Interesting approach. You seem to suggest that doing what may be deemed unconstitional is ok because there is no law expressly forbidding it. The problem with this idea is the constition is the highest law of the land, higher than any legislation Congress may pass. Indeed, the constitution is the standard by which all congressional acts are measured. More importantly, in our spiritual lives, isn't this line of thinking how we often delude ourselves into justifying what we want instead of what is right? |

this is true, but this logic is not what the "under god" issue is about. in your analogy, the logic would then be if abortion were illegal, you wouldn't go ahead and have one anyway, right? |

I think it plain boils down to spitting in God's face. If you back up the people who spit, we are too by default so I will not do that. | ||||||

For me, the issue boils down to whether we as Christians, in this particular case, will submit to the authority of the state, which scripture says God has ordained, or if we will obey a more personal understanding of His Will, sometimes known as moral conscience, which He has planted in our hearts through His Word and Spirit. |

When the state goes against what God ordains, you go w/God, not the state. | ||||||

Nothing. I will continue to say "under God" until I'm outta here no matter what they decide. :) But if they decide to get rid of it, it's just further evidence of this country's erosion. | ||||||
