Kids, people, anyone who do/does not know or accept the idea

that American is one nation under God, not under Mohammed, will not understand the chaos that will continue until we reject all aspects of sharia law and government. Only a nation under God can be free.

So….

Are you then willing to give up your freedom to believe and practice Christianity, and believe only in the Jewish God?

under god appeared in 1954

And if "god" which one?

and if you are bowing to a god, is that really free?

Don’t be balmy!

I’m talking about the concept, not the particular phrase. Consult the quotes of the founding fathers and the basic one-of-a-kind
foundation we have, unlike any other, ever. Your confusion about who God is was not an issue for them. They were convinced of the necessity of freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.

Let's take a closer look

Thomas Jefferson: Skeptical of traditional Christian orthodoxy and miracles, he famously compiled his own edited version of the New Testament (the Jefferson Bible) focused on Jesus' moral teachings rather than his divinity
The majority of the founding fathers who wrote the US Constitution and Bill of Rights were deists… meaning they did not believe in the Christian or Jewish God but that God was nature nature was God. And as God was nature there was no sense in praying or talking to nature as God.

The founding father who had the most impact on the US Constitution and Bill of Rights was Thomas Jefferson who said in his private letters he was an atheist.

George Washington: Kept his personal beliefs private, frequently using the term "Providence" rather than "God" in public addresses, and supported strict separation of church and state

Thomas Paine: Often considered the most radical of the era, Paine was a Deist who sharply criticized institutional Christianity and the Bible in The Age of Reason,

Ethan Allen: One of the few major figures from the revolutionary period to explicitly publish anti-Christian and deist works (such as Reason the Only Oracle of Man), though he still maintained a belief in an almighty creator

Yes, let’s do.

First of all, Ethan Allen, while a founding father of Vermont, is not considered a founding father of the country.

In addition, Thomas Jefferson, was not an atheist and this is recorded in à letters he wrote to John Adams.

George Washington was a very religious man, privately expressed. His nephew reported visiting him morning and night to find him reading the Bible, and on his knees praying. I remember visiting à church in Alexandria, Va., where he worshipped regularly. The records say he seldom missed a Sunday.

All of the founding fathers believed in God which was my opening statement.

Religious wars…

will be our undoing.

Our founders broke away from the kings, monarchs and ‘the Churches’ affiliated with those monarchs, and created a secular nation and government grounded in democracy, freedom and justice for all.

So now we have come full circle… with these ‘Heritage’ P25 people trying to take over our democratic government and insert their own chosen leaders and dictators to assert their racist, sexist and xenophobic vision of how this country should be run, according to their religious or ‘God’ beliefs… ‘my way or the highway’ philosophy.

Trump is just a useful idiot to them. He does the distracting while they work in the background.

No matter what religion you profess to be of

there is only One God !

Not bad: you're only off by one,

Agree.

Under God. That’s acknowledging there is an entity singular, unseen, a Spirit, manifested in the creation of every concept. And particularly in the creation of Life. We do not runs circles around a meteorite, a massive black black box , and believe Mohammad can ever be a substitute for Jesus Christ.

God is not real.

À one-trick pony

Posted by observer on October 13, 2026, 7:41 pm, in reply to "God is not real."

with a one-note message is not expected to comprehend neither the idea nor the reality of an omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent God. Yet, along with Nobel Laureates, physicists, poets, geologists, mathematicians are simple folk and children who completely understand. If you haven’t hardened your heart, there’s still hope for you, K.R.

Trish seems very confused

she changes her position on Religion constantly.

I am very consistent

Posted by trish on October 15, 2026, 8:20 am, in reply to "Trish seems very confused"

if you have any examples of my changing my position, please post. You may have trouble interpreting them correctly

You have trouble

Posted by Gustavo on October 16, 2026, 3:45 am, in reply to "I am very consistent"

remembering the ignorance you post.

Aren't you special, bless your heart

Posted by trish on October 16, 2026, 6:17 am, in reply to "You have trouble"

We all know who you are and your tactics have not changed one bit. You are still a nasty little troll, who (by the way) never gave proff of your claim
