Subject: RE: BS: Pledge of allegiance ruled out! Part 2
By the way, the REAL god that reigns in America is MONEY. Money and business. Advertising. Marketing. Gross national product and military supremacy. The pursuit of money for the sake of money and for the sake of wordly power IS the dominant national religion of America!!!

That's the truth, people. Deal with it. It is that for which many Muslims hate you...not your democracy or your Christian traditions. Muslims revere Christ as a true prophet of God! Ask them. They do. The Old and New Testaments are among their holiest books, and are second in influence only to the Koran, which came at the founding of their religion by Mohammed's teachings.

Fussing about traditional religions and the use of the word "God" in this or that document at this point in history is like fussing about your malfunctioning barbecue while a forest fire engulfs your property from all sides.

In fact, I think that may be one reason why these things get blown up so big...they distract people from issues that really matter and keep them busy fighting with each other uselessly instead of looking at the big picture. It's pitiable.

Why not change the slogan on your money to "Money doesn't talk, it swears" (thanks to Bob Dylan for that)
