I have a question --- quite simple really ----

What part of the Constitution guarantees us the "right" to not be offended?

The reason I ask - this "athiest" is supposedly offended by the word "GOD" in the pledge. Maybe I am offended by this Godless punk's behavior. Maybe I am offended by people who deny God publicly. Maybe I am offended at people who mock Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for even those who are so hate-filled.

So, if the words "Under God" in the pledge are Unconstitutional on grounds of them being "offensive", then this idiot Athiest's actions and whining should also be unconstitutional.

You raise an interesting point. Assume that the SCOTUS upholds the 9th Circuit Court and decides to remove the words from the pledge. Can we Christians then file suit to have it restored on the basis that removing the phrase "under God" is offensive to us?
