Pledge of Allegiance ruled Unconstitutional

ChadTower:
I am not screaming about Muslims praying.

Crazy Cooter:
The legal precedent was set a long time ago in the First Amendment to the Constitution. It bars the government from taking actions that promote or endorse religion or a particular religious faith.

I swear I read somewhere that the guy only wanted the words "under god" removed (which is how it used to be receited), but somehow it turned into this. Maybe not. I don't understand why it was ever added anyhow. What's the problem with removing it and going on with our daily lives?

[didn't mean you were screaming, people I know are ;)]

You're wrong. I don't believe in religion. My wife does. She takes my kids with her. So they believe. If the pledge said Satan, my kids already have their own opinion. They wouldn't like it. They would come home and ask me why they say Satan. I'd say, cause the pledge is wrong. Say it anyway. leave out the satan part. Have a nice day at school.

Me, I wouldn't care either way.

No one can program my brain. Now I want to go get a mountain dew so I can hang out with hot chicks playing volleyball all day.

Crazy Cooter:
It was changed when "under god" was added, why can't it be changed back now that it's ruled to be in violation of the 1st amendment?
