J's veiw:

I would like to first mention that I do believe in a greater being, though I do not attend a church due to my disagreement with many if not most organized religions. That said, I believe our generation was the first to really see that our nation is not a nation with religion separate from the state. As a child I remember seeing where religion crept into the state. On our money, in our pledge and our oath when sworn in, just to name a few. I understand that the founding fathers may not have meant for religion to be this seperate from the state, but in todays world all religion must be seperate from the state.

With so many differnet religions out there and many not believing in ONE god, or not believing in any god at all, then we should not force them to recite something that to them does not stand true. The rubutal to this is usually that they do not have to say the oath, but then that singles out that child, opening them up to criticism by other children. Should we force these children to be made fun of, Our Constitution says NO.

This is not an argument over wether a god exisits or over which god exisits, but a question of what our Constitution says should be allowed to be in place. Our constitution says there should be a seperation from the church and the state. Therefore by pledging that we are a Nation under GOD, we are violating our own constituion.

I am not saying that there is not a god, but merely that we should not reference whether there is or not in our "Official" Government declarations, pledges, or documents. After all in todays world that is Uncontitutional.

And that is J's view, if you'd like to respond to my comments please e-mail citc@myecom.net
