oh my god this is dumb. the goverment is trying to remove the "Under God" part in the pledge of alegance. this is b.s. this country was built on religion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
First of all, it's not "the government" doing this. Members of congress, even the President is outraged at this judge's decision. I doubt it'll hold up. I have no opinion on the matter. |
||||||||

Um, you are aware that the original pledge did not have the words under god? It was "one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all", congress voted to add under god in 1954. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not like they are taking something out that was in the original pledge as part of some modern politically correct movement. They never should have added those words in the first place. |

im personally happy they are geting rid of it. i dont beleive in god, so why should i recognize his presense? and whats with "in god we trust" on our money thats totaly bullshit too fucking christians... just trying to spread christianity in every way possible... even when its clearly against the constitution |

These are the following inanimate objects I recite mantras to on a regular basis: rocks furniture piecies of cloth attatched to the top of sticks You should hear my rock mantra... It kicks the pledge of allegance's ass. |

zeus im ashamed of u...a Christian country should not change for the benefit of any non christians living within....trying to change how we beleive, they should keep their religions (or cynisism about religion) to themselves and let the rest of us worship as a nation, we shuld be proud of who we are.....ok so im mostly talking about the uk there but it still applys for the usa, leave the Under God in! |

no way man america is about equal oppertunnities for all. it was made to be a haven for whoever wanted to come. for this reason, we decided to seperate church and state, so people wouldnt have conflicting views that caused turmoil. the idea to seperate church and state is a wonderful one... but because the people in high places at the time, and today, are mostly christians. America was not established to be a christian state... it just turned out that way. |

Too all off you: Sorry that aBrit has to point it out, but the "In God we trust" and the eye-pyramid on US money are actually jewish, not Christian. Bob: I agree, the point of a democracy is that it panders to the majority of people in it. In the US about 74% of the pop. claim to be Christians, therefore it should be a country that uses Christian values etc. |

off = of, sorry :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont think so...74% is a lot but 26% out of 250 millions is a lot too... I mean why a jewish or a musulman have to stand that...if you are a plural country then its better not to pronounce on one single religion... all the popullation must be represented, so you ve got to find values that represent everybody |

sorry if this doenst make much sence but-i beleive in God and i feel everyone should worship Him weather u beleive or not becuase he made you.... although if the usa is an 'equal oppertunities' nation, then i guess religion and state should be kept seperate... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, well even if it IS jewish.. (although i was totaly unaware of that... and rather skeptical...) i still dont need to have religious content... even from judism on my money. and yes there is the majority... but it doesnt mean it should be a part of the government. theres is no reason for it. so 70% is christian... who cares? they can pray and practice it on their own time just like everyone else. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm i guess there should be more jewish things in america, after all there are more jews in the usa than in the rest of the world put together |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, see... thats just your belief... i think there is no such thing as god. exactly why it shouldnt be part of the goverment... because we both have our beliefs, and beleifs dont change. too much fighting comes from it...and it goes no where. its better just to not even go there. |

i agree with zues that the christian religion is shoved down peoples throats a lot and there's to many christian specials and shit on tv but still i don't see anything wrong with saying under god. besides i think people who don't believe in god shouldn't have a voice in this country (no offense zues). |

as far as god goes, visit www.me_own.blogspot.com as far as taking god out of the country, it is unconstitional to have religion and government mixed, so it should be removed. |

Some of the founding fathers of the USA (Jefferson, Franklin, a few more I can't remember) were not Christian, but Deist. People conveniently forget this sometimes. Deists aren't atheists, however - they believe in a Creator. I support removing the words. They shouldn't have been added in the first place. |

"i think people who don't believe in god shouldn't have a voice in this country" What a coincidence, I think people like you shouldn't have a voice, period. (Or any other means of communication to spread your ignorant ideas) |

all you guys prolly think i'm some religion freak now and i'm gonna say now that i'm not some holy roller and i realize that what i said in the earlier post is kind of ignorant and offends a lot of people. so just ignore it considering i should be a whole lot open minded about religions and you guys have just as much voice as me if not more. |

Christianity is the biggest crock of shit since John Edwards. I was raised as a Catholic in America. And I must say, this country was NOT built on religion, and it never should be. Organized religion is the biggest downfall of this planet. Religion should be personal, make it whatever you want, and DONT impose it on other people (That INCLUDES your own children). "...a Christian country should not change for the benefit of any non christians living within....trying to change how we beleive, they should keep their religions (or cynisism about religion) to themselves and let the rest of us worship as a nation, we shuld be proud of who we are.....ok so im mostly talking about the uk there but it still applys for the usa, leave the Under God in! " This is fine for the UK, because I dont really know what goes on there, so I cant say anything about that. But here in the USA this is NOT a christian country (no matter how many christians are living here) and our laws should not change to accommodate the religious people (although our laws do). Thats bullshit. Christianity will never rule the world and it shouldn't. ___________________________ "besides i think people who don't believe in god shouldn't have a voice in this country " What the fuck!? Do you hear what you are saying. Are you actually listening to the garbage you are spewing out? Correct me if I'm wrong but you are basically saying: If i'm not religious, I should have no say in how this country runs itself. If this is correct: Go fuck yourself If i'm wrong: I'm sorry. |
