The "Jesus, I give you my all, my everything, I give you all that I am" prayer is a promise to God, same thing with the Mary stuff. But saying the pledge of allegiance does not sit well with me spiritually, as the pledge focuses on worldly stuff, not spiritual stuff.

But hey, you do you.

Major Update: So guys, I have made my decision to not partake in the Knights.

The guy told me that the Knights pledge* to the flag before every meeting at the local chapter. I will not pledge, as it goes against Matthew 5:34.

*Matthew 5:34: "But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne".

The pledge for the flag reminds me of this 1919-1933 pledge the Germans had to say.

1919-1933 pledge:
"I swear loyalty to the Reich's constitution and pledge, that I as a courageous soldier always want to protect the German Reich and its legal institutions, (and) be obedient to the Reich President and to my superiors."

But hey, people have freedom to pledge, but pledges and oaths should ideally stay out of religious organizations, just as the woke crud (from the far-left) should stay far away from schools and churches.

You do you. For me, I stick to Matthew 5, and do not pledge oaths to worldly stuff, especially when the government in 2024 is ungodly.
