I prefer the original version. America isn't a Christian nation because there are people of many other religons here too. To be one, it would have to be 100% run by Christians and that would mean a 100% Christian voting population. Also, many Founding Fathers were Deists and, based on Christianity's history in Europe, wanted a government free from religious control.
The government's action should not advance or inhibit religion, get it entangled with religion and be for legitmate secular purposes.
Here's an article about the pledge and how the "under God" part had been interpreted in more than one way.

I voted " Remove the words! ". Please, not get wrong idea about my personality. Some of you don't know me so well. I do have faith in God very much. God know how much I have loyalty. The reason I vote to suppose to remove the words. Rather, both Gov't and Religions seperately. Not fair for people who involve in Muslim, Buddhism, and many religions. That's Freedom of Religion for.

Yes, I read one of ur posts, Fly Free.

I don't really care -- it hasn't bothered me at all -- I grew up with that and it didn't bother me back then. :roll:
 
I read somewhere that in spite of the BILLIONS we are spending on this stupid eternal war, some schools are so short of funds that they cannot afford a flag in the classrooms.
So...they cart around the tv set, and students pledge to a flag shown on tv.
I dunno about you, but I find this VERY disturbing and FRIGHTENING!

Why can't they just draw a little flag in one corner of the board or make one out of paper and post it on the wall?
