7-11

okay....so i am listening to the "Christian" radio station here at work because there are only two stations that can be picked up inside the building and I am tired of listening to country. Country doesn't bother me and I am kind of partial to it, however when the DJ goes on break and the tape loops so that I am listening to the same half hour, that just ain't cuttin' it.

Anyway.....this radio station must be sponsored by a Christian fellowship and the Republican National Party. I was hoping to hear some good ole fashioned 7-11 music, when instead I got to listen to the political rhetoric of some guy who is upset because a judge in California says that the pledge is unconstitutional. There is always a judge in California saying the pledge is unconstitutional. There is not a day that goes by when the pledge is not an issue. IT IS POLITICS NOT CHRISTIANITY. By the standards set in the constitution not only is the pledge unconstitutional, so is the currency and anything that mentions God. Ah ha! says the wise man. What if One Nation Under God is not just the Christian God, but a representation of the religious freedoms upon which everyone is able to have in this country? Then does it say One Nation Under god. Who gives this word the authority to be any specified God? It doesn't say one nation under the Christian God who is a part of the Holy Trinity, Father of man and Christ, etc. It says One Nation Under God, Indivisible, ....etc. Duh? Although I also understand that the pledge was edited in the 1950's and it probably means GOD GOD not god. I am just feeling very debatable today. I could take either side of any argument and just talk and talk. Mom says that I started walking and talking at nine months and they haven't gotten me to shut up since. I like a good debate every now and then. It sparks my mind and keeps me educated. If I can't argue about something it means that I am ignorant. I am not about being ignorant. Anyway, since no one was around to argue with, I argued with the radio. The women at work think I am nuts, which is good because I am. Sometimes, you just gotta be a little crazy. Yeah.
