I believe in God.
Notice Atheist seem to lack the stomach for this argument and I'd like to see it out there so theoretically I don't and would like to see UNDER GOD taken out of the pledge. This should not be the end of the world.
So why is it?

The ``pledge`` should be thrown out altogether.
Why do people feel the need to pledge allegiance to a flag anyway?

The pledge should be for ALL citizens.
Not ALL citizens believe in or support God.
We are a secular government. End of debate.
I am an Atheist and my stomach is just fine.

But believers want UNDER GOD there!?
So...So if a non-believer is a 0 because its nothing and a believer is a 1 because its something and both want something so its a +. Then ends up,
Non-believer + Believer = Believers.
So only believers of God have to right to choose if UNDER GOD should or shouldn't be allowed.
Problem solved...lol...you don't have the right to say because you chose to give up that right...the end.

Athiests just need to stop taking everything as a personal shot at what they believe in. Who gives a damn, who or what someone believes in.
Use some common sense. Let people display what they want to display, they do it for a reason other than to piss atheists off. So don't take it personally and we'll all be a lot happier.
