			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2010/06/NCBillboard.jpg"><img class="alignleft" title="NC Secular Billboard" src="../wp-content/uploads/2010/06/NCBillboard.jpg" alt="One Nation Indivisible" width="200" height="129" /></a>The <a href="http://www.ncsecular.org">North Carolina Secular Association</a> has started putting up new billboards in areas around North Carolina that rebuts &#8220;under God&#8221; in the pledge of allegiance.</p>
<blockquote><p>A coalition of atheists and secular humanists has placed a billboard on Billy Graham Parkway in Charlotte that displays an American flag with a few key words from the Pledge of Allegiance: “One Nation Indivisible.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Three companies refused to place the billboards, claiming they were too controversy but honestly, like the article reads from a statement from William Warren that says those that claim these are controversial are the ones causing the controversy.</p>
<p>These billboards are in fact just letting those that are godless know they are not alone and there&#8217;s no longer a reason to hide your true self and ideas.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Steve Kreuscher likes to waste tax payer dollars. Steve Kreuscher likes to change his name to take a stand for his god. His actual legal name as it stands with the government is In God We Trust but now wants to change it to One Nation Under God.</p>
<p>Sound crazy? Well it is and Steve should be denied changing his name once again as to me, it&#8217;s just wasting money I sent to be collected as tax dollars that could be benefiting something better, like perhaps removing these silly phrases from U.S. currency or perhaps our Pledge of Allegiance.</p>
<p>&#8220;He added that he is considering changing his name a total of seven times because seven is a holy number. He&#8217;s considering changing his name to What Would Jesus Do, the next time around.&#8221;</p>
<p>Shall we tally up the cost to change one&#8217;s name 7 total times? I&#8217;m all for one changing their name to their own liking but I also feel there should be a limit and good reasons behind it as well.</p>
<p>&#8220;He thinks about 85 percent of the country is Christian and blames the movements to remove the phrase &#8220;under God&#8221; from the Pledge of Allegiance on political correctness &#8212; the &#8220;greatest disease&#8221; of this generation.&#8221;</p>
<p>Without this political correctness and our first amendment rights, you might not have such freedoms Steve. It&#8217;s not a disease, it&#8217;s the right thing to do. Religion poisons government and government poisons religion, keep them separate forever.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is considering arguments in a Texas Pledge of Allegiance lawsuit.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The following article is from <a title="OneNewsNow" href="http://www.onenewsnow.com/Legal/Default.aspx?id=995832" target="_blank">OneNewsNow:<br />
</a></p>
<p>The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is considering arguments in a Texas Pledge of Allegiance lawsuit.</p>
<p>Two families in North Texas filed suit objecting to the phrase &#8220;under God&#8221; in the Pledge, which is recited daily in Texas public schools. The parents contend that inclusion of the phrase violates the First Amendment. But since 2007, when the Pledge was amended to include the phrase, Attorney General Greg Abbott&#8217;s office has worked to keep it that way.</p>
<p>&#8220;The U.S. Supreme Court [and] other courts of appeals have recognized that the Pledge of Allegiance is a patriotic exercise; it&#8217;s not a religious one. The references to &#8216;under God&#8217; in the Pledge serve a legitimate secular purpose of promoting patriotism,&#8221; explains attorney Jeff Mateer of the <a title="Liberty Institute" href="http://www.libertyinstitute.org/" target="_blank">Liberty Institute</a>, the firm which helped argue the case.</p>
<p>The atheist parents who filed the lawsuit are the same ones who previously sued to ban the moment of silence at the beginning of public school days. Though the court ruled against their argument in that case, Mateer believes these families are simply trying to bulldoze Christianity out of any public forum.</p>
<p>&#8220;They clearly have an agenda in which they are trying to use the courts to somehow take any reference to God out of the public schools,&#8221; he suspects.</p>
<p>A ruling should be reached over the next several weeks.</p>
