And I query, again -- If GOD were not 'of the physical realm' why did he create & form MAN in HIS own image with "flesh"

The reason why people do not always obey God is not because He is not physical. Actually, He is physical---He became physical when He became Incarnate as Jesus Christ. People do not always obey God because people have free will.

So please name me someone, somewhere in Catholic Europe, that was stoned to death for saying that animals have intelligence, during tge Middle Ages, roughly 500-1500 a.d.

It all sounds great, except for the fact that our pledge wasn’t written until until 1892.  Yes, you read that correctly, our Pledge of Allegiance was written a full 116 years after the Revolutionary War and Declaration of Independence.

Not only that, but the phrase “Under God” wasn’t even in the original text of our pledge:
“I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

And it gets better.  The author of our pledge was Francis Bellamy – a Christian socialist.  He stood for workers rights and believed in an equal distribution of economic resources.  He believed in the nationalization of certain industries, because he feared their manipulation and corruption in the hands of a private sector which would put profits before people.

So a Christian, a minister at that, wrote the pledge – yet didn’t include the word “God” or “Christian” – and  he was a socialist. 

In 1923, more text was added to our pledge:
“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
So, 31 years after its origination, our pledge still didn’t contain the phrase “under God.”

In fact, it wasn’t until 1954 that the phrase “under God” was actually added to our pledge, in a response to the threat of communism.

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

So it wasn’t until 62 years after its creation that “under God” was added to our pledge.

Then let’s not forget that the only reference to religion in our Bill of Rights is in our First Amendment, which states:

“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.”

The word Christianity doesn’t appear even once in our Constitution.

So when these people proudly boast about our nation being a “Christian nation” or that we were a nation founded “under God,” they don't know the true facts.

The more they press the issue, the more they say liberals are simply making all of this up, the more they continue to insist this country was founded on Christianity and use our currency or pledge as proof…

The more they display their ignorance of our history and prove that they would rather believe a lie than know the truth.

Matthew 6:5-15King James Version (KJV)

5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

In spite of your protestations the catholic religion is not true, it is in fact "a man made false religion" built on lies and simple falsehoods.

I'm glad to her you say that, FJO, but that is not the pholosophy of eugenics.

Some are looking for truth. Others are looking for gotcha.

I don't want to control the universe. Controlling the dispatch board at work is enough work for me.
