None
Never said that there was. If you read what the sentence said the subject refers to the "common defence".

This is what you said, so I don't know why are you denying it now:

The Constitution makes no reference nor should it for your or anyone elses sexual orientation. It does however provide for the common defense of one nation under God. Read it.

You never said that there was a reference to God in the Constitution? Then what do you call that underlined, bold italicized part of your quote at the top?

Also, just to be completely accurate, "common defence" is mentioned in the Preamble to the Constitution...which has no legal bearing at all.

All the Preamble does is set out what the Founding Fathers were attempting to do by creating the Constitution. The LEGAL ramifications of the Constitution start with Article I

Maybe she was referring the Preambles of every state in the union's constitutions.

That doesn't matter. The states cannot establish a religion even if they wanted to. Because they are subject to the Constitution and no state can legislate something that goes against it. It's been done, and it's been overturned.

That wasn't what my post was referring to.

You were referring to the state's Constitutions mentioning God. So what does that have to do with anything?

Right, not a word about 'God' in there!

It has to do with every individual state's constitution including the word "God", even if the Federal one didn't. "God" was on somebody's mind.
