"under god" in the US Pledge of Allegiance |
I hope somebody here can help me out... I know that "under god" wasn't part of the original US
Pledge of Allegiance. But I'd like to know when/why/how it was inserted into The Pledge. Thanks in
advance!!

Why should I have to pledge allegiance to god in order to pledge allegiance to the United States?

One of the few people who actually know "under god" was not part of
the original pledge. Good job, Dawn.

Under god and in god we trust is a free advertising of a product (god), sold
by a big business called religion at a local dealer called church.

I know that. But to undrstand why the Congress did it, you have to perceive
religion as a business. There is no other way to explain a hypocrisy

Last week, my husband and I attended back to school night at my daughter's
middle school. she is in 6th grade. this year, for the first time, they had us
proceed to the homeroom to experience a typical but shortened homeroom period
and to pick up their schedule. Well, this school district does and very quick
moment of silence and the pledge. They asked us to rise for the pledge which
we did. Neither my husband nor myself said the under god part and the guy in
front of us stood up but remained silent!

He is a git, isn't he? Fixated on one, ah two (mustn't forget the
underage sex), ideas to the exclusion of all else.
More generally though I've never been entirely sure about killfiling.
No problem for the anon remailers from which nothing but abuse
emanates from, but people ... not so sure.
Should we only see what we wish to see? I'm not entirely convinced.

Dunno. I haven't read anything by Osama lately. But given what I have
read, I'd be interested to know if you've managed to fulfill your
overriding ambition with respect to the under 16s. Or is it under 12s?

Therion Ware says
More generally though I've never been entirely sure about killfiling.
No problem for the anon remailers from which nothing but abuse
emanates from, but people ... not so sure.
Nearly everyone says something worth reading sometime. My decision to stop or
continue reading is made after the first line or two, or the first paragraph,
or the first page, or ....
Should we only see what we wish to see? I'm not entirely convinced.
I am firmly convinced that we *should* see only what we wish to see *AFTER* the
first second or two -- which provides everyone adequate time to decide to look
elsewhere.
I don't buy the argument that "You can't do it because I don't want to see it."
If I did buy that argument, I'd use it to insist that no one wear clothes
whenever the ambient temperature exceeds 68 degrees F (20 degrees C).

I hope somebody here can help me out... I know that "under god" wasn't
part of the original US
Pledge of Allegiance. But I'd like to know when/why/how it was inserted
into The Pledge. Thanks in
advance!!

It was put in by a law passed by Congress in 1954. This was at the
height of the Cold War. Somehow the authors of the law thought that it
would differentiate us from the "godless" Reds.

In the 50's, being an atheist was indistinguishable from being a
communist. In 1987, George Bush Sr, then VP running for President, said
"I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should
they be considered patriots."
I guess that's progress.
