So, if someone has an illegitimate child, or swears, or drinks, or robs a bank, it doesn't mean that he doesn't consider himself a Christian and cannot be an accepted member of the church.

I agree. However not all churches are alike. The ones that I went to doesnt even care what you been doing or who you are. They want to know what you are going to do with your life in the future. No one is perfect. As far as I am concern (and most of the church) no is outside forgivness. I say most of the church cause i actually went to a school where they believe that some things people did were unforgivable. Not true!!!!! Drinking, smoking,......doesnt make you NOT a christian. It is sad how some religious people dont get that.


Like I said, take 'under God' out. Quite frankly it is up to each citizen. If it does get taken out, people can still put it in. If it stays in, people can take it out. It is just a matter of being official. Still what difference would it make. Do what you want!
