More like BRAINWASH little children into religion before they even know the concept of 'god'.

Does the petititon intend to allow people to substitute or add whatever words they want to the Pledge? If not, then it's not about Freedom.

It's not my god, but it is my country.



Do corporate logos "brainwash" you into buying their products? Does the confederate flag that remains on certain HISTORICAL bulidings in the South "brainwash" you into being racist? You're telling me that the phrase "In God We Trust" on our currency is actually a ploy to FORCE religion on the US population, especially when church attendance and religious affiliation has been in decline for a numebr of years?

I'm willing to bet 10:1 most hardly noticed the logo on US currency before a small group of people with nothing better to do got their panties in a wad about how those 4 words "supposedly" manipulate little children into becoming God-Nazi's...

...give me a break. People can be easily swayed, but the vast majority aren't that flagrantly weak and simple-minded.



Well that is ironic. Because for YEARS religious nuts have been complaining about the Atheists, Gays, 'Evolutionists' etc of BRAINWASHING the youth!

BTW, do you think we should have ONE Pledge, or ANY number of them?
