Pledge Case Argued Today

[rdaneel]

USA Today Op/ed

The irony helps explain why some prominent mainstream religious scholars filed briefs in the case opposing the use of the words "under God." They believe it trivializes faith or "takes the Lord's name in vain" - a violation of the Ten Commandments.

Even before "under God" was added, the pledge was used to justify persecution of members of religious sects who refuse to say it, such as Jehovah's Witnesses. They believe that paying homage to a flag places another deity before God.

Nice to see it's not just the atheists on his side.

Really? If serious (and with M, that's not always a given), it's fairly full of holes.

It's quite full of holes. I mean on the "I'm a hippie jackass who seems to have nothing better to do than cause problems and uproar."

But someone's got to be the jackass to get this done.

A lot of people that fought for civil rights have been called a lot worse than that.
