And I think "Under God" should be removed. Here's my reasoning.
1) the original intent of our founding fathers, that the church is the church and the state is the state, and neither the two shall meet 2) The United States is made up of many different religions (anyone have statistics on Christian vs. non Christian) we cannot cater to one and not the others, the best way is to not cater to any. It's the only fair way 3) I feel that if a person is religious, his or her faith should drive their personal choices, but should not influence the government at large. 4) We are "a nation of laws not men" -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 4405 Oakshyre Way Raleigh, NC. 27616 (703) 220-2835 http://www.sstwebworks.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/sstwebworks -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Sorge [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 28, 2007 3:53 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Are Boulderites on crack? The original pledge is: 'I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.' It was not until 1923 and 1924 that the National Flag Conference under the leadership of the American Legion and the Daughters of the American Revolution changed the Pledge's words to 'my Flag' to 'the Flag of the United States of America'. And it was the Knights of Columbus, in 1954 that recommended to Congress that Under God be added to the pledge Bruce Scott Stewart wrote: > Why can't we just revert to the original text of the Pledge? > > "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to > the republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, > with liberty and justice for all." > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:243427 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
