If you want a prayer, say a prayer privately. The Pledge is not and never was intended to be a prayer...it is simply a pledge of allegiance to the country and it has been trivialized by turning it into a prayer. And how did the Pledge get so connected to the Declaration of Independence which the "under God" proponents keep citing. Where does it say that a Creator is your god?

fyi, only half the states require reciting of the Pledge....why don't devote your energy to getting every state involved instead of messing with the original document. I thought conservatives were the ones who don't want to change things...?

" Without that foundation, I believe our rights are vulnerable to any strongman who holds more secular power than anyone else."

Interpret the above statement for me please....are you saying that only your god can protect your government or country?
