I wonder if, under The New Christian Regime, they would provide an accurate history of their influence and effects on the world over the centuries. For instance, their role in creating and administering the kind and tolerant native Christian Schools for the indigenous peoples of N. America. A far-reaching and detailed written history of their efforts in this regard would make for fascinating reading for bright young minds!

Oh, and a curriculum section on the long history of rampant homosexual pedophilia in Catholic Churches? Or, how about an annual wall calendar depicting, each month, a different ancient scholar who was killed off for presenting interesting and later proven facts or theories to the church of the day?

We could call it the "Off with their Heads" calendar with frameable prints!

Yey prayer! And "yey religious intolerance and vicious bigotry"!

OK, newbie. You picked a bad topic to start your posting career. Let me set you straight on a few things. Masonry is NOT a religion. Religions generally require that you worship something. Masonry doesn't do that. Many public building have masonic symbols on them because the masons laid the cornerstones of those buildings. Masonry does have some secrets, but those secrets do not include the existence of the organization or the location of the buildings, and members are free to disclose their membership. The masons are positively NOT luciferians, nor a religion of any sort. There is no masonic order in government, either.

If you're going to come into these forums and post a bunch of wild rants, you should bring links to solid proof of your accusations. If you think some fundamentalist preacher's rants about masonry will work, prepare to be bombarded by those who know the truth.

You know it's really a shame that you have wasted your first post on such nonsense. I would suggest that maybe you should visit a Masonic Lodge in your Rochester, New York area and have a talk with some of the members of the fraternity and learn a little bit of history before you go about making such erroneous statements.

You know that's a good question Asheville, could be somebody come back under a different name, but it is their first question under that name. Maybe it's worth having the moderators check him out....

Not to mention when saying the Pledge Of Allegence the words One nation under God the children are more or less brain washed into thinking this nation was based on Christian values. I think the OP wishes that the schools should be able to make children pray. Post's like this always rub me the wrong way. Some people are not happy unless thier faith is FORCED down the throat of everyone in this country. Next the OP will be wanting to throw out those of us who don't believe as they do.

That G-d mentioned in the Pledge of Allegiance is the Jewish G-d.

Excellent way to make the point that references to generic God are NOT references to specific religions and cannot violate the establishment clause . . . something too many rabble-rousing atheists cannot seem to grasp.

How is citing the Jewish G-d a generic reference? And last time I checked the Jewish G-d was same as the Christian God. The Christian theocrats who had "God" foisted into our pledge, motto and money certainly didn't have a "generic" God in mind, I assure you. "Allah" is just the Arabic word for "God" yet if you put Allah on our coins and in our pledge & motto there would be an uproar from Christians. But HEY it's ONLY a "generic" reference!

Besides, using "God" in the singular sense also establishes a preference for monotheistic religions over polytheism and other forms of religious belief, and that in itself is indeed a violation of the establishment clause.
