People, please, do your primary source research. The Constitution has only one religious reference in it (in Article VI - to the effect that no religious test shall be required for public office). Ditto the Bill of Rights (establishment and free exercise, mentioned in the First Amendment). The Constitution is an overtly secular document.

Keep stepping. That was damn funny.

Face it, campers, you have just seen how diverse this forum is. We have witnessed two distinct positions on the Pledge, plus a position that is distinctly different to that of the gun nuts on the board. Sorry, the gun advocates.

In other words, on issues political or religious, there will always be diversity of opinion. You can discuss those opinions intelligently, or you can bitch and moan, trying to shove your opinions down other people's throats. I suggest that the former is far more civil than the latter, and that a healthy dose of humor is still in order.

Intelligent discussion and discourse? I'll take it any time over mindless shouting from a fake pedestal.
