Tar_heel you misguided Troll. Our country was not "founded on Christian principles". Our country was populated by aboriginal people who were invaded by a group of religious zealots who wanted a place where they could practice their bigoted beliefs.

These religious zealots used lies, brainwashing and biological warfare to eliminate their opposition. I personally, would prefer to live in a country where the predominant zealots cannot force their bigoted dogma down everyone else's throats. Keep praying if you want to, keep deluding yourself as to your own personal rightiousness, but keep it to yourself.

The Pledge of Allegiance used to be a patriotic and inspirational part of my school memories. Whenever I recited it, our country seemed to me to be "indivisible" until the zealots put in the one thing GUARANTEED to divide us, "under God". I have no problem being patriotic, I love my country. But I will not abide know-it-all fanatics who think they can shove their own dimentia down my gullet.
