Okay, classic joke follows:
" So I go to bed with this atheist, and all night it's "Oh my non-
existent supreme being, OH MY NON-EXISTENT SUPREME BEING" and by
morning she's saying "There IS a God, THERE IS A GOD!"

I was discussing this yesterday with someone who took the tact that
they should simply refrain from saying the "under God" part, and it
was no big deal.
I suggested we eliminate the "under God" part and religious persons
could simply add it, and all of a sudden it was a big deal.
