"i actually heard about this at some point in HS and looked it up and couldn't believe it. always refused to say the 'under god' part when we said the pledge in HS...i could've definitely used this as an argument, but i guess…"

"Doesn't matter. Religious freedom to them means for them only. This is why it's okay for them to erect a giant cross on a hill but throw a hissy fit when we request there not be forced prayer in schools."

Ruth Anthony-Gardner said… - Greetings, Laners! I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus since July. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.

Welcome to this great Nexus meeting place and its thousands of bright people like you who recognise religion for the superstition and brainwashing fraud that it is---
and that gods exist only as fictions inside people's heads.
Terry Meaden
originator of the busy discussion group
"ORIGINS: Universe, Life, Earth, Humankind, Fossils, Religion, Evolution, Darwin..." with its over 240 discussion topics.
We invite you to come and see, and to make good new friends.
