This guy just doesnt get it

[Dominus Fidelis]

The same misguided soul that tried to get God out of the Pledge of Allegiance is now trying to ban all religious activites from the upcoming Presidential inaguration.

""It is an offense of the highest magnitude that the leader of our nation - while swearing to uphold the Constitution - publicly violates that very document upon taking his oath of office," Mr. Newdow wrote in his Dec. 17 filing."

Um...no, the Constitution does not say that we must ban religion, as much as you would like it to do so, and no, the Founding Fathers were not atheists.

Doesn't the US currency have "In God We Trust" printed on it? Or has he already tried to have that removed too?

Being such a strong athiest, one must therefore assume that he doesn't use money, because of it's religious affiliation.

Mr. Newdow is a licensed minister of atheism, though he says he and members of his Internet church worship nobody. He says church members instead encourage a way of thinking.

Maybe he should stop imposing his "way of thinking" and his "worship of Nobody" upon the rest of us. His religion might make millions upon millions of Americans feel like "outsiders".

WASHINGTON (AP) -- An atheist who tried to remove "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance lost a bid Friday to bar the saying of a Christian prayer at President Bush's inauguration.

I pray this will end it.

Actually he is now trying to go to a higher court.

I'm sure that is on the "hit list" of the atheist movement.

When he sued for his daughter, it was obvious he was suing for himself.

If he gets two friends they can make the Three Stooges movie.

He says that Bush violates the Constitution by having a PRayer at the inagural..... YEst, the Constitution itself dictates that the oath should say: "So help me GOD"

He wants that gone too. All mention of any God or deity, and any religious books etc.

I'm hoping the higher courts will refuse to hear his case.

Why should the rest of us have to purge all religious references from our public events just to please fools like this? We have freedom of religion, not freedom FROM religion. Nobody has the right to dictate everyone else's words in order to not be offended. Nobody is making this guy pray or forcing him to do anything. Consequently, this knucklehead should not have the right to impose his atheist views on everybody else. Freedom isn't for wimps. If he's too terrified of hearing opposing views in public and wants to enjoy the fruits of atheism in an atmosphere free from any dissent, he might give North Korea a try...
