I made a protest at my school today. (pictures) ♥

[tankanori]

god is wut the country was founded on so who cares about athiest. not god thats who and he wont take his name out of his countrys pledge ....god your stupid exclaim

[a sunset over monroeville]

i seriously doubt anyone who stop the pledge of allegiance just for a few kids.
do you know how long americans have been doing that?
if you don't want to say it, then just don't.
everyone is entitled to doing whatever they want.
so what about those who want to keep pledging their allegiance to god and their country?
the world isn't going to bend over backwards just because you're an atheist.

I'm not a atheist, but I understand that because of your religion they shouldn't force you to do the pledge. When doing the pledge, stand up but keep your mouth closed, because that will show you respect the others around you but I do not wish to do the pledge. If you get in trouble, explain to the teacher why you can't. If it's really bugging you, you could go to the office and ask the the people there directly.

No one's "Forcing" you to say the ******** pledge -.-'

Are they looking you all right in the eye making sure you're saying it word for word?

Doubt it stare

All i do is stand up and put my hand on my heart thats it no one says it

Who gives a s**t if you're ******** atheist if you have a problem with the word God in the pledge then SHUT THE ******** UP dont say the damn pledge stop whining *oh i dont like it because im a athiest/jew/satanist really no one's gonna listen to you if you're satanist. and be a good american

I don't give a s**t about the whole "Under God" thing.
What bugs me is that I have to get off my a** while they spout that s**t.

Oh heavens... As a representative of the US government, I apologize for you having to get off your fat a** for 30 seconds to show your respect for our country. We would be more than happy to resolve this problem. Kindly allow us to revoke your citizenship, and we will most hastily deport you to Mexico. mrgreen

ITT: America sucks a**.
Someday you'll crawl out of your box and see that.

I'm pretty sure I'm a married adult and aware of myself enough to make that decision. And if it sucks so much, get the ******** out. We don't like you either.

stare Well, school on a Sunday must suck...
But...

I'm an atheist and I stand for the pledge.
It's more of an issue of respect than anything else.
You're not standing for God.

[.S h o.]

I think you're taking things a little far. You can't get the school to remove the pledge from the morning announcements. The most you can do is what I do; I just don't say the pledge.

You're infringing on other's rights to do what they please. It's ridiculous to try and get people to stop wearing crosses. Go ahead, be an atheist, but please, respect other people's beliefs.

Although in some ways i agree if you don't like it then you can always move to a country you think is better.

Then don't say the pledge of allegiance. It's as simple as that.

Attention citizens of Gaia.

Stop posting now. She is a troll, as a quick look at her recent posts will show. She is offline, and we are now free to let this thread die. So I emplore you, stop posting.

I may not have seen anything else she's posted in the GD, but I do know that the profiles are down right now, making it impossible to check out her previous posts at this time.

I do not believe she is a troll, I just think she's making the mistakes of most young atheists, just like most young believers of other various religions(at least that I've seen so far), which is being over-zealous about something they believe is right or wrong and not willing to even try to see the other side's view points, none the less be willing to accept that other people have different viewpoints.

You are what's wrong with America.

Even though the topic is obvious trolling...

This guy doesn't help the stereotype that Americans are lazy.

Why can't it be

I pledge Allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation united, indivisible,
with Liberty and Justice for all.

Because united and indivisible is kind of redundant.
