Yahoo! News - Atheist in Supreme Court Objects to 'Under God' Phrase

Anyone hear about this Newdon guy and his challenge to the Pledge of Allegiance?

Never have been (and probably never will be) religious. Still, in my view, this challenge isn't really about respecting the right of atheists... it's about having the belief of one particular person, in this case Mr. Newdon, rammed down society's throat disguised as an argument that society disrespects that right by having his daughter recite "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.

What a crock of shit.

In my view, Mr. Newdon's as bad as all those Bible Thumping Christian Conservatives who declare that prayer should be an integral part of the schools, that evolution's a hoax, that sex education is bad and all that. (They're also full of Shit.)

One thing about Mr. Newdon and those Christian Conservatives, they're both intolerant, close minded people. In their universe, they and only they have the right answer and they and only they have a right to be heard. Worst of all, they and only they should be followed.

Intolerance is intolerance, no matter how you disguise it and Mr. Newdon's as guilty of that sin as you can get.
