(Sorry for the Animal House reference, but I couldn’t resist.)
Yes, we all know that the Pledge stuff is coming down the pipeline this week (personally, I’m not that optimistic), and it’s all over the news. But there was just one story (so far) that made me chuckle. It’s from Kerrville, TX: Majority rules: ‘Under God’ Should Stay
The vast majority of this nation�s population believes in the existence of a Creator god. Whether they subscribe to the Judeo-Christian God � who the writers of the U.S. Constitution believed in � or they pray to Allah, the over-riding belief is that our country and this world was created by God.The voices objecting to a pledge of allegiance reciting �one nation under God� are a minority. In a democratic nation where the right to practice or not practice religion is guaranteed, the voices of the minority are heard and listened to, but should not be allowed to silence the wishes and views of the majority.
And there ya go, democracy all neat and tidy. (I’ll let you guys take care of this democratic-math problem for homework.) I’d think it was really funny if it wasn’t for the fact that this thought is probably on a lot of xian minds about now. Oh well, we’ll see how it goes.
