He was the right to it. I don't know his exact reasoning. But I know many who feel very bad about the words in the song. My grandfather had told me that he was very angry when he first heard the Pledge sung with "under God" in it and learned that it was going to be said every time. If it gets removed I will definitely have no problem with it.
Are you serious? They have tried to take God out of everything already. This is just giving satan more of a foothold in our society. I bet you they would leave the song alone if we said one nation under allah.
I don't think it was right to ever even add "under God" to it. Its only had "under God" in it for about half its lifetime. The pledge did not originally have the phrase in it and I don't think it should be in it.
I simply cannot agree that the 1% of God haters should tell the rest of the country what to do. We will have to find something else to agree on brother.He was the right to it.

THe only good thing about that is the ones who yell the loudest do believe in God. They may hate Him or be enraged by Him but if they did not believe they wouldn't care so much.From my experiences with it, it seems to even further the distance from others to the faith. Though who knows, it could go either way. I could just be in a place were situations are odd.

From Wikipedia Delcaration of Independence:
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Endowed by their Creator!!! The foundation of this country's sovereignty declares they have their rights ONLY BECAUSE GOD GAVE IT TO THEM. If our "rights" are from men, then they can be taken away and twisted. If our rights are from God, as our FOREFATHERS and FOUNDATIONS OF THIS COUNTRY HAVE CLEARLY STATED AND SIGNED THEIR NAMES TO, then our rights cannot be taken away or distorted. This country was founded on the belief in God.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States
And not only does God exist back then, but He is the "Supreme Judge of the World." Amen and amen. We've tried to kick God out of this country so hard. It is absurd. Madison, Washington....they would be ashamed.
We aren't really a Godly nation, we aren't really trying to BE a Godly nation, so forcing people to lie, seems to be the opposite of what we are trying to accomplish. I don't like how history books are being re-written to keep religion out, and I don't like that 200 year old "decorations" are being removed from courthouses, but if printing "In God We Trust" on money is only something that has been done for 50 years, it's somewhat immaterial.
