Ryan is right in quoting our constitution…but I don’t think anyone is trying to “establish” a national religion (like the First Church of America or something like that)…I believe the point of this bill is to have a day to remember that this country does, in fact, have deep roots in the Christian faith. Let’s celebrate it, not try to cover it up.

To Joel, I sincerely apologize. Sometimes in our zeal to defend our faith (or maybe upset at being called “superstitious yokel supporters”), we react in a mean spirit. Please forgive us.

To Daniel & Robin, “We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it; when we are slandered, we answer kindly. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.”
1 Corinthians 4:12-13 (New International Version)

I agree with Kevin… I think the word that needs to be stressed is “honoring”. Just think about what it would be like if the 10 commandments were followed – and if that is too complicated – how about just the Golden Rule to ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’. I don’t think those nations were following the direction of God. I think we better take a hard look in the mirror as individuals and do something about it or we as a nation will end up where they are…

Joel said: “I guess maybe they weren’t honoring the One True god.”

Joel is correct. Just because someone says they believe in God The Father or Jesus Christ, doesn’t mean they follow Them. I think Joel is bitter towards God about something that happened to him or someone he knows.

I do appreciate the comments from daniel and Robin. You really embody the spirit of love of christianity.

For everyone else who actually cares about the intellectual argument over this proposed bill, let me direct you to the First Amendment;

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The same Bill of Rights that allowed you to exercise your religion free from the influence of the King of England back in the late 1700s also protects everyone else from your attempts to force your opinions onto others.

I agree with daniel. You sir, are an agnostic moron. You should thank all of the “superstitious yokel supporters” from the past that gave an dithering idiot like you the FREEDOM from persecution to post tripe such as this.

If you don’t like the foundations of this country and the liberties it allow you, perhaps you should move to another country where you will recieve appropriate attention, and perhaps a bit of behavioral modification, necessary to improve your attitude.

Also, I have to wonder how you support yourself and what you contribute to this society at large? I suspect you’re living in the basement or attic of mommy and daddy’s house and sponging off of their hard work while you waste away the days.

Good day sir, may your farce be with you!
