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.

I agree completely!! However, I am a total Mt. Dew addict... So staying away from all Pepsi products may be a bit hard for me!

Let me tell you somthing, we live in a diverse country with many different cultures. As people migrate more often (and it has been happening more often today than ever before) they bring along their own sets of religious and moral ideas, if someone who was, say, a Buddhist, bought a can of Pepsi with the words "under god" on it, he might feel a little offended and be able to sue because of free speech, yet Pepsi has the power to print anything that isnt vulgar in todays society. In the end it all boils down to the first amendment paradox, allowing both situations to take place.

The original pledge read " I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all", with no mention of God. The words 'under God' were added in 1954, after much lobbying by various religious groups. And what possible difference can it make in the larger scheme of things anyway?

FALSE. A myth that has been circulating for the past five years, ever since Dr. Pepper screwed up.

That allegation never had one bit of truth to it, yet many "Christians" are boycotting Pepsi for something that never happened and never will happen.
Don't believe everything you read. BTW, "under God" wasn't added to the Pledge until 1954.

Oh SNAP! Heresy!
I'm Christian, seriously, I worship the Lord, Jesus Christ. But still, I'm not going to let such a trivial issue affect what I drink. If they choose not to put "Under God" on there, then so be it. I'll still drink it. Does "Under God" change the flavour?

I am not anti-America but obligatory reciting of the Pledge of Alligence does not sound very American. Communist schools have done thigns very similar.

Did they include the "one nation, invisible" part?

i wouldn't buy it because it has the pledge of allegiance on it, not because they didn't mention that imaginary being.
