[QUOTE="crazyfingers, post: 684298, member: 2707"] TheBear. A law specifies what will be the official pledge of allegiance for US citizens. That law creates an official pledge that takes a religious stand and says that we are all "under God". The government is making a religious statement that a God exists and that we are under it. By what right does the government presume to make that decision for everyone? The law is the law that specifies the pledge and that makes that religious decision for everyone. I'll ask you a question. Suppose that congress passed another law that changed the pledge to say "one nation under no God". Suppose then that public schools decided that they would have the kids say that every day, with the teacher leading the class. Your kids would have to say that this nation is "under no God"? They could refuse but every dat there is the teacher telling your kid that we are not a nation under God. Do you really think taht the government has the right to do that? [/QUOTE]
