I guess the oath seems too literal and not inclusive enough, then. Too bad in hindsight. Since it is subject to misinterpretation as to what is being attested, then there should be some alteration of the oath. My grandfather and his father were both very active in the scouts and they founded many troops in California and Missouri. I've always mused since my greatgrandfather was very politically active at the time Missouri was entered into the Union that the term "Show me!" could have been partly due to him! That could be my motto.

Edit: Here it is from the Boy Scout Site (we didn't go to church and I wasn't sure about God and my family supported that):

. . . To do my duty to God . . .
Your family and religious leaders teach you about God and the ways you can serve. You do your duty to God by following the wisdom of those teachings every day and by respecting and defending the rights of others to practice their own beliefs.
