: but seriously, this is nit-picky horse shit. If you don;t wanna say it, fine. If you do wanna say it, fin.
Sure. You just can't do it in a public arena that's being paid for on the government's dime.
: What's next? Suing the government becasue the word 'God' is on our money?
Why not?
: The seperation of church and state to stop theocracies such as the one the pilgrims fled from. It doesn't mean abolishing all mention of God from everything.
True. It just means the government doesn't involve itself with mentions of God, and does not pay for God to be mentioned. Thus in public schools, you don't say the pledge. Simple. It was a simple ruling that was passed with little fuss on anyone's part except those who feel that God SHOULD be mentioned in every public setting.
