcome, enter Gods judgement. It it were me I'd just slap the seculars so silly they would watch Fox. and CTN!

Ehh no. There's nothing in this nation's founding documents that say we are a nation under any God(s).

Don't you just hate it when people come in here making statements about something that they're completely ignorant about, you know you would figure that if somebody's going to speak about a subject that they would at least educate themselves about it first, you know, acquire a little knowledge instead of just arbitrarily making uneducated statements.....
