The Pledge of Allegiance
Image via Wikipedia
Reader Ryan Latham has created an informative presentation on the origins and history of the Pledge of Allegiance, and a brief introduction to the constitutional issues it faces. I’m not an American citizen, but it is hard to be a secularist online and not know about the 1954 inclusion of the words “under God” into the Pledge to counter “godless communism” at the time.
Ryan’s presentation fills you in on the court cases involving the Pledge, and how the addition of “under God” would fare if tested by the courts today.

Yep, I'm sure no communist or other subversive would *lie* about believing god if it would prevent tipping people off on their evil mission… just like I'm sure terrorists wouldn't lie about bringing weapons on planes… I mean, that would be dishonest!
Wow, I really enjoyed that presentation. It was very informative and well though-out out, plus entertaining to watch all the shit fly back and forth.
It's so funny to me how defensive people get about people not wanting to say the Pledge of Allegiance. It's just another facet of society that never ceases to amaze me with it's childishness.
nothing you liars ever say or do means anything:

HOW WE WON THE JAMES RANDI MILLION DOLLAR PARANORMAL CHALLENGE:
http://www.debunkingskeptics.com/forum/viewtopic….
the objective was simple:
1) to reveal that Nostradamus was a genuine prophet who could predict
the future with 100% accuracy;
2) to demonstrate that prophecy and atheism are not compatible with
each other and are mutually exclusive;
3) therefore dawkins, pz, randi and their skeptic atheist followers
were deluded liars…
and we achieved our MISSION 100%…

"For God's mercy will be poured forth only for a certain time, my son,
until the majority of my prophecies are fulfilled and this fulfillment
is complete. Then *****several times***** in the course of the doleful
tempests the Lord shall say: Therefore I shall crush and destroy and
show no mercy; and many other circumstances shall result from floods
and continual rain of which I have written more fully in my other
prophecies, composed at some length, not in a chronological sequence,
in prose, limiting the places and times and ****EXACT DATES**** so
that future generations will see, while experiencing these
****inevitable events****, how I have listed others in clearer
language, so that despite their obscurities these things shall be
understood: When the time comes for the removal of ignorance, the
matter will be clearer still."
UNDERSTAND?
