Many of our oldest edifices in this country have references to God and/or the Bible. The assertion that they don't belong there, or that they are even unconstitutional, is ridiculous. The idea that we understand the intent of the framers of the Constitution better now, 220 years later, than did those who lived during the time it was written, is hubris of monumental proportions.

Any group that defends "under God" in the pledge by talking about "time honored traditions" is just too uneducated for me to support. The original pledge did not say "under God". If you care about "time honored traditions", you'll support removing this very recent alteration of our great country's pledge. No. I don’t support them.
