So it is OK to violate the separation of church and state by imposing his own minority religion on the rest of the country.  Sadly another irrational, marginalized individual seeking his 15 minutes of fame;( 

I don't get it...isn't there NOTHING we can do without 'someone' or a group of 'someones' don't feel offended by 'this or that'...will we ever see an end to the constent 'I don't like this or We want that..'

Have we truely become a Nation of Whiners....Everyone BELIEVES in something...but don't slam others down because they BELIEVE......

Of course..thats just my opinion.....

I may be wrong, but isn't this the same guy who was exposed by his daughter as a liar when he made the claim that SHE was the one offended by tthe pledge of alligance? I have always been of teh same opinion as Ling; stop whining and considering yourself above others whos beliefs differ from yours Calling someone any name because their views differ from yours only proves your immaturity and lack of tolerance.

.I am a believer, but not a church guy. I have no issues with those without faith, be they athiests or agnostics, I have no issues with those of differing beliefs. All I ask is that they give me the same respect I give them by not shoving their belief, or lack of it, on me. I rarely get what I ask for.

Michael NewDow and Randy Thomasson are both off the deep end and should be ignored.

Personally I think hes pitiful and the sooner he passes from this earth the better

Well, as the lone atheist (and naturist) in Bakersfield, I suppose I should comment; I think this guy is out of line. I couldn't care less if "God" is mentioned in the oath, printed on our money or in the Pledge. Who cares? As an atheist the concept of God is meaningless (also sad and pointless) to me. Many of the people who say those words don't really believe in God anyway, or if they do, it's just for show or to hedge their bets, as it were. They could say "In the Cosmic Blueberry we Trust" for all I (or any atheist) should care. Separation of church and state means that the government should not discriminate against, endorse, enforce any religion, or lack there of, of any kind. Nor should those of you who call yourselves religious discriminate against me for not being so.

This guy should get another hobby and leave y'all religious folk alone.

There are nuts aplenty in this country--and now Sioux has been kind enough to find an athiest nut for us.

But don't go saying anything against the Pentecostals--OH NO.

Cat I didnt find him..he fell off the nut tree and bumped his head...when he stoodup he was on a soap box and craving  attention

" he fell off the nut tree and bumped his head...when he stoodup he was on a soap box and craving  attention." Well, certainly no religious person has ever done that, right? He is voicing his opinion. I think he's going too far with it, even as I am a "devout" atheist, but he is still entitled, as a free American, to voice his opinion. He is also entitled to try to change things. He can propose and support whatever he wants. Religious people do that too. You can call him nuts all you want, but there are vastly more religious "nuts" out there trying to force their beliefs on the world than there are atheist "nuts" trying to stop them. Again, I think his efforts and energy are misdirected, but he'll figure that out.

Just another eccentric looking for 15 minutes of fame.
