Pelosi Agrees - Censor God From Flag Certificates

[darin]

it is about God in the public square... about God in our government. I do not believe that is the place for Him....

I have to rep you for this one!!!!!!!!!

God in politics, Allah in politics...soon there'll be no room for politicians. I suppose then they'll all be kicked out and it will be the clergy and the mullahs making the rules.

You must not of read the article either. This has nothing to do with God and the government

you clearly take the phrase "God in the public square" very literally. God in public things... God in public documents.... get it? Why does God need to be there when there are tax payers who do not believe in Him? Why do Christians who DO, need to have public subsidized memorializations to Him?

And why don't you just stop with this silly immature gotcha game you seem to love to play with me all the time, and act your age, assuming you ARE over 14. Just lay off the negative repping and the sniping and talk issues with me and I will do the same. OK?

really? Are you suggesting that the certificates that accompany flags flown over the capitol are produced by some private organization?

So how do you buy things since the word God is on our money?

For you to whine about someone else playing the gotcha game, and sniping is a real hoot

The flag is raised over the Capital then lowered. The certificate is written with words requested - there is no endorsement of Religion

So.. someone could request a certificate that, let's say, expressed their solidarity with NAMBLA, that would OK with you? Or Satan? You would be just as outraged if the capitol architect denied those requests?

So you equate God with NAMBLA and Satan?

I buy things all the time. God on money doesn't bother me. I don't see the need for it, and I can understand why non Christians or Jews might find it a bit offensive.... and I am not whining at all. I am suggesting that dmp and I raise our level of debate. I have requested similar things from you over the months, and you clearly want nothing to do with it.... because, I would guess, there is no canned talking point or one liner that specifically addresses it.

no. YOU said that it was a certificate and people got to request what they wanted on it. I only asked how far you took that.

from my link....

Acting Architect Stephen T Ayers said in a statement that the policy of disallowing political and religious statements on flag certificates has been inconsistently applied and does not fulfill the objectives of the office.

"It is inappropriate and beyond the scope of this agency’s responsibilities to censor messages from members," Ayers said.


So much for censoring God

So...you WOULD be OK if someone wanted to request adulation to Satan on a certificate accompanying the flag?

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
