Why isn't it politically correct to publicly acknowledge GOD?

Answer 1

no matter if it is politically correct or not you are suppose to acknowledge God anytime publicly or not and if you read the bible it tells you just that.God Bless You!

Answer 2

Future generations will study our time on earth and identify Political Correctness' as the downfall of our society. So concerned are the politicians and corporate giants to 'not offend' that they have strayed from their purpose. And a close second to the cause for our spiral downward is the right of any citizen to sue another. Its ridiculous. So much time and energy wasted in the courtroom on things that should and could be settled amongst the individuals. Or just left alone.

People need to live their own lives...they need to focus on their families and being good citizens. Today, people are LOOKING for offensive materials, so that they can sound off. And they get the attention they seek from the whores in the media.

How bout a little bit of tolerance...for people who believe differently from ourselves. Amazing what one can learn when they stop being so bloody afraid of the differences and recognize that diversity is GOOD!

Answer 3

This is primarily the outcropping of the first amendment. Called freedom of religion it basically states that the congress will make no law establishing a religion or infringing on the free exercise thereof. This has often been called a separation of church and state, though those particular words are not used. You may acknowledge God, any God publicly, but elected officials and public areas, such as government buildings are supposed to be religiously neutral under current politically correct policies.

Answer 4

I have no idea, but it's perfectly acceptable to publicly acknowledge any other belief system. I blame public education.

And, regardless of what the Secular Progressives want to believe and preach, it is not illegal.

John Doe would like us to practice our faith everywhere but the way the Bible said to do it, which was "...into all the world..." And he also does not understand our 1st Amendment rights. Nowhere is there a Constitutional right to "not be offended."

Answer 5

I publicly acknowledge God and I don't care what others think or do. And I have scorned politically correctness in all it's horrid fallacies since the day it had been conceived.

Answer 6

Because then the professional atheist bitching society will come out and whine in the Lamestream media about how put upon they feel because other people openly espouse a belief they do not agree with.

This will be followed by a line of ignorant whiners who spout off about the mythical "separation between church and state" without the least comprehension of the Constitution and Bill of Rights they misinterpret.

Answer 7

Do you mean your God? Were you one of the ones who was offended when the United States, newly elected Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison wanted to swear his oath of office on the Quran? Would you want prayer in School? If so Whose prayer? Would you be horrified if every day a different child got to say to a prayer from their religion and a witch or satanist got up? The country is great because of tolerance of others religions and I have no problem with someone professing thier faith publicly but don't be offended with others doing what makes you uncofratable.

Answer 8

The seperation of Church and state is a lie. In our founding documents it is said that the Creator gave us our freedoms not the Constitution or the Declaration of Independance. And that no man or manmade law can take that away. They also said that a good America will be a moral America. Once it stops being moral it stops being good. And thew best way to keep morality in our government is to keep our Creator God in our government.

Answer 9

I don't really think of it as a matter of "political correctness." If you feel the overwhelming need to make some sort of public display of your faith or spiritual joy (I'm not referring to nativity scenes or such), knock yourself out, but.......

in some ways, I consider flamboyant, charismatic displays of spiritual joy or prayer to be as ostentatious and inconsiderate as someone yakking loudly on a cell phone about their hemorrhoid surgery.

Since God is supposedly omni-present, he can hear your thoughts; there is no need to make outward showing for the benefit of those around you.

If you want to "share" your joy with others, do it at your church or place of worship, with those who feel like you do.

Answer 10

Because religion is a sociological construct and being naive is not something you look forward to displaying
