That's not quite as ancient as the "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, which was <a HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pledge_of_Allegiance" rel="nofollow">enacted in 1954</A>. But none of this shit exactly predates time. Or the US. Or my parents. For being founded on faith, and having God the center of the US's existence, we've really been screwing the Heavenly Pooch on some of this stuff.

That has to be ironic, right? I wish I could think of some clever joke about what weight class he must be in if he can walk on water or something.

Pissed about the ACLU lawsuit? Shouldn't have had a need to be brought in the first place. I don't know how people can't get it through their heads: I'm happy you're happy about your faith, I just don't want to pay for it. Be proud of your god, but not on my dime. Seems so simple. I'm so not posting there, but if you want to post a link go right ahead. No promises I let their comments through (unless they want to pay me to be happy with my own website).

Provided said van is registered to a married person, of course. That graphic is awesome, by the way. I'm tempted to steal it and use it as my facebook photo. Or something.
