One Nation Under God

[Gonz]

joint, van, $50, zipper...I think

 

[Winky]

is that in the bible, I musta missed that chapter but Cheecky din't?

 

[catocom]

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

 

[Winky]

I thought that was the AA pledge
I'm so confoosed which bible version are yous
gettin' all this from???

 

[catocom]

I'm not sure if it's in the Bible or not.

It's just the Serenity prayer is all I know.
I've heard it in AA, but that wasn't the first place.

All I know is it's worked most of the time.

 

[chcr]

So what is the deal about stoning a whore?

Clearly, you're not familiar with the book. Deuterotomy, I believe...

 

[Winky]

go on I'm all ears

 

[SouthernN'Proud]

So SnP (knew all that, BTW), if the author was a godless commie, why do we still say the pledge at all.

Some of us don't.

"I salute the Confederate flag with honor, reverence, and total dedication to the cause for which it stands.

 

[Winky]

and that cause was what again?

 

[SouthernN'Proud]

Something you've had more than ample time to read and still won't.

Nice try though. You sound just like flamio.

 

[Winky]

that ain't werkin' Bub

 

[chcr]

Some of us don't.

Now the pledge came along decades after you guys lost...

 

[Inkara1]

go on I'm all ears

No, you're Winky. All Ears is female.

 

[SouthernN'Proud]

Now the pledge came along decades after you guys lost...

YOU guys??! What, you move to Hackensack this weekend?

 

[chcr]

YOU guys??! What, you move to Hackensack this weekend?

Yeah, but certain local denizens (present company included ) go to great lengths to remind me that I am and will always be a Yankee.

 

[Gotholic]

OK Gotholic...I'll bite.

If, as you've argued, the constitution, bill of rights and freedoms, etc...were written by Christians and the majority of registered members of America were Christians...how should this impact Americans today, especially in light of today's population and diverse religious and linguistic backgrounds?

Our nation is tolerant of different religious beliefs, but that doesn't mean we should be intolerant of our own.

 

[Winky]

I find that 'intolerable'

 

[Gato_Solo]

I find that 'intolerable'

Then you'll just love this...

 

[catocom]

That's like employees not being able to say Merry Christmas.
Where was the outrage of the ACLU when these companies, and schools
are denying this to people. (just one example of the hypocrisy)

If you ban one, you must ban them all. If you permit one, you must permit them all.
