Why support moronic opinions? Why acquiesce to the anti-God crowd?

How so? How in the world would the phrase "under God" in our Pledge
affect any of your religious freedoms?

They are.

You are reading way more into the "one nation under God" statement. It
is merely an acknowledgement that we believe our Nation is guided by
God. (Supreme Being)

Exactly.

There is one Supreme Being. 2000 years ago, a son of God was preaching
on this planet, thus christianity was born. However, all religions
believe in a Supreme Being. Logic and common sense demands that there
be a Supreme Being. The extreme complexities of life and the Universe
demand it.

This entire "under God" controversy has occurred due to the moron's
attempt to force his atheist religion on the rest of our Nation. It is
absurd that we should relinquish our beliefs for the moron and the 2
liberal bozos on the 9th court, just because he doesn't want his
moronic daughter to be "exposed" to God. No one is forcing any atheist
to say the Pledge, but this moron is trying to force us to alter the
Pledge to suit his own fricking view on religion.
