Does "Under God" belonge in the pledge

<< < (3/4) > >>

Suffice:
I say it duznt belong there, because, firstly, many people are atheist this country, and also because the words "Under god", which were added about 50 years ago to the pledge, are out of context in the sentece. They just stuck it in there. Why is our nation "under god"? is it? i think our nation thinks we're better thang god. I think "One Nation, Indivisible..." is a better way to inspire patriotism in people. The cohesiveness of the country has nothing to do with religion

white Boy:
actually i said no, but trauma makes a great point, this nation IS under god, about 90% of people living here belive in a god... theres no athiast presidents, congresman, mayors, governers.... ect... so this nation runs under god... but just adding it in is unecassary

Suffice:
na, people go to church cuz they have no lives and they meet their "Friends" there on sundays. They belive is going to church, not GOD. 90 percen seems a little high of a number. NOw tell me, how many people pray at least once a week? I bet it woulndt be higher than 30%. THe "under god" part of the pledge of allegiance was added during the "religious revival" sort of things during the 50's when all women stayed at home, cooked, cleaned, and raised the kids.

Well, I can't speak for the Christians, but there are 10 million Muslims in this country, and Muslims pray 5 times a day.  The reason I'm awake at 5:00am in the morning on my day off is because I have a morning prayer I want to attend at the mosque. (Allah increases our reward if we pray in congregation, although it is just fine to pray alone)  We form lines or rows so close that the Shatan can't come between us and follow the imam in a ritual prayer of bowing, prostrating, and standing, that lasts several minutes.
