It wasn't in the origianl pledge. It was only added the last time the Republicans ran everything. Take it out. One Nation, Indivisable.

Default well

i voted no, but i didnt know it wasnt in the original pledge. i guess then, maybe it should be taken out. But, my arguement for keeping is that for tradition's sake, and that the people who got this whole thing started were atheists, and what percentage of the population is atheist, maybe 10%? Why should the majority who want it have to take a back seat to the minority. sounds like a republican arguement, but i want to assure you that i do have a backbone

Default I voted to leave it in.

It doesn't matter either way. I can thank God and say it if I want to anyway. So go ahead and take it out or leave it in. God is there no matter what they do.

Default Not Looking So Good For the Athiest

BTW, I just heard some of the questioning by the SC Justices today. And right now, I'd say it doesn't look so good for Mr. Newdowel (sp). I think he's going to be blown out of the water.

And what's so ridiculous about this man is that he doesn't have custody of this little girl he is using. And her mother AND the little girl are not a part of this guy's quest....and do not support him.

He reminds me of some sourpuss that isnt' happy in his life...and wants everybody else to be as unhappy as he is.

Default Yes...

I don't believe in a God, the God, or the idea of God in general, why should I pledge that this nation is under something I believe does not exist. Like ThereseM said, people who believe in God can thank God or pray to God silently. US supposedly guarantees religous freedom, including the freedom to denounce religion.

Also, why are foreigners going to American schools required to recite the pledge of allegiance? They aren't US citizens, why should they pledge allegiance to the US?
