Dont buy the new pepsi cans. Pepsi came out with a new design with the Empire State Building on it and the Pledge Of Alligence. However they left out the most important part of the pledge. UNDER GOD. They did this because they didnt want to offend anyone. i think we should offend them by not purchaseing their products.

Hey Bush is trying to take God out of everything-get it! The axis of evil at work again why do you think he made everyone take down the ten commanments in every city and state and won't allow churches to talk about the one commanment that says thou shall not kill wonder why?

Did you not hear the part of the Ten Commandments that say "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour"
That's exactly when you are doing by spreading this crap and encouraging others to boycott Pepsi without taking the 10 minutes it would have taken to research it and discover that it is a LIE.
I hope you do the "Christian" thing and admit you're wrong, and maybe by a few cases of Pepsi to atone for your sin.

While I'm not a rah-rah American chauvinist nor an evangelical Chritian, I find it offensive that they would change this. I grew up reciting the Pledge, and remember when they added this in the fifties. I think it is in accordance with the spirit of the founding fathers.

I have to say that thoroughly offends ME.
What on earth were they thinking?
For those saying 'it wasn't added until the 50s', who is Pepsi to change what the pledge says NOW?

We need to start standing up to all this PC business in America and let these people know we have had enough of being afraid to offend somebody. This is our country and it's time to take it back.
I never liked Pepsi anyway.

The phrase "Under God" was not part of the original pledge, it was added by a politician trying to score a few points with the religious crowd.
It hardly qualifies as "the most important' part of the pledge.
The intent of the pledge is to state your allegiance and devotion to the country and it's ideals/principles. The placing of the words "Under God" where they are makes them a descriptive term, adjectives describing the nation. Thus even in sentence structure they are among the LEAST important parts of the pledge since nouns and verbs are considered necessary while adjectives are not.
This is all part of a silly debate, and since we humans do not seem to be able to debate religious issues intelligently and without pissing each other off we should all agree NOT to debate it.

The words "UNDER GOD" wasn't added into the Pledge of Allegiance until the 1950's. I don't know why it can't go back like it was during over 150 years! Why do they need the words? Isn't it suppose to be separation of Church and State anyway?

Let us remind ourselves, this whole conflict is based on religious beliefs. People forcing their beliefs on non-believers, and today, people killing each other because their belief is
Now, you want to boycott a product because a company decided to drop a phrase? I see a great irony. The United States of America belongs to everybody who believes in our style of government (not necessary the current government) and the values of freedom.

I'm not a carbonated sugar person anyway. It's not healthy drink so I don't really care.

Another right wing scare tactic perhaps part of the Great Coke Conspiracy?
