[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, when I was a kid, I didn't even notice the "under God" part. It was just words. I didn't think about the meaning until I was much older.

Now, the Lord's Prayer, which my first-grade teacher made us recite, I objected to strongly. (It was a Christian school but I am not Christian.) I finally had my mother say something to her to get me excused. Before that, if you didn't say either the prayer or the pledge, you had to march up to the front of the room and say them by yourself![/quote]

Then why on earth did you go to a Christian school?[/quote]

My mother taught there, so it was free for us kids. My family wasn't going to turn down a first-rate private school education that we otherwise could not have afforded.[/quote]

This seems to be recurring theme I am hearing: More and more people are resentful their parents chose low cost or free education Christian schools, specifically Catholic, provided either as a benefit to attract great teachers or scholarships to the needy. I received a free Catholic education.  My mom would not have accepted this benefit or charity from people who supported an institution she did not morally support. I am sorry your mom did that to you. [/quote]
