My favorite post are:
SillyMan:
hahahaha what planet have you been living on
all through history people have have been trying to force christianity onto others
any religion should be CHOOSEN by an adult without ANY cohersion
JackBurton:
It is REALLY annoying to be taught fairy tales by moronic adults as if they were fact. Stop the brainwashing!
BaliBabyDoc:
the indoctrination of children should stop.
My problem is we are forced to learn and recite before we have any notion of what it means . . . and what it doesn't mean.
DealMonkey:
The pledge is forced patriotism. Think about this instead -- wouldn't our children's patriotism be all that much stronger
and more true if it came naturally? Derived from true pride in and respect for our nation and what we stand for rather than from some forced effort?
JackBurton:
Do you know how many people in history have been KILLED in the name of God (Christian God)? Homosexuals have been shund, people speaking against God have been put to death, Native American were given the ultimatum to FIND God (Christian God) or be killed, doctors performing legal abortions have been killed in the name of God, shall I go on? But, hey Christianity never hurt anyone. Are you fvcking out of your mind? Do you know how many people in history have been KILLED in the name of God (Christian God)?

No thank you. I don't believe in invisible magic people that live in the clouds.
JackBurton:?
Where does my hatred come from? Let's see, let's turns things around here. How about everywhere you turn, people want to tell you how the Toothfairy will save you, and all you have to do is follow these rules of the Toothfairy. How about on your money you have "In the Tootfairy we trust." How about people constantly trying to get the Toothfairy prayer put back into schools so your children can listen to the other insane people worship the Tootfairy. How about everywhere you turn people are lying to your kids about how the Tootfairy and his twelve freinds got together and wrote a book about how much magic the Tootfairy had hundred of years ago, yet no magic tricks are done today. Shall I go on? Take yourself out of the little box you live in and see what others view you as.

Like I said, put it at the end, and make it optional. Just like it is for oaths of enlistment, some oaths of office, etc.
Just think how stupid the average person is. Then realize 50% of the people are stupider than that guy. - George Carlin

ME:
Optional sounds like a workable compromise. But religious people don't appear to think it is.
I believe it's illegal to make a contract with a minor, let alone a life time contract, like a pledge of aledgence.
In the 7th grade they made us fill out social security cards, took our money for 40 years, spent it all and more,
and now they've left us billions in debt. There is no money in reserve for actual social security. And Bush #2 is
spending money like it grows on trees, or he can just print up some more, or doesn't care about running out kids
into debt before they even get their first job, like Regan and Bush #1 before him did.
History has proven that when religions have armys they kill each other. That is the foundation of middle east turmoil.
When we got Bush #2 the religious president, he didn't hesitate to lie and get in there with our army fighting on the
side of his god. Iraq was supporting Palisine freedom fighters & suicide bombers. The reason why people take the law
into their own hands is because the justice system that is in power does not deliver justice.
I believe that world war over religion will go on for years, and that is one very powerfull reason to believe religion is not a good thing. Why can't you be a good person with out believeing in the ToothFerry or magic invisible people living the the clouds ? Reality is not faith based. Bush the faith man has made many a horrendous error. One of his tactics
is to put as head of departments people who don't believe in the mission but believe in the opposite. Like putting
an industialist as head of the environment.
Any way, since religion is a personal relationship between a person and their god, any religious person who groups,
involves money, begs for money, trys to influence government, trys to remove rights from other based on self imposed
moralities they can't even obey, & the rest of the perfect world movement inhumanities
needs to stay home & keep their lying mouth shut.
The reptilian aliens said that when they first visited earth the planet was sterile,
they dumped their toilet tank, the process of evolution began, and here we are.
