The God of the Ninth Circuit

Atheists rejoice! The Court has declared that gods are no longer religious ... wait a minute. Every religion requires god(s) so if gods themselves are no longer religious in nature, then how can anything be religious? By declaring that gods are not religious, the Court has effectively abolished every religion.

These morons can't be serious ... but somehow they are?

Good grief.

One of the judges took enough exception to the decision that he wrote a dissent of 136 pages. It's a ridiculous phrase. Whose god? And we trust it? Trust it to do what?

When I say the pledge, I change it up.
Sometimes I just say "One nation, indivisble" the way it was originally written.
Other times, I say "One nation under Kali," "One nation under His Awesome Noodliness," "One nation under the Sun," or "One nation under cover of the night."

I have no issue with Under God being in the pledge. What I do have issue with is the ones saying this is a simply a christian nation and I suspect would have the please say, One Nation, Under God, Indivisble, with liberty and justice if your a christian.

Thirty-two countries have or had god in their mottos. For example:

Brunei: الدائمون المحسنون بالهدى (Arabic, Always in service with God's guidance)

Confederate States of America: Deo Vindice (Latin, Under God, Our Vindicator)

Denmark: Motto of Queen Margrethe II:
God's help, the love of the people, Denmark's strength

Ecuador: Dios, patria y libertad (Spanish, God, homeland and liberty)[

Dominican Republic: Dios, Patria, Libertad (Spanish, God, Country, Liberty

Morocco: الله، الوطن، الملك (Arabic, God, the Country, the King

Philippines: Maka-Diyos, Maka-Tao, Makakalikasan at Makabansa (Tagalog, For God, People, Nature and Country

Poland: No official motto. Among the unofficial ones Bóg, Honor, Ojczyzna (Polish, God, Honor, Fatherland)

Russian Empire - С нами Бог (God is with us)

Self replication is a proof that there is God. It means that atheists are idiots and to listen to idiots concerning religion is stupidity.

The courts should not allow any suit coming from atheists if it involves about religion or God. Stupidity don't have any right.

The First Amendment prohibits preference of non-religion over religion. When either way is unconstitutional, I think the will of the majority should prevail.

"The courts should not allow any suit coming from atheists if it involves about religion or God. Stupidity don't have any right."

Really? Then the courts should not allow any suit from any Religion if it is about science.

You need to freshen up on your history. The first to come to this country were escaping religous persecution.
Where they were the minority being oppressed by the majority.

Removing "under god" from the pledge wouldn't be preference for nonreligion. Maybe adding something like "under no gods" would be, but saying nothing on the subject gives preference to neither side.

The real problem is the agenda of a few to force the rest of us to be subservient to their definition of what "God" is.

That is if it's science. But evolution is quack science. The science of Self-Replication will push that quack science towards the garbage bin soon.

Is it called science when a single-celled organism evolves into a human brain after a very long period of time? That is quack science. It's way off the logic chart if there's one.

If we all live in Mars, then we can doubt that there may be no God. But clearly with all the intelligence around us (it needs intelligence to sustain life in plants and animals) one cannot deny that there is a God. When an idiot wants his views to be heard like proclaiming that there is no God, I don't believe there is any reason why we should listen that that fool.

The courts should not hear any suits coming from atheists about the First Ammendment. It's all about stupidity and who wants to hear a stupid petition?

"The courts should not hear any suits coming from atheists about the First Ammendment"
-------------------------

No First Amendment rights for atheists in Huckabee Jesuslandia?

If God is everywhere, then the pledge should read "One Nation, under, above, next to, and inside God ...".

Exactly what does "Under God" mean anyway? It's so ambiquous, it's almost a non-sequitor.

Quack Science, good one. Because Religion can never be wrong, right?
The world is still flat.
Midwives are burned at the stake for helping in childbirth as witches and consorting with the Devil.

You complain about athiest bringing suits. Okay lets cross them off the list. Who will be next then? Those who have a faith that believe in a different God? Just whittle away till only Christians are left? Ahh yes, but then even that gets to splitting hairs.
Which denomination will eventually win out? as the One True Relgion of God.

Your arguement is a slippery slope to utter chaos.

As far as I can remember, only atheists make idiotic suits. All religions are sane enough not to hate the word "God".

Great job Texas, in the 60's is when the education system in Texas changed their textbooks for the whole country because one woman was offended, she was an atheist. Then the history of this country was distorted and as it is written, people would rather believe a lie, I guess the truth hurts some. But, I thought at least some of you were smart. I suggest you obtain copies of the original colonies Codes of Law. I recieved my certified copies from the Supreme Court Library in Raleigh, NC. Now, lets look at this a little closer. In 1776, we became the United States of America consisting of these 13 states with all our rights and freedoms, did you fight for that freedom? NO, and neither did I, so who fought, those thirteen colonies that became the 13 states that started America in 1776. Their history is our history, so can we really disregard their truth because it offends someone. Please read their Laws, these people believed that GOD was with them all the way and they would not have won without HIS help, that FREEDOM for all is a gift from GOD. Thomas Jefferson also referenced GOD in the Declaration of Independence. We don't seem to give enough thanks for our FREEDOM which is a gift from GOD and can be taken away. All truth should be taught in full to everyone and everyone has their own FREEDOM to choose whatever they like but withholding the truth is deceptive and the same as a lie and brings about IGNORANCE in the people that was decieved. We are the LAND OF THE FREE, so let's act like it. Our gratitude goes to those people who fought and created this great LAND OF THE FREE and our THANKS goes to GOD. You have the freedom to believe whatever you like but we should not cover up the truth in how it began.

Because it was SO important to have the words under God in the Pledge that it took over 60 years from the time of its creation till those two words were added.

"All religions are sane enough not to hate the word "God""?

Because Wiccans and countless others all see the same view? What a sheltered world you live in.
