Goddess Rising Network: One Nation Under God And Liberty For White People

from O YE DRYBONES (FEB 2019 - JAN 2025) · host DRYBONES

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that the phrase “under God” constituted an endorsement of religion, and therefore violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Under God (Are we all under God, under the same God, and the only such nation?) The “under God” discussions is undoubtedly one of the most heated, because our “indivisible” nation is divided about God. Our public schools train students to say the Pledge of Allegiance whether they understand it or not, because simply regurgitating the Pledge daily is supposed to make them more patriotic. That strategy succeeds if patriotism means just following orders of those in power. Adding  “under God” then equates patriotism with God belief, and implies that atheists can’t be patriotic.Although we tend to deify our founders and hold them up as role models, we act more like them when we question the old order and try to improve it. Our founders wrote the world’s first secular Constitution, and they also established a method for future generations to amend it when needed.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/o-ye-drybones-archive--6500709/support.
