I voted no! This is crazy that it is 58% to 42% to keep it. That's way too close! What is wrong with you people, it should definitely stay!

No, it should not be changed. This country was founded on Christian principles. If you don't like it, get the hell out.

As stated before, this country was founded on freedom of religion. There are many more religions that believe in one God, not just Christians.
I voted NO

Hell NO!!

The country was founded on judeo christian ideals, If the pathetic muslims don't like it feel free to go be repressed in any other country.

Oh and I want me son to say the pledge of alliegence everyday, if he doesn't in school, he will at home before he leaves!!

You should go read some history about when the phrase was placed on money.

im not against it and it doesnt bother me but people want to talk about double standards and thats pretty much what that is.
Please show me in the Constitution where it states "separation of church and state."

To save you from wasting your time...nah, go ahead and search.

it was also believed that your heart skips a beat while sneezing, causing the risk of a possible heart attack, and ultimately dieing from it. it was kinda used as a last "good luck if you go" of some sorts..

whether or not your heart actually skips a beat though while sneezing, i have no idea... lol.
