Well, what can you do? People are flawed and will say all kinds of stupid things on occasion.

Thats an interesting quote but I have another more interesting one.

"The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." - George Washington

How about this...

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
-U.S. Constitution, 1st Amendment

Sounds to me like the governement cannot prevent anyone from practicing their religion, but that religion and law-making must remain separate.

That was great Zarn!
I never did understand why our Constitution, our Pledge, even our money has references to God, but no one wants our President, our schools, or our workplaces to have anything to do with him. It just seems strange to me that this country was based on religious freedom yet no one has it.
Its kind of hypocritical to me, that when JFK was running for office they were upset because he was Catholic but now they are complaining because Bush is Christian!

Because the 1st Amendment guarantees us religious freedom is precisely why there should be no references to God: Not every religion embraces a "God." We all have religious freedom, but why do certain religions have to be promoted in secular institutions above others? Now THAT is Unconstitutional.

That's all

I am quite cynical of this quote being true. Can you give me a link?

I think it is dangerous to clone humans as we might end up with several deformed individuals for every "perfect clones"

As a matter of fact, even Dolly and other cloned animals suffer from genetic defects and related diseases
