obey the Laws, abortion and Jesus

If it is the written law (in the USA) to have separation of church and state then whats up with the following: ??

A) why does it say "In God We Trust" on all our money?

B) why are kids made to recite the pledge of allegance (one nation under GOD) in public school everyday?

C) Why do Christians constantly attack laws like abortion and banned prayer in school when it is written law and Jesus said "obey the laws of the land"? 

prayer in school is illegal yet we say UNDER GOD in the pledge and buy lunch with money that says IN GOD WE TRUST..... which GOD is allowed? I now ask this question... Prayers not allowed by Christians so I wonder if the Christian God is what is really banned and the GOD that seems to be allowed is the actual God they mean.

 I want to know what other people think.

    It's not written in law... That's why...

    A- Because money is our GOD.

    B- The Pledge of Allegance is not madatory in schools, you can opt out.

    C- Because that is the way Republics work.  Politicians get people stressed out about issues that mean nothing so that the masses are devided and vote for them.

    Uh...Whats public schools are you talking about?



    I never had to recite the pledge of allegance in any of my schools. Not even now, in high school.

    Well no, I'm in ROTC, and we do say the pledge of allegance. But I just mouth it and pretend I'm saying it. And than close my mouth when we get to that "god" word and than go back to just mouthing it. :D

    But other than that...never. Oo

    America was formed under christian ways when we came here. That's why. Sadly, even though they lie and say America is a land of "freedom" and "freedom of religion" it really isn't. Someone's elses religion is above the rest of ours, in this case, the church and christians. So they run the show. :/

    More importantly, why does it matter?  There's obviously no shortafe of ahtiests and other religions in the US, so why do people think that saying "God" is somehow hurting something?  And when you're talking about money and the pledge and such, it's not like you're praying or anything, to those not religious it's nothing more than part of the heritage of this country - and it is part of the heritage.

    What greater tribute to free will than the power to question the highest of authority? What greater display of loyalty than blind faith? What greater gift than free will? What greater love than loyalty?

    I really wish religion would butt out of everyday life : it's fine for them to have their beliefs but don't push it in everyones face.

    Everyone has a right to life but why doesn't everyone have a right to suicide if they wish to? I'm not talking about oh im a depressed emo but if your in sooo much pain lyou don't want to go on. If i was in a wheelchair and cudnt talk or move or anything i sure would want lethal injection.

    Funny thing about the Pledge of Allegance and Christians is this.  You are making a VOW to be a good citizen.

    In the KJB what does it say about vows (now I know this bible added "without cause" to a couple Beattitudes, but the people who worry about GAWD in the pledge usually use the KJB):

    "34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:

    35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

    36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

    37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil."


    I think Gebus is saying you should not swear (AKA pledge) allegance...

    This is true. No where does it say that there is a seperation of church and state. It's mearly a figment of some ppl's imagination that's been accepted into fact.

    The laws and constitution do say SEVERAL times the word "God".

    If the biggest thing you ever have to complain about in life is one sentence printed on money or said in a pledge of allegiance then consider yourself lucky.

    Really, who cares? Are you really that paranoid about religion to get up in arms over something so insignificant?

    Thats not true, most of the founding fathers were deist, there was a huge deist and enlightenment phase during the late 18th century - early 19th century... People think of the US as a christian founded nation because of the two great awakenings which happend in the 1850's,  but we were founded as a enlightened nation...


    I hope some day we can all put aside our racisms and prejudices and just laugh at people

    If you don't want the money that says "in god we trust" i'll be glad to take it off of your hands image

    seriously though, get over it...you should have more important things to worry about.

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

    A) why does it say "In God We Trust" on all our money?  THe whole depiction on the dollar bill is a symbol of freemasonry - a requirement of being a freemason was a beleif in God.
    B) why are kids made to recite the pledge of allegance (one nation under GOD) in public school everyday?  Pledge was also written by a Freemason.  While the founding fathers may not have all been orthidox Christains, they did all believe in a moral society and a belief in God.
    C) Why do Christians constantly attack laws like abortion and banned prayer in school when it is written law and Jesus said "obey the laws of the land"? 
    It is the right of any citizen in AMerica to debate the laws of the land in the court of public opinion.  And btw- the pledge is not mandatory.  People who want to say it can.  THat doesnt take away any rights from those who do not believe in a God
    prayer in school is illegal yet we say UNDER GOD in the pledge and buy lunch with money that says IN GOD WE TRUST..... which GOD is allowed? I now ask this question... Prayers not allowed by Christians so I wonder if the Christian God is what is really banned and the GOD that seems to be allowed is the actual God they mean.

