Thread Name: BS: US ...pledge of allegiance ruled out!
Subject: RE: BS: US ...pledge of allegiance ruled out!
my local radio station has a 'post your views' web page...here are examples of what is appearing..

"The Founding Fathers would absolutely turn over in their graves should they be alive today to see what has become of this great nation! Too often, the liberals of the world twist words and use them out of context to suit their own needs.

The so-called activists say that this great land was founded on the freedom of religion and that by using "God" in our Pledge of Allegiance is offensive to some, and therefore it is now a violation of their "Constitutional Rights" to be forced to say these words. I am moved to speak up on these abominations of our nations foundation! The reason people came to this land was to be able to worship GOD in their own way, and the beliefs and principles that helped forge this great nation were CHRISTIAN beliefs and ideals. They were not atheists, Jews, Muslums, Buddhists, Islamic, or anything else. They were CHRISTIANS.

Just has we have the God given right to make choices to belive in these ideals, so do the atheists and agnostics of our land. We do not have to like it, but that is their right as an American. However, when they impose on my right to express my faith in God, which our country was founded on, I say enough! I will pray dilegently for them, but will steadfastly stand my ground against their blatant attacks against my God. If they don't want to say "under God" during the Pledge of Allegiance, then simply do not say these words at that part of the Pledge. DO NOT, however, impose your heathenistic ideals on me and against our nation, and bring forth abominations against the very foundation of what makes this the greatest nation on the face of the earth!

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 41:31" ________________________________________________________

"This does not surprise me in the least America is turning into a Godless nation lead by the Catholic church. It seems like since 911 America has been urning away from God instead of toward God. Satin is directing these actions and he wants to get God out of the public mind.. starting with young children. In my opinion this is just one more way to seal our doom."

"This ruling is absolutely ridiculous! First we take God out of schools and put sex in and now we want to eliminate our Creator all together! We are heading in the way of the Roman Empire and everyone knows what happened to them. I pray that God is not as disgusted with this country as I am."

...etc...(you would not believe some of the dumber ones!..Hate and prejudice and blind, sanctimonious drivel abound!)..well, except for one...one post says simply

"Freedom of religion & Freedom from religion. "
