I'm going to take the liberty to move this to a more appropriate forum category, as this doesn't sound like an introduction. Feel free to move it to something better if the one I move it to does not suit.

Hope the forum goes well! I think you folks in the Bible Belt are brave.

By the way... anyone questioning the patriotism of the folks who paid for/promote these billboards are going to look like fools.

My question is would it be against the law to say the pledge w/o the god mention?
Seems it's just a monopoly that's fading like the majority of fear-based-monopolies do.

Are the media too giddy over the Pope?

With all the media attention the on the Pope, important stories are being missed, human rights violations, Monsanto protection act, Russia march to blasphemy laws, and of the big story this week did Harry Potter vanquish dementors?See More
