There are plenty of other countries to live in. If someone doesn't like the reference to God in the pledge, or anywhere else, they can go live somewhere else. I am pretty sick and tired of people being offended by reference to God. IMO, the current decay of western civilization morals and values is directly influenced by the "need" not to offend people with any references to God. Seperation of church and state has nothing to do the issues surrounding the word "God" in any song, pledge, or writting. Anyone who reads the history of the formation of America should be able to see it was established to prevent the church for governing.

It's a slippery slope. One could reasonably argue that the state grants the church special permits, affords tax benefits, and recognizes religious officials at government functions. Shouldn't all these benefits also be eliminated as well? Why does the FCC "promote" the religious shows by granting air wave access?

And why don't these nut cases reject the US currency? Every bill says "In God We Trust." Until they stop using US currency they are nothing more than hypocrites.

No matter what happens, these their final argument will be at the Pearly Gates before the ultimate Judge
