What does NBC have against God?

It’s just another bold push by a powerful organization to see how much push-back they will get. After all, the Media is Liberal—hence, anti-God—anti-Christianity. They don’t want to offend their darlings—the Atheists, the Muslims, and the LGBT community.

“So why is it that these liberals get so upset when they see or hear anything related to God, who they say they do not believe in?
Ask yourself, who is it that really hates God?”

As an old guy who has pondered this and observed people for a long time, I am now convinced that there is no one who does not realize that God is real. They know He exists, but for some reason they are angry or have hate for God, and so try to convince themselves and others that there is no God. Recognizing God in the Pledge of Allegiance is appropriate because the very existence of our governmental structure (as created by the Constitution) is absolutely dependent upon two things: honoring God and maintaining limited central government powers. The so called “progressives” have and continue to eliminate this foundation.

Atheists claim there is no God but if you scratch them deep enough you will find a God Hater .

Satan. Your comment has strength and should not have potential to be discounted by misspelling of the last word.

Satin? What does a soft fabric have anything to do with this?

Atheists too have a God, and it is the person they see in the mirror. In order to continue to rule their own lives, and not get dethroned by the truths which set men free, but get atheists real ,,,, they must first Kill conscience in order to silence the very vehicle which God speaks his truths to them. In the end when faced with the reality of their own death, they usually go out kicking and screaming, then choking on their own self-destructive cancerous vomitus words in death, that they lived by in life. Exit Madalyn Murray O’Hare, Christopher Hitchens and others, compared to the exits I have personally witnessed, of many of my own Christian family members who left these early bonds with a believing smile on their face, and the love of God in their hearts, and the reassuring peace which exceeds all human understanding. Just pity the people of MSNBC, for the chains they forge in life, they make word by word, link by link, and yard by yard and they gird it on of their own free will, and of their own free will they wear it. And will carry it into the next world as well. It is why they live in this world and enter the next with such heavy hearts, and heavy burdens. Good luck with that NBC and MSNBC Liberals.

The Left is subjugated by their ideology . There is no room for God in the mind of a Statist because the State is the final arbiter of all temporal power . The State is an organ of force and coercion in the affairs of man and the State answers to no one but man . Therefore Man is god .

I agree with you! There really isn’t anything on NBC that I can’t “live without.” I rarely watch them now, and this would be a good reason NOT to watch them at all!

This pledge omission is nothing compared to Saturday Night Live’s skits this past December. Notice that they don’t have the courage to Muslims in similar fashion.

I have to defend them, in part, since their website clearly has the Trailer on it now which includes the words “under God”. I just listened to it carefully –

You are right, and MeTV, Antenna TV, Cozi, etc. along with a few others are about all I watch these days.

Other than the blacklist, nothing else they show do i watch.

I am also old enough to remember when the two words, “under God” were inserted into the pledge. It was back in the early 1950’s when the country was in a tizzy over the question of who was, or was not, secretly a Communist. The Pledge of Allegiance was amended with the goal in mind to watch others in a group and see which ones would say “under God” and which ones would refuse to say those two words.

It was believed by the people who changed the Pledge that Communists would refuse to say those two words, but true patriotic Americans would be willing to say them. Well, I’m a patriotic American, not a Communist, so I say the two extra words. But they never have felt natural, like the pledge was when I first started school and recited it daily and memorized it.

Now, the question of “with” or “without” the added two words has become a religious test of who believes in God and who does not. That is a very painful topic to me because of the punishments I endured as a child for expressing my doubts that every word in the Bible is literally true. I never could manage to believe that God created the world in a total of six days.

So if given the choice, I would rather return to the Pledge as originally written. I always feel as if my character is being judged by others in the room if I don’t say “under God” but saying those two words always brings back such painful memories.

I don’t know who Arthur Clarke is or why he should be worthy of quoting, but it would be absolutely irrational to NOT recognize God. If, somehow, all that exists came into being without a creator with a plan and a purpose, then your very existence is meaningless.

Recognizing God in the Pledge of Allegiance is appropriate because the very existence of our governmental structure (as created by the Constitution) is dependent upon two things: honoring God and maintaining limited central government powers. The so called “progressives” have and continue to eliminate this foundation.

You are correct that “under God” was inserted into the pledge, but incorrect as to the reason. It was done during the Cold War scare of the 1950’s and the purpose was to differentiate between American political philosophy rooted in theism and the inalienable rights of nature’s God, from Communist political philosophy rooted in man’s nature and no god. Your claim that belief in God is irrational is not only incorrect, it is absurd. Arthur Clarke’s statement is his opinion, which he is free express.

It would be VERY interesting to see your response on Judgement day, when you face your maker-no matter what deity you believe in.
It “appears” you are an atheist. Your choice, your call. But let me ask you this:
With ALL the star’s in OUR Galaxy we can see with the Hubble, And allowing for just 5 planets per star, AND knowing that we can see at least TWO universes with the present technology (the Hubble IS 20+ years old.) That means mathematically, there are over 500 MILLION planets “out there.” And in all this VAST area, 1. There MUST be “life” at least as developed as us stupid humans, out there SOMEWHERE. And, 2.Some “being” or entity made IT. It sure as hell wasn’t US!
You may continue with your belief…but I think, for the above reasons…your WRONG! It’s not going to hurt me one bit believing in a Supreme being!

First off, your quote differs in several ways from the one I found:

“Religion is the most malevolent of all mind viruses. Most malevolent and persistent of all mind viruses. We should get rid of it as quick as we can.”

In particular, your second sentence is utterly different from anything he said.

Second, the phrase goes back to Lincoln’s Gettysburg address: “…we here highly resolve…that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.” While some drafts omit “under God,” the only one with Abraham Lincoln’s signature includes it, and the news reports of the speech included it.

What “force”?

You are not required to acknowledge God—you are not required to recite the pledge of allegiance—and you certainly aren’t required to live here if you’re made to feel so unwelcome.

You aren’t being forced into anything—you have a choice—cut the drama.

TO arwenusa: FYI, NBC is primarily owned by the Comcast Corp.which is primarily owned by the Roberts Family,Julian Brodsky, Daniel Aaron and others.

Might be a lot more TRUTH to your comment then I would like!

“But the Muslim religion is a “peaceful” religion”-Your “Commander-In-Chief” for the last SIX years.

And you can bet the exec’s there wouldn’t have an issue with that.
