[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this whole thread makes me sad.  [/quote]

Me too, and I'm not some jingoistic "American! Fuck yeah!" asshole.

What's wrong with children reciting the pledge. Why on earth would it make you feel "uncomfortable?"[/quote]

If it were, "one nation, under Satan," would you be okay with your kids reciting it every day at school?[/quote]

No, because "God" and "Satan" stand for very different concepts.

For you, they stand for the same concept: "that which does not exist."

In reality, "God" stands for absolute Truth, Authority, Justice, and Right.  A concept without which we would have no United States, because, as the Declaration states, "We are endowed BY OUR CREATOR with certain INALIENABLE RIGHTS."

Remove an objective standard of right and wrong, as in God's own laws, and all you have is a jumble of opinions, with no real meaning or power.  No human rights.  Just atoms coming together and falling apart.

So you have the right to remain silent.  Because you are an American.  And because you are human, with free will to choose what to believe or not believe.  But the only reason you can even conceive of such concepts is because you were created in the image of God, with intellect and free will. [/quote]
