"...God isn't mentioned in the Constitution."

Hate to nitpick, but "God" is "mentioned".

In the very last paragraph of the main body of the Constitution, the date mentioned for the unanimous consent of the states present is."...the seventeenth day of September, in the year of our Lord..."

Had they merely been trying to indicate a date, they would have left this out as they did when signing the Declaration of Independence.

Thanks, but the one lone mention has nothing to do with context of the argument... matters of morality, which is the point of henthoff and also myself. =)
