Pledge Banner Michael Newdow's Daughter a Christian

Chuck Smith, Calvary Chapel

[SkunkPunk]

Last night I attended Calvary Chapel in Fountain Valley, home of Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the original Calvary Chapel. He told us that Michael Newdow's daughter is a born again Christian and attends a Calvary Christian school. Mr. Newdow was the atheist who brought the Pledge of Allegiance ban lawsuit to court claiming his daughter's rights were violated because of a reference to God in the pledge. Chuck Smith was told of this through a sister Calvary Chapel and got a hold of his contacts in the media. The daughter will now appear on the Today show later this week to denounce her fathers lawsuit. Calvary will release this information to the press later today.

That's hilarious. Of course, this fact won't be picked up by the < ahem > "unbiased" media.

Wait, from my understanding the girl is in 2nd grade. I highly doubt she can speak about religion one way or another at that age. Also, as bad as the media is I doubt they would interview a girl that young. Where am I wrong?

[mlo]

Thats funny. The ruling says she is a second grader.

Art Linkletter made living for years interviewing childern under 6 live on National TV. My problem may be that I think CBS is part of the media.

A second-grader is headed to national teevee to "denounce" her father??

As hypersensitive as this guy is, no one should pit his own daughter against him, expecially in public.

Might she have been in second grade when the suit was filed and much older now that it has been ruled on?

[SkunkPunk]

Hey, what can I say, I heard it from Chuck himself...he mentioned the mother is also Christian so I would think she's going to accompany her daughter on the show. He also said the Newdows are separated...big surprise.

He told us that Michael Newdow's daughter is a born again Christian and attends a Calvary Christian school.

Not so fast. This is hearsay only, and it is typical of the kinds of rumors that, if you've been on the 'net very long, you ought to recognize.

If this were true, BELIEVE ME, the press would have picked up on it, because it represents CONTROVERSY, which they dearly love.

[Illbay]

Is she NOW in the Second Grade? Or is that her age when her father filed the suit?

[EggsAckley]

This guy was after one thing: his debut on CNN playing his guitar and singing his stupid white-man-blues song. What a phony! Kudos to his daughter for exposing him.

Michael Newdow's daughter is a born again Christian and attends a Calvary Christian school.

Born again? I thought she was in 2nd grade? What does 'born again' mean anyway? Don't you have to have been a christian, lost the faith and then returned before you can be 'born again'? Or is "born again" just being baptised again? I'm confused.

Let's see "skunkPunk" - member since July 1st, 2002...

apparently that "wait a few days till you can post" rule is no more....

[SkunkPunk]

Thanks for the welcome. I feel RIGHT at home.

The suit did not take 10+ years. Either he has a second daughter or this information is bogus.

[phasma proeliator]

Exactly - until something better than "I heard it myself" from a newbie happens - this is pure B.S.

[JennysCool]

Um...when was that rule enacted?

[ican'tbelieveit]

"Born again" means to be born again spiritually, as your first birth is into the flesh.

[nmh]

I'd bet he is pissed as hell that his daughter is a Christian and lead up to this idiotic move on his part. He wants to lash out at everyone. It's not unusual to see an atheist be so jealous of Christians because their life is so empty and unhappy.

[phasma proeliator]

Let's see...

I vote for "bogus".
