Good 1--Evil 0

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

[frmrda]

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.

[Guillermo]

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.

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.

[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.


BTW, Welcome to FreeRepublic

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.

[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.

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

Then why was the suit brought against the Elk Grove school district?

CPI Exclusive: Daughter, Mother: Leave God in the Pledge

[Clara Lou]

Hearsay.

[Ditto]

Newdow, who also has a law degree, was portrayed in some circles Wednesday as a radical bent on destroying the foundations of the country. But looking around his two-story house in an established subdivision near the border with Elk Grove, where his daughter will attend third grade this fall, nothing could be more American.

I think you are being scammed. I admit that I do not really understand what all the implications of the term "born again" but I can't begin to imagine how it could apply to an 8 year old child. No Christian denomination that I am aware of would consider a child below the age of reason capable of falling from God's grace and in need of being "born again."

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

If this is true, and she does not attend a public school, then -- as I doubted on another thread -- Dr. Newdow indeed lied to the court. This statement appears early in the Ninth Circuit's opinion: Newdow does not allege that his daughter's teacher or school district requires his daughter to participate in reciting the Pledge. Rather, he claims that his daughter is injured when she is compelled to "watch and listen as her state-employed teacher in her state-run school leads her classmates in a ritual proclaiming that there is a God, and that our's [sic] is 'one nation under God.'"

[spokanite]

Could it be that Newdow wanted his daughter to worship him instead of God? So, he does this as a way to get back at her and her mother.

Can you say sicko!

[rwfromkansas]

I am extremely confused? Does he have another daughter that is older?

Was this girl in 2nd grade at the time of the lawsuit's beginning and is now older?

I need more info here......this is very odd.

[cmsgop]

My Wife's Nephew attends Calvary , Chuck Smith was the Minister at her Mom's Wedding as well. This is so cool that he said that. He is a fantastic man IMHO....

[PaulKersey]

Must be the Mothers involvement. Someone said the name
Michael Newdow is probably Russian Jewish. ???

[Jn316]

Don't know if it's true or not, but it would be cool.

C.Smith is my pastor's, pastor's, pastor.

"...daughter will now appear on the Today show later this week to denounce her father's lawsuit..."

Will she go straight to the first Judge that she can find and sue to divorce herself from her parents ??
