That is true, but how does the world keep on going and working! It's a miracle! :)

I'm in the crowd that wants it changed, because it bugged the living
crap out of me in middle school. I was an athiest then, and repeatedly
got in trouble for not saying the "under God" line.
Yeah, I'm anal about religion and government. I admit it. It's just
one of those things that gets under my skin. It's probably because I've
lived in such overwhelmingly religious communities, but (until the last
4 or 5 years) didn't even *really* believe in God. I was either an
athiest or agnostic (willing to believe in the existance, but personally
disbelieving).
So I think we can just agree that what we each consider reasonable isn't
necessarily so to others, and end this waste of time. :-)
