Ok, so I heard that the 'Under God' part of the Pledge of Allegiance is going to be taken off.
What do you think? Should it have stayed? Will these be action be done, or will continue to stay in the Pledge of Allegiance? Should the Pledge of Allegiance even contain 'Under God' in it? |

QUOTE(uninspiredfae @ May 20 2004, 9:18 PM) Actually, ehehe, they came here for the FREEDOM to serve God. Not under God's name. There's a difference. I learn more about pilgrims than you'd think, but what do you know? They came here for the freedom to serve God as they wished. And you're right, it is for religious freedom, but there were many different groups who wanted to serve God the way they wanted to. There were huguenots, quakers, puritans, and others. NOT just pilgrims, "babe". And because of this religious freedom, you're facing the whole problem of atheists disagreeing about "Under God". They have a freedom not to pursue religious means just like you have a freedom to serve God. There's two sides to every story, please respect that. they came to freely worship God...i never specified a God...also pilgirms r...A religious devotee who journeys to a shrine or sacred place. One who embarks on a quest for something conceived of as sacred. A traveler. Pilgrim One of the English Separatists who founded the colony of Plymouth in New England in 1620. frum dictionary.com no1 ever said a certain religion...n i dunt think im being disrespectful to either side so chill...this IS debate u know...just cause im rite doesnt mean ya need to get all ansy |
