War on Christianity?!? Really?

Okay ... granted ... a lot of atheists, agnostics, secularists and constitutionalists want to remove "under god" from the Pledge  and take "In God we trust" off the money in favor of "E Pluribus Unum" ... But lets be honest - that's NOT a "war" or even an "attack" ... not even an "affront to sensibilities" (unless those sensibilities are exceptionally sensitive) ... it's really just constitutional common sense that removes the appearance of the government showing any preference of one religion over another or discriminating against no religion at all as the constitution demands.

A "war" is when the government (or mob) forces you to move your church(s) outside the city limits ... but despite the perceived "war", every Sunday, 80,000 people can gleefully sing "God Bless America" in ball parks without fear of reprisal or sanction - and this would STILL be fine and free to do without "under god" in the Pledge. Additionally, every church would STILL be right where it always was and open for "business" just like before ...Now what kind of "war" fails to address the obvious targets - churches and huge gatherings of people loudly singing about God and Country?

None

Nada

Zip

Zero

Zilch

No "war" known to human kind would go out of it's way to AVOID the obvious targets. I mean, really ... what the F*ck? Either this "war" is being executed by the most inept and incompetent folks ever to perpetrate a "war" on anything ever ... or ... it's not a "war" ... and never was. (Hint: It's not a "war" on anything)

You see, when this "war" is over - people will still be able to:

1. Have a church
2. Go to Church (not that the majority of those railing about this horrific "war" actually GO to church but I "get that they like to know they "can" go if they ever were to choose to do so)
3. Pray
4. Carry the Bible in public
5. SELL the Bible openly in (gasp) public bookstores
6. Read the Bible
7. ... you get the idea - there isn't much that would "change" after this "war" has been "fought"

In short, the only changes - as per the constitution - are that the government (who bears the burden of restriction from religion - not the people or religious organizations) won't and shouldn't be able to invoke the word or ideas of any one "god" or religion.

See, then the government uses a term like "god", it excludes other forms of deities that - in this FREE nation - we can choose to worship ... and THAT excludes AMERICANS from feeling fairly treated and represented - YES there are a large number of AMERICANS - born and raised here that don't worship YOUR god du jour ... and THAT is "suppose" to be okay - see, we're supposed to have freedom to do that.

So, for the same exact reason that you, my good christian, find the prospects of saying:

One Nation, Under Buddha

One Nation, Under Vishnu

One Nation, Under Ra
One Nation, Under Thor

One Nation, Under Allah

One Nation, Under Zeus
One Nation, Under Baal
One Nation, Under El

etc. et. al.

Or even perhaps:

One Nation, Under Yahweh

One Nation, Under Jesus

One Nation, Under Jehovah

If you find these very narrow and specific statements preposterous, limiting, narrow, exclusive, divisive etc. congratulations - you now understand why "One Nation, Under god" just does NOT work for a government agency to set in stone WHICH god.

More importantly, am I, and others of similar mind, any less American for not believing in any of these gods at all ... the only difference between you and I is - I (we) don't believe in your god either ... it's just one small step from where you are to where we are.

History has documented 2870 gods/deities that fit the following definition:

"According to The English Dictionary, god is defined as, "a supernatural being, who is worshiped as the controller of some part of the universe, some aspect of life, or is the personification of some force." Included in this definition are all deities, goddesses and supernatural beings. "

The vast majority of US citizens dismiss 2869 of those gods out of hand without losing a minute's sleep worrying if they "might" be wrong ... it would seem the odds may not be in your favor on this point. But you only dismiss all the others because you where taught to do so from birth. It was not some great "revelation" that you had - the idea was seeded in you by humans and by society at large as you grew up.

None the less - no one is asking you to disbelieve and no one is at "war" with you. We only want American government to live up to it's Constitutional mandate - "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion ..."

By choosing which god to name in the Pledge and place on the money, the government is establishing a preferred god and religion over all others - this is illegal and should be removed.

Besides - if your faith in your god is really so strong - do you really need your dollar bills to remind you?!? ... I question your commitment to your god if you do.
