Politics/faith/pledge/jongetcomments
For those of you who don't read this, I am commenting (sort of) on Jon's Blog. First of all why should politics and faith not be intermingled?? You, Jon, being a person of faith would seem like the type of person who would realize the necessity of your faith playing a role in your politics, esp if you were a polotician. I think it is a bonus to the Christian population, most times, when senator takes into consideration his faith and the faith of others when he is considering a nominee or a bill. My thoughts on abolishing the pledge is this... The United States of America was founded on Christian principles, alot of the writers of the constitution were clergy of some sort. And our nation is still a Christian nation. Here is what I think-- If you have a problem with saying "One Nation Under God" then move the freak out of the nation that is under God. We are under God, not under Allah, not under Muhhamad, and not the little man who sits on top of the big hill with all the wisdom. We are One nation, we are Under God. If you are offended of being in a nation under God.. Move out!! Mexico or Canada would probably suit you!! And btw, leave the Money that says "In God We Trust" here when you leave. If they are offended by the phrase Under God.. why don't they burn their money which says "In God We Trust".. or is that next.. getting that slogan off of money.. Give it up!! We are under God and if you come to our Christian Nation, you too should admit we are under God! If you are offended.. TOO BAD>. I'll get you a hankie and tell you it's alright.. I'm offended with the quality of the people moving in my neighborhood.. do you think I could have them kicked out? No because it's not about suppressing religion and Christians at that.. Do we suppress the Muslim religion.. NO.. because we'd get sued for discrimination... You people are crazy!

I agree and understand that you would opt out of saying the pledge. I've never said the pledge more than once or twice in my life.. BUT.. it is still good for the country as a whole to say the pledge in school or wherever. If nothing else it is acknowledging that we ARE a nation under God. And you ask.. is America under God??? I cannot answer that for sure.. BUT what I take it as,, when it was founded it was founded under Godly principles.. and they based alot of things on the Bible. So to not want the pledge to exist or to have it banned or have a prob with "under God" would mean that we no longer want God in our country, let alone our lives! Who do they want? Allah? That'd be great.. "Late breaing news.. the president Mr. Muhammad Patel has just blown himself up in the Whitehouse after praying to Allah". I think I'd rather have a president that prayed to God and pledged his allegiance to the flag..... one Nation under God".. than to Mr. Patel who pledged his allegiance to Allah and to the laws of his will. So I dont know if we as a nation are under God.. actualy in one way, yes we are.. everything is 'under God' he is 'above all things'. But not all of us are actually reeping the benefits of being under Him.
