And yet we have the 'one nation under God' in our *pledge of allegiance. American politics has a complicated relationship with religion.
ftfy

And only since the Fifties. And then pretty much because USSR was officially nationally atheistic. If USSR was a theocracy, they'd probably add 'one nation in no way under any possible specific God, totes' instead.
You're saying America needs to go to war with Iran to get it out of the pledge?
Probably not, considering some people think the Christian God and the Islamic God are two different entities. Now, if it was with the Vatican, maybe it'd be different.

The NZ national anthem is pretty direct about God. I think most Western countries do. Bloody Romans.

E: Yeah, the title is "God Defend New Zealand". Kinda sad that our military's that poor.

I'll go check, actually. I can't actually remember the darn thing.

At any rate, the federal government isn't under anything and the person or persons who added the line about god to the pledge was a traitor.

Some girl smashed through my laptop cord in class.  The cord was ripped out of the laptop, and from the wallsocket.  And that's no easy task; those buggers are snug fits.

So, after tearing into my electronics, she apologizes loudly and takes up the class time until I demand she gives it back.  She bent the metal, and I'm sure there's more damage too.  I had to fiddle with it a but to even get it to go back into the hole.

 . . . bitch.

No, they were a red-blooded patriot of the highest order. They put the line in to stick it to the godless commies.

That doesn't make it any less seditious.

It's not seditious until high-ranking government officials start selling state secrets to God, and as an immortal transcendent being I don't think God has much of a use for Top-Secret files and troop dispersion orders.

Well, seeing as God is omniscient and most likely has no security clearance, someone has to be to blame for him knowing these secrets.

Personally, I blame wikileaks for leaking that knowledge to God.

So we can confirm that God possesses both highly valuable information pertaining to America's national security (And everything else about America besides) and highly dangerous WMDs which He is not afraid to use, as proven by His terrorist attacks on Sodom and Gommorrah. This means that a terrorist capable of destroying everything we hold dear is capable of executing an attack on America that our mathematicians confirm would be 9/11 times Pearl Harbor multiplied by a bazillion.
This means that the American government has full reason to invade Heaven.
Gentleman, it is time to begin the War on God.
