If you didn't like the letter E would you not use it. If its American, and you claim to be American, then live like An American.
Well, since we said the pledge for 62 years without "under GOD" and have only been saying it for 56 years with "under GOD," I'd say that, based on those numbers, it's more "American" without "under GOD."
That makes as much sense as anything else...
Some around here are fond of saying we need to progress. Looks like 56 years ago we did. The courts say we still can. Some of you have God issues. Work them out without stepping on my Constitutional rights. Thanks.
I can't speak for others, but I can safely say that I have no "GOD issues." I have been nothing but respectful to people of faith, both in this thread and in my real life. To each his own, I say.
Now that that is out of the way, why do you feel your specific beliefs should be forced upon others? Others whose personal belief system may not be the same as yours? Do you not respect the rights of others to hold different beliefs?
