Your point is well taken and no, I have never hit the wall in turn four. =
 I
have hit several tree's and rocks at high speeds (www.tccra.org) and I
assume the effect is generally the same as hitting the wall in turn =
four,
but I fail to see what that has to do with anything we are discussing =
here.
:- )

As far as the "religious zealots" are concerned, I guess you could =
consider
me as such, but then that makes it easy to dismiss me without serious
debate, which in turn, makes you a poossy...  More smiles :- )

I will say that 2000 years of history and belief is both hard and =
foolish to
deny.  Further more, America, was founded on the Christian faith so =
"Under
God" seems not only important to me, but to several other generations =
before
me.  I think what they (Eisenhower alone?) added to the pledge in 1954 =
was
just correcting a long over due oversight, since the founding fathers of
this great nation did make reference to a supreme (God) being in both =
the
Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Am I not now forced to accept some poor unfortunate ignorant fools =
belief in
no God at all since he convinced a court to declared it =
unconstitutional?

But does all this really matter?  Most definitely not.  What will matter =
is
what you believe and where your faith is at the moment of your death.  =
If
I'm wrong and they are right, no loss.  If I'm right and your wrong, =
your
screwed..............
