The Pledge Of Allegiance.
What do you think?

It's a great interpretation.
It's amazing how people get all bent out of shape with "Under God" being in the Pledge. Somehow "Under God" violates the Establishment Clause of the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution? Congress "established" a religion by adding those words? It's so sad it's funny.
Those who argue that "Under God" should be removed from the Pledge, "In God We Trust" from our money, and any other thing must realize that every document that lays out the foundation of our country has some sort of reference to a creator. Surely they should argue that those documents are in violation of the Establishment Clause! Wait, the the U.S. Constitution would violate itself!
Sorry, Persnickety...didn't mean to rant in answering your question. It IS a great question, though.

Yes, satisfaction is among the seven lethal sins, if you are catholic. To a protestant, they are all lethal. However, if you are catholic, then your used to surrogate symbols within the church and could don't have any issues. Don't salute the flag. That is a sign of appreciate from a navy guy. If you have not served, you'll be able to most effective embarass your self. God on no account as soon as instructed you to not pledge your self an best friend to any person. We pledge our allegiance to the flag to reaffirm our patriotism, and record our values. The republic, God, cohesion, liberty, justice for all; are all at the record. Because there's no distinct god being prayed to (one is recounted, but it surely nonetheless is not a prayer to him), it is not idolatry. If you have been to start asking the flag for matters, or speakme to it anticipating an reply, then it could be idolatry- or loopy. One of the ones.

Yes, I'm familiar with it. Unfortunately, today, there is one small modification that should be made.
...And to the Republic, for which it stands, one nation, indivisible...
is no longer quite accurate. It needs to be placed in the past tense. "For which it STOOD" would be more accurate. We have been divided by Liberal ranting about Conservative excesses, if that makes sense. Our Liberty has been curtailed by overbearing laws in every area of our lives, yet we only complain about the restrictions on terrorist attackers. Go figure. And Justice? That' only available to those with the bankroll to pay for it. It's a nice thought, but a bit dated.