    Wow...my respect meter for Nierro has gone so far below the little red line that I don't think it's registering anymore...For someone who makes so many radically anti religious, biggotted, elitist, ignorant, and just plain all around foolish posts, you hardly qualify to call people who think that it's wrong to kill an unborn fetus/child/zygote retards.  Sentient thought begins in the beginning of the second trimester, at that point a baby is undisputably a human, yet abortions still take place well after the second trimester, and even DURING child birth itself(partial birth abortion) 

    yeah, we're just a bunch of borderline retards

    I still hold out hope for you Nierro, it's slim, but it's there.

    I don't really care what you think of us, but to call someone a retard for being pro-life is an exercise in ignorant stupidity.

    True, but I say a lot of stupid things.
    I get pissed off during the day at one thing or another, I come home and than call people names. Sorry but it's how I vent.

    Some schools are different I guess... The high school I went to I refused to cite the pledge, got kicked out of class for it numerous times and they threatened to suspend me. I threatened to make a huge deal of it and call the press, and they backed off a bit. image

    When I get pissed off, I don't call people retards for having a differing opinion, especially about something as touchy as abortion. I don't even know if there's a God, but killing an unborn baby is wrong on a lot more levels then just God's law. If a girl doesn't want to burn rubber or use BC, she should be prepared to get pregnant.

    Yeah, at least i'll admit I made a mistake.

    Sorry you and Draenor. I'll try and keep my name calling to a bare minimum.

    I'm not one to get deeply offended over stuff like this, I had a tough life for most of my school days, I'm used to mockery(not religious mockery, I wasn't deeply religious until recently)...but I do get annoyed at the ignorance of some of the posts on this board, and from the psuedo intellectuals who pass themselves off as something that they aren't, but I don't take any of it to heart.  I know what I believe, and if my beliefs are so weak that the postings of a 15 year old can topple my self esteem, then I have bigger problems.  I don't seek to shut you up, I seek to shed light on the things that you seem to be ignorant about.  That isn't a jab at you, I don't use the word ignorant as an insult, there is a marked difference between ignorance and stupidity.  You don't seem to be stupid, you just seem to be ignorant about some things, chiefly among them being religion. 

     I understand a need to vent, I happened to have a truly miserable day(and not such a great week)  The girl that I was going to ask on a date for the first time wasn't able to make it to either event that I was going to ask her at...the Colts lost(I won't even touch that one), the Raiders lost, the Patriots won, I had to sit through four hours of liberal diatribes from my retarded government teacher who told my best friend that he "doesn't care about the troops"...twice.  Then I happened across some pictures of someone that I used to consider a dear friend that REALLY made me mad..and then, well...I had to be with my sister and her fience all weekend long.  She is a very difficult person to be with and really tries my patience, even though she doesn't really mean to(she's 21, I should hope that she is beyond that phase!)  And her fience is just...I dunno, but when he's around my dad gets really annoying for some reason.

    To be honest, I get more annoyed at the posts of Lilithishtar, Kootur, and Reavo than anyone else...for various reasons, all of them different, but nothing I can't handle with a bit of my Jesus freak logic.  I should probably take Kootur off of that list, he isn't really a poster, he's more of a political troll who does nothing but provide flame bait...at least Lilith and Reavo don't pretend that everything that they say is fact.  When I started posting a lot on these boards, I thought that it was going to be Modjoe that I disagreed with the most often.  That was because of one debate about Catholicism...and since then, I have found that we actually agree on a lot of things...my point is...it's not impossible to find common ground, but it's definitely harder to find that ground when you are busy venting your anger just because someone disagrees with you and you had a shitty day.

    So in my long winded way, apology accepted, I apologize for writing such a long response to such a short post, but I'm about to try and go to bed at 11 o clock and I needed to write to tire myself out...I have horrible sleeping habbits due to my roommate in my freshman year of college.

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
