Gerard, my daughter's 4 year-old 4k class recited the PoA at their graduation last week. It was pretty cool to hear about 40 4 and 5 year-olds reciting it word for word. The only thing I would've changed - my daughter was the only one with her left hand over her heart. :rolleyes:

There is a saying about walking a mile in your neighbor's moccasins if you actually want to understand what it feels like from their cultural perspective. It is a very good metaphorical exercise. Do try it, please, at least in your own imagination.

I love America.

Our founding fathers believed that without God, and prayer, the country would never succeed. From 1774 until now, there has been opening prayer in congress. Read the first opening prayer on sept. 7, 1774. http://chaplain.house.gov/archive/continental.html

In this video, listen to what Benjamin Franklin wrote to George Washington

With what our founding fathers wrote, it seems that "under God" fits in the PofA.


I may or may not agree with anything above. Nothing in this post besides whats underlined, is my opinion or view.

Yup ... I now fully regret every responding to this thread and having it take up room on my "My Replies" list. Should have trusted my gut and realized that no topic that has the potential to do with religion and/or politics can stay away.

Oy.

Can a mod please just shut this down? Please???

Sadness. I had hoped that after my last post the members could refrain from throwing any more gas onto this tiny camp-fire.

The original post deserved more than this.
