[GCFL-discuss] I led the pigeons...

I like this practice.  Sounds like one we all could practice to keep His name holy.

Good question Layne, I figured someone would ask.
Siarlys, that was a good guess.
 
We (Orthodox Jews) treat His Name as holy, and must avoid profaning it or destroying it.  When holy books, such as Bibles, prayer books, etc, get worn out, they have to be buried.
It does not matter what language it is in.
To utter G-d's Name in an unclean place (I.e., a bathroom) or to write it on a paper which will be discarded would violate this law. 
I keep a small prayer book in my pocket.  When I enter a bathroom, I remove it.
To avoid inadvertently violating this, we never say or write the Name in informal conversation or writings.
Writing it on a computer screen probably does not violate the law, but habits are habits.

Siarlys and Nameless

Was it Patrick Henry who said, "I disagree with everything you say, but I'll
fight to the death for your right to say it"?

I disagree with much of what you say, but I am usually impressed by the
clarity and perspective with which you express it.

I don't think the Supreme court acted out of humility but out of cowardice.
Such humility would be misplaced.

Regarding your second amendment objection, the "under G-d" clause solves it.
It says that my pledge to the flag/country is secondary to my pledge to G-d.
