If not, why not? Hasn't God had a long enough turn? We'll do Vishnu next. Hell, it will be wild when we get to the Satanists, but at least it will be fair then. Or we could do like those boring loser atheists want and just take that one religion (and it's creation mythology) out of public school. NO FUN!

I am a Christian. Here are the problems I have with the pledge of allegiance.
1. Regarding the "under God" part, we shouldn't cause people to say things that don't believe.
2. We don't give liberty and justice to all.
3. We are pledging our allegiance to both the country and the flag. We shouldn't pledging our allegiance to a flag.

first and optimal, toddlers at the instant are not required to recite the pledge. Even right here in Texas, the reddest of crimson states (and not basically through this drought), pupils are asked yet no longer required to assert it. I certainly have objectors of a number of faith backgrounds on a on an accepted basis foundation. Muslims, atheists and Jehovah's Witnesses alike do no longer take section and there is no longer something that a instructor or administrator can do approximately it. apart from, the Pledge of Allegiance isn't a prayer. basically because of the fact the words "under God" are in it does no longer make it so. it truly is a pledge; an confirmation to shield the rustic, it truly is symbols and what it stands for. As such, it truly is against the pledge to berate or belittle people who exercising their loose speech by using figuring out directly to no longer recite it, inspite of the undeniable fact that it is likewise against the easy rights to no longer permit pupils who desire to specific their love of u . s . to realize this.

It has as much right as "under God" to be in the Pledge of Allegiance. Really, no religion should be favored, according to the First Amendment. "God" is the English Christian deity's name, and zealots cannot hide it. In France, he's "Dieu"; in Germany, he's "Gottes"; etc. The Pledge was first published in 1892. Eisenhower wanted "under God" added in 1954. It was fine without it for 62 years, and it should be removed now. It could take all day to say all of the many deities' names to be fair...and it still wouldn't be fair to people who believe in none. Let people say their pledges in their churches but leave all deities out of it in public schools.

This nation wasn't founded by Muslims. Why the noodlestick would we do that. To be honest, if you have a problem with God and you are in the US, your in the wrong Country, like it or not this is God's Country! Yes the Indians were here first, if you want to bring that up, but who took this Country from Tents, to Skyscrapers? Yeah buddy, we did.

Technically we should say Allah.....that would encompass Muslim, Jew and even though they don't know it, Christians. Allah, simply means God of Abraham in Aramaic.
It is amazing how people don't know who they worship and you are right when it comes to Satan's turn there would be mass riot. Do people still worship Baal? Got to give him a fair shot too.... :)

Hey, why don't we just take them all and put them in it? Every figure from every religion, take an hour before classes each day to say the pledge of alligiance. It's still be better than not saying it though, because it means sooooooo much and if you don't say it you're not a true American. *rolls eyes* They can pray in church or on their own time, school is for learning, not for worship.

If most of the students and teachers were Muslims, sure!
Schools should teach everything under the sun! Only it needs to be classified properly. And in science class we need to stick to scientific facts instead of mindlessly pushing Naturalism/Atheism/Evolution.
Have a worldviews class where they expose the students to ALL the religions and even showing the atheistic point of view. Let the students decide for themselves! Give them the freedom to choose the truth!

Allah means God in arabic, by the way. The same way Dieu means God in french.
How the hell is there two or three or four different Gods, that created the same friggin' place we all live in.
My God is not better than yours, because we are all God's children, no matter your religion.
In the end, it all boils down to the same, OUR FAITH IN GOD.
Different religions are simply different paths towards the same goal.
'allah is the god of the infidels'.....fckin ignorant.

No because of genesis chpt 11
But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6 The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."
8 So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel [c] —because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
