Some say, well, you don't have to say the words 'under god', but I say, I don't have to feel that I am a non complier or outsider while showing my patriotism. Patriotism has nothing and I say NOTHING to do with whether or not you believe in a god or not. The pledge was originally written without 'under god', and I say, restore it back to the original version without those offensive words.<br /> <br /> For those that say, it's only two small words, what?s the beef? Well so is ?one nation, eats poop, indivisible'. Both ?under god? and ?eats poop? are offensive to many and have nothing to do with Patriotism. (Had another 4 letter word instead of poop but kids may be reading this). This nation was founded for ALL regardless of our beliefs.<br /> <br /> I feel ALL Americans should be comfortable in saying the Pledge and believe in our country. America has its problems and we should work on solving those while what it stands for should not be changed. Unfortunately there are those that are trying to change America to their philosophy, to change it to a Theocracy. That is not what America is about. Those religious people that are fighting to keep those words in our Pledge are truly unpatriotic. They don?t understand what America is about.<br /> <br /> Finally, the phrase ?one nation, under god, indivisible? is an oxymoron. This phrase divides this nation. This nation will NEVER be 100% under a god, therefore the pledge is misleading and deceitful with these two words.<br /> <br /> Bravo to Mr Newdow!<br /> To me, it is a forced acknowledgement of a god.

The words "under god" never would've crossed my lips as I stood in the classroom with my hand over my heart.<br /> I could've enlightened my friends as well. Go Mr. Newdow!
