One Nation Under God?

Question

I'm interested to see what other people think of this-

Please feel free to voice your opinion.

Though I'd rather not spell out the meaning of it, it has to do with the destructive relationship between extremist Christianity and the United States government. The shots of radically right Neocons and fundamentalist Christians leads to scenes from Waco and the Oklahoma City bombing, which were related to one another, and in my opinion were a result of ignorance and hate, derived both from religious radicals, and the government.

If the point was that lost on you, I highly recommend watching this film-

And after doing so I think you'll have a new appreciation for what's in that video. Thanks to all who watched.

Answer 1

Extremely disturbing. Some loving Christians there. NOT

Answer 2

So what about the non-Christians who are citizens, pay taxes, serve in the armed forces, are involved in their communities and vote? All such religious tripe should be removed from anything governmental. It's time to honor separation of church and state once and for all.

Answer 3

This nation made the biggest mistake by voting Bush back into the white house. How many troops have died a senseless death in Iraq without finding and WMD's?? Why are we still over there spending our kids future dollars on a country all for oil?? My child is going to end up payin the bill for the damage that is being done over there right now...there is not a point to this war, and with everyone wanting to take Christ out of our lives, those of you who think this is right, you deserve what is given to you. I believe everyone has a right to believe in something or someone but when ur child is shot in school, or a rapist finds their way to you or someone you love, who do you blame? When the judge looks at you with non sympathetic eyes, you get angry. who are you blaming all the negative things on? You close him out and you complain that justice is not being served. where are your morals? Do you not believe that you are on this earth for a reason? How did it come to pass that you were born? Someone gave you life. That someone I believe was Jesus Christ himself. He's the only thing that will get us thru all these wars, pain, and sorrow, but if you shut him out the only one you have to blame is yourself......far as gov't is concerned, nothing left to say. we will never get anything on terrorism because even if they did find OBL today, there are amillion like him all around. nothing will change unless, WE THE PEOPLE do something about it.

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION, UNDER GOD INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL......NOT ONE WORD IN THIS WOULD I CHANGE....

Answer 4

That video needed some sort of point. Just alot of hooey and shots of things that are truly opinions, without pulling them together for an actual point.

Answer 5

The term was added in the 50's in the Red Scare. Now the Christians want to call it "tradition" and keep it in.

Answer 6

Love the music, reminds of the soundtrack that plays in my head whenever I encounter a fundie.

Answer 7

I didn't get it. It was hard to tell if it was pro- or anti- NeoCon / religious zealot.

Cool music though.

I do believe that our nation is becoming a theocracy.
