WTF!! Please explain you're ridiculous connection here.
My point is, some people find the notion of including God in the Pledge to be as arbitrary as including this fictitious "Darrell". Additionally, I was trying to make the point that adding words to the Pledge that nearly everybody disagrees with is morally equivalent to adding (or leaving in) words that even most people agree with.
What do you suggest we replace the pledge with?
I have never suggested replacing the Pledge. I only wish that "under God" is dropped. I want to pledge my allegiance to our flag, and our Republic for which it stands. As for God, that's something completely different, which each of us should be able to pledge our allegiance to in a different manner, and definitely not one sanctioned by our government.
Under your guys plan you just want to have everyone live in this utopian society!
What plan? If you're talking about the plan set forth in the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights, then yes. As far as "utopia" goes, if striving for continual improvement of our society for all people makes me utopian, then so be it.
As far as atheists, who says we have to cater to them? It's their problem for living in a country that they are in the vast majority. Wecan't cater to every single person's needs?
My point is that the Pledge of Allegiance should cater to nobody's religion, not Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, Muslims, Atheists, Agnostics, or anybody else.
You think this is ridiculous but I'll say it again, if you like bad-mouthing this great country, get the hell out!!
I'm not bad-mouthing this country, I'm merely pointing out room for improvement. I'm arguing for inclusiveness and upholding the Constitution, and I'm the one that needs to get the hell out?!
