Whoa......... Let me see if i understand, since you can't shove your religion down everybody's throats, that means you can't "trust under god" unless sponsored by government? Jim, you must be a very, very weak Christian. Why in the world would you need government to sponsor your specific religious beliefs before you pray?

Greetings All On Monday 4 October I gave fair notice that religion, and how the government (regardless of what country) has or has not dealt with religious issues is very definitely OFF-TOPIC for this list. I stated I do not wish to see any further posts to the CCC list on this thread and I expected listers to respect my wishes regarding this. One of my two rules for this list is NO FLAMES. I expect that rule to be followed.. The topic thread started with the subject line THE LAW IS THE LAW is not only OFF-TOPIC for the CCC list -- it is OUT-OF-BOUNDS. Postings regarding it are to stop -- NOW. From the time this message is posted, should ANYONE continue this thread their email address will immediately, and without further notice, be placed on the reject list so that I can monitor any further posts by them. They will remain on the reject list until I can be reasonably certain that the few rules of the CCC list are being followed and that this particular thread is dead. I sincerely hope that it will not be found necessary to do this. Happy Hunting. Gordon A. Watts CCC List Administrator.
