Do yourself a big favor.
Download a copy of the Constitution into a word processing program.

Next, search for the word "God" in that document. You won't find it.

Now, figure out why. Take your time.

Thank you,

Floog

2. Yes Ma'am!
It is up for you to decide; not the government.

But you already knew that. ;)

4. Tell that to Pat Robertson
I bet his head would explode. If that doesn't work tell him about how Thomas Jefferson cut up his bible.

5. I know there is no mention of God in the Constitution
It was because the Founding Fathers did not want religion mixing with government and f*cking everything up. They were obviously much smarter than many who live today. :-(

10. That was the largest part of them.
The others didn't want government interfering in their religion.

12. The thing is

is that it doesn't matter to the people who would push their agenda. For them the Bible trumps the Constitution. Or I should say their misinterpretation of the Bible.
