Nothing in the Constitution requires a pledge to a piece of cloth. I will never utter such a pledge again and children who are NOT taught the Constitution, NOT taught about the Bill of Rights, NOT taught about the Common Law, NOT taught about the rights and perogatives of juries, should NOT be encouraged to utter an empty pledge to cloth, whether it contains the word "God" or not.

Is this a Hitler quote?
An atheist has as much of a right not to believe as you do to believe.

The truth is, there''s no such thing as a true atheist. Its just an excuse for a person not to take responsibility for his/her actions.

You sure are caught up on Hitler. What are you trying to tell us? That you have reicht fantasies?

I own guns so your kind can''t take over.

We put "GOD" on all our money to fight communism, and today we have given almost all of our money and countless jobs to communist China so they can build up their military like never before.
Ironic to say the least.

That those of us who want the Government OUT of Religion are Godless people who want to eliminate God from society. IT''''s a LIE... A BALD FACED LIE. All I want is for Government and Toe Tappers to stay out of my personal beliefs and stop allowing certain people and certain religions to interfer with my RIGHTS to believe as I see fit. It''''s just that simple. Sieg Heil and Amen.

Precisely what we want from vulgar, fascistic, satanic, Hitler worshipers like you. Stay out of our religious beliefs that our Founders guaranteed to us in the Constitution.

People worship money more then they worship God anyway...even certain organized religions seem to worship the almighty dollar more then they do God. Take the word God off of money...it is just an insult to Him to have His name printed on a false god!

Bowman explained to the Society that in adding the words, "under God," they were following the precedent established by Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address. At the end of this Address, Lincoln said, "this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom-and that, government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." (Lincoln inserted the words, "under God," extemporaneously, for they do not appear in his written draft.)

---------------------------------------------

We do well to heed the heart of a man like Lincoln, but regarding the legality of the Pledge, I agree with this poster:

As for the Pledge, don''''t recite it . It isn''''t manadatory. There, it''''s solved.

Correct me if I''m wrong. It is from of religion, not freedom from religion. Who is paying for this suit and how much is it going to cost to remove God from the pledge and our currency? How many atheists for years spent and received money with no complaints. As for the Pledge, don''t recite it . It isn''t manadatory. There, it''s solved.

Sir Isaac Newton was a mathematician, scientist, and philosopher. He constructed the first reflecting telescope, laid the foundation for the great law of energy conservation and developed the particle theory of light propagation. In 1704, Sir Isaac Newton wrote his work entitled Optics, in which he stated:

"God in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, movable particles, of such sizes and figures, and with such other properties, and in such proportion to space, as most conduced to the end for which he formed them." 9

This is for the benefit of all those pagan worshippers of the Science god to meditate on.
