"oh, i know this one - if the nation is "under god" (which actually could be interpreted as 'we're really getting f*cked here'), then the nation, and , by default, its leaders, command exalted respect & admiration, for their service is performed in servitude to a higher power. just as god works in mysterious ways, so do "our" leaders & the system in which they operate & knowing this, they should be given the benefit of the doubt. if this is truly the case, then, one should keep in mind that speech which doesn't accept on good faith the motives of our leaders or social/economic/political structure is blasphemy. operatively, the concept of tact serves to reinforce the system by discouraging critical inquiry & dissent, placing the imaginary burden of "guilt" solely in the realm of the individual."

Here, above, is a perfect example of what has divided this Country. My behavior is not based on that of others, wide is the road and narrow is the path. This feedback obviously does not come from one that practices Christianity and serves as a perfect example as to why Indivisibility is so lost. Unfortunatly, the same holds true for many of our leaders today ... which this comment appears to be reflecting. Choices are up to the individual, the world is not the scapegoat to justify principles. And I doubt this poster even knows the difference between religion and Christianity!
