Reaffirming "Under God"
On June 26, a three-judge panel on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Michael Newdow, a father who claimed the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance harmed his daughter.
Congress immediately reacted with near-unanimous votes to reaffirm the reference to "one Nation under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. The Senate voted 99 to 0 (S. 2690, Senate Roll Call Vote 166).
The House approved a similar resolution 416 to 3 with 11 voting present (House Roll Call Vote 273). The House took up the Senate-passed measure in October, and the President signed it into law on November 13.
As it turns out, the daughter and her mother believe in God. ![[Big Clap]](graemlins/clap2.gif) ![[Smile]](graemlins/youpi.gif)

Our Eschatology may vary even our Ecclesiology may be disputed among us but our Soteriology most assume a singularity and exclusivity which in biblical term is known as Quote; "The Narrow Way" and Quote!
