The idea of censorship has been in our culture for years, I believe that it is an exceptionally good principle - in most cases. The cases that it is good in are those such as foul language, or nudity and the like - things that would (to the majority) be considered socially unacceptable. There has been a movement in the past several years to censor other things like beliefs or ideas that might cause a change in society - things, which the first amendment of the U.S. constitution was designed to protect. I have been thinking about writing this for several months now and I think that now is the time. The recent California court ruling that the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional is (to me anyway) an open attack on not just Christianity, but any religion that has a "god" figure as its basis, this is an attack on the first amendment rights of all Americans as well - a serious dejavu for many back to the school prayer battle. I know you're thinking church and state church and state- that is a major load of crap, this government was founded on the basis that there was some sort of deity that was out there floating around, so I know that God is not God to everyone but for those of us who believe in Him can you kindly keep your mouths closed or - better yet go start your own country. Keep your atheistic self out of my life and my country. I'm ticked and pressed for time, so this sounds very calloused and blunt but hey, if I don't make someone think about this then my goal of swaying opinions is lost and I have just wasted my time.
