(5,737 posts)Those two words "under God" were added for political reasons as this country was still recovering from WWII and entering the Cold War with the USSR. If that "Florida man" doesn't understand that, then he didn't learn much in school. What is happening to our country is that people have had enough of the religions of others being pushed upon them. I am a Christian and find the actions of people like that guy to be messed up.
I was flipping channels a few nights ago and on one of the church channels were a couple of guys talking about how religion shaped out country. More to the point, how Christianity was embedded in our Constitution. Those two were making stuff up and passing it along as fact. Another example of people not learning much in school. it bother me to no end how people are so concerned about children learning about God and religion in school, but neglecting to accept that it is the parents responsibility to take their kids to church and Sunday School.
The words of that guy are the dumbest thing I have ever read and I an ashamed that he lives in the US.
