I love it when Christians claim persecution. Apparently religious rights are necessary, and all, except when other religions assert their rights. All of a sudden secularism seems mighty dandy.

The funny thing is the Pledge of Allegiance or any pledge is a Prayer, with the exception of Johnson & Johnson Lemon Pledge that I use to clean my Motorcycle with. But then that might be construed as a prayer to the god of adventure...

No, a pledge is a pledge; you're thinking of all prayers as being wishes.

Jason ON It blends together Pledges, Meditation, Prayer's. are all about focusing yourself. like the diff between biker and motorcyclist.  I guess it really depends on how it is intended and used. Islam is peace or conquest and genocide.

Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
