I'm happy this happened. I think its hilarious that the bitter atheist crowd has to stop others from expressing their beliefs. Funny also that they can't stand to hear a word or concept they supposedly don't believe in. Keep it up. The winds of change are in the air. The sleeping tiger is awake--and we're not gonna take it anymore.

I think its hilarious that the bitter atheist crowd has to stop others from expressing their beliefs.

The ruling in question has no bearing on whether or not individuals can express their religious beliefs and it does not even have a bearing on whether or not individuals can form collectives to express a mutually held religious belief. Half of the whining regarding this ruling is nothing more than attacks at strawmen.

Funny also that they can't stand to hear a word or concept they supposedly don't believe in.

God God God God God
Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah
Christ Christ Christ Christ
Krsna Krsna Krsna Krsna Krsna
Zeus Zeus Zeus Zeus Zeus.

I think that sufficiently refutes your assertion. If that's not good enough, I just read the above five lines out loud.

The loud and obnoxious always make the most noise. The good seldom voice a complaint. However, there is only so far it can be pushed until even the most apathetic few finally speak up and say stop.

There is a balance to be struck. Is this an issue that can be debated further? Sure. But the continued cohesiveness of this nation is at stake if this kind of thing is allowed to continue.

This doesnt begin and end with the pledge. It begins with the flag being left out of schools, moves through to the pledge and ends with the founding fathers literally edited out of textbooks like a 1984 newspeak revisionist version of history.
