Under god in the pledge of Allegiance.?

Question

Do you think "Under God needs to be romoved from the pledge, i mean, the world was formed by god, hence America was formed "Under God"

Answer 1

No it needs to stay. The founding fathers of this country based everything on christian teachings, that is why we have so many freedoms, that is why it is illegal to kill someone and so on. I don't even think its a question

Answer 2

Your logic is fool proof. Seriously though, reread you American History. The original pledge did not have "under god" in the text. It was added in 1953 by the Eisenhower administration to give Americans something to hold against the atheist communist hordes that were soon to invade Anystreet USA. It was a political ploy by a religious conservative to push religion on the Leave it to Beaver generation of the early 50s. It should be removed because the pledge states that there is a presence of a god or deity. As the constitution clearly states that the US government should not make any endorsement of a specific religion, using the phrase violates the constitution. I personally do not say the pledge, or stand or cover my heart or that other boy scout stuff because I feel that the pledge is unethical to its citizens. Still, having children become indoctrinated with the phrase is wrong and I wish it to be removed.

Answer 3

The word Under God was once further to the pledge in 1954 as a reaction to the upward push of communism. The fashioned writer Francis Bellamy was once a Batpist Minister and he did not wish the peldge to be a devout one, however a pledge to the country. Members of his loved ones have, for a long time fought to have the pledge restored to is fashioned wording given that they felt the additions of the word "Under God" undermines the spirit of the pledge, which was once supposed to unify ALL peoples residing right here as Americans, regardless or race, creed or faith.

Answer 4

'Under God' was added to the pledge by Congress, after some decades of not having it in there. I don't see the necessity for it [and I'm a Christian conservative].

It is about a pledge of loyalty to the Republic. You can say 'under God' or not say it as you will. But let's not force anybody to say it one way or the other - that would be wrong.

Answer 5

saxmofone is correct, it is a recent addition to the pledge.
i read about the pledge's autor's children saying he would have been appalled that they added "under God" to his pledge, he was a borderline athiest, apparently, and they felt it inappropriate, but they had a more personal interest than basically anyone else.

Answer 6

Say it if you want. Don't say it if you don't want to.

No body, including the idiots at the aclu, has the right to tell me I can't say "one nation under God" or "in God we trust" or "God bless America" or any other reference to God, whether I'm in a school or on the public airways or in a government building.

Answer 7

I think it is a disgrace to remove "under God" from the pledge. Our founding fathers founded this nation on God's principles.

Answer 8

Not everyone belives that God made the world. But I don't think it really matters just leave it be. If people are offended by it they are to sensitive anyway.

Answer 9

The U.S. Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to practice his or her religion. You can pray in school or read the Bible there if you want to. You can also say whatever you want to about God in school, at work, anywhere.

Answer 10

Freedom of speach, if I want to belive in God and everything under him, I should be able to say so.

Answer 11

NO WAY! Who ever don't like God in our country, should go back where they come from!!
