If were going to change/stop using the Pledge of Allegiance because it says "under God"?

I whole heatedly agree that the uproar over the phrase is ridiculous.

The people who get their tidy-whiteys in a bunch over this do have one leg to stand on, and that's that the original pledge didn't include the phrase "under God. It was added sometime in the fifties. OK, 1954 to be exact.

There are some religions that don't believe in pledging allegiance to anything or anybody but God. For them, pledging allegiance to a flag is asking them to do something their Bible version says is just plain sinful.

the last time i checked i was an American and according to the bill of rights i have freedom of speech and will use under god no matter what. i am 65 yrs. old and fed up with all this hoop la about the usesage of religious speech in schools and not being able to post the ten commandments on federal government property, that property is public real estate that we pay for, if the religious language offends you don't look at it! i don't particularly like looking at pornagraphic magazines on the news stands so i don't look at them.

Nobody will stop doing anything because it says "God" because most people in America look for success. They most likely will though change "Under God" but they're only planning this because as you know America is freedom of religion...

I doubt it. They;ve already started to emove the IN GOD WE TRUST by taking it off the new coin dollar. I will not be one to accept that coin. Many of our problems now are because we keep allowing people to remove standards of what this country was build on..

You know what I find ludicrous?

Even if God isn't real, what difference does it make? I mean if the thought that God is real makes everyone a better person and serve their country better, why change things?

I believe in God, by the way.

AMERICA IS SO WEAK IN THAT AREA THAT IT TRIES TO SHOW STRENGTH IN OTHER AREAS. Cannot defend its belief in God. Has it tail between is legs running scare from a bunch of atheists.

Why not follow Australia's example???

maybe they should give all the american dollars to me, that would show them :P

Nope they want because it is easier to talk rather then act.....

as much as i love america, it makes no sense.
