And here I thought it was pretty clear that the basis for his authority is the constitution, not in scripture.

In the country where kids have to pledge allegiance to "one Nation under God" in school?

When a conservative talks about God, just remember that money is his god.

God is just a picture of that same conservative, with a beard and sitting in a cloud.

Do any schools still do that? I guess maybe in the south. Ohio stopped doing it a long time ago.
