Oh, my Lord, you are SOOO wrong, it's hard to know where to start.

Regarding the person who commented that we shouldn't have the phrase "Under God", our great country was founded "with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence".

And where in the Constitution is THAT?

It's in the Declaration of Independence. Gophack didn't say it was in the Constitution.

Take Him off our money?

Clearly... YES.

Any reason for this conclusion, or is it your answer just because it's your opinion? Explain why you say "clearly" when there's clearly a question about the clarity of the issue.

We are "ONE NATION UNDER GOD" and we should stay that way.

No, we are not, nor have we ever been. But at times in out history certain politicians have thought that it would make them look really good to ramrod Christian verbage into areas where it does not belong.

Have you ever read the Federalist Papers? You are aware of our country's Christian heritage, are you not? (Further, I suspect you of having an anti-Christian bug up your nose.)

In God we Trust ...

Speak for yourself. I suspect that you do NOT speak for the American atheists, agnostics, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, heathens, pagans and the rest.


Jeez, Lex, cut Gophack a break. He may be using the Royal We. Or he may be speaking for everyone he knows, who may well feel that way. Or - get this - he may have read some bios of the Founding Fathers, and done some thinking about their personal and political philosophies.

Quite a concept. You oughta give it a shot sometime.
