Shirley, You Jest.
I can't even believe this is actually still running. The Pledge of Alligence declared Unconstitutional? It makes me sick. I mean, for crying out loud, this nation was founded in an effort to promote religious tolerance, and I'm all for that -- but it seems to me that we are fast on our way to smothering anything remotely religious, all in the name of not offending anyone.
Fuck that, it's my Constitutional Right to offend someone if I so choose (read the Bill of Rights, it's in there implicitly). Shouldn't we be interested in TOLERATING religion, rather than smothering it?
