Journal npsimons's Journal: zcat /usr/share/state/us-constitution.gz | grep -i god 3

zcat /usr/share/state/us-constitution.gz | grep -i jesus

Hmm, no results for that one either. One more before I give up:

zcat /usr/share/state/us-constitution.gz | egrep -i "creat|divin|christ"

No results for that one either.

      Not Jehovah, nor Yahweh, nor Jesus H. Christ. Not the Virgin Mary or Angel Gabriel or any other religious figure.

      They chose "Columbia" because it was NOT associated with religion, or any "supreme deity". These were some pretty bright guys and they

      • Yep, but in so doing, they associated the United States with a new religion.

        Which bugs the heck out of me. Makes my brain have to do all sorts of mental gymnastics to stay true to Catholicism and patriotic.
