'Under God' should be in the pledge twice.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, under God, with liberty and justice for all.

Discuss.

I think one is sufficient, others believe it shouldnt be in there at all, but it should stay.UrbanSpartan125

Nope, we need it in there twice.

Why stop there? Let's make it, "I pledge allegience to God, the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic of God for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, under God, with liberty and justice for all. Amen."drewtwo99

Maybe add a couple more Gods in there...I like where this is going though.

I'm not an American but I wouldn't want "under God" in there at alldomatron23

This. And then they make the schools pledge ergo it should be taken out. I need to sue the government.

One nation under God, Chuck Norris, Buddha, Allah, RaptorJesus, Jebus, and Al Gore.

why, I think one is sufficient, but be ready because pretty soon people are going to come with, "it shouldn't be there at all", and "they just added that to seperate us from the commies" ect, ect ectLS07

It shouldn't be there at all. They just added that to separate us from the commies!

Pfft. Stop being so politically correct. It should be:

"Behold, I pledge allegience to God, the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic of God for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, under God, with liberty and justice, but only for those who believe in God. Amen."

Yeah it should be int here like 4 times

*Note: that wasn't sarcasm*

This reminds me of a time when my teacher said Amen after the Pledge of Allegiance

Obvioussly you have to add another mention of "god" into it every 50 years or so. Everybody knows that. Add another one now, and then we'll get a 3rd "god" in 2055.

Why does it offend so many people that "Under God" is in it? If you feel that it's so offensive then we should ban the use of saying "Bless you" when someone sneezes. I just see this as a way for atheiest to say " Hey look over here! I don't believe in God. I'm smarter than you so I don't have to say this word"shaza91

Meh, I don't say it. Hell, I don't even acknowledge that they're doing it...No skin off my nose.THE_DRUGGIE

How is it any different? IThis reminds me of the Dane Cook standup lol When he's talking about saying "God bless you" to the athiest just to piss him off lol

One is already unconstitutional.CptJSparrow

[QUOTE="CptJSparrow"]One is already unconstitutional.Anamosa41

Sure, but it also mentions seperation of Church and State.One shouldnt be required toacknowledge God when pledging alliegance to their country. They aretwo different things.

[QUOTE="CptJSparrow"]One is already unconstitutional.Anamosa41

[QUOTE="Anamosa41"][QUOTE="CptJSparrow"]One is already unconstitutional.CptJSparrow

I dont think it should be there. There obviously is no god anyway, why pray to an inatimate being?Dedicationism

This is the exact reason to why it's still in there. The majority of people who don't agree with it don't want it in the Pledge because they believe their belief is better, not becasue it conflicts with the constitution.

[QUOTE="CptJSparrow"][QUOTE="Anamosa41"][QUOTE="CptJSparrow"]One is already unconstitutional.Anamosa41

I have to disagree with both of you anamosa this was not meant to be a nation that serves God we have a speration of church and state and CptJSparrow it is not unconstitutional because it is not required, I believe they made those 2 words optional and you can just pause there if you want, correct me if I'm wrong here

President Nixon was the man who forced the word God into the pledge. I frown upon him.L8erSquare

Behold thee, I pledge allegience to the only true God, the pure and mighty flag of the greatUnited States of America, and to the republic of God for which it stands, one nation under the only true God, with liberty and justice, as long as it doesnt go against God. Death to non-believers. Amen.

(before asking, no, im not American, thats called irony, folks) P.S. Atheist FTW

Honestly, I dont see how people can get offended to the word god. Why is God creating such controversy? Anyway, I dont see a problem with god in the pledge. Of course, I might just be biased because I am a Christian. As for saying god more than once in the pledge: Sounds like a good idea but Im fine with it being said once. Im just concerned that it might be removed soon. As Jay Leno once said, "With the threat of terrorism, disease and natural disasters, do you really think its a good time to remove god from the pledge?"GamingBoy2009

Why should I recognize your God if I don't think he exiss? What if you had to say one nation under Allah, or one nation under Yaweh. Would you still feel the same?

Or Odin, or Zeus, or Osiris, or any other god figure?

1) In my high school, we had to say the pledge. So yes, I was forced.

2) I know tht God, Allah, and Yaweh are the same God, but they have different connotations and are therefore nto accepted by all of the members of the different faiths. I know some people who get angry when they hear the name Allah instead of God...

1) I don't now, but all through elementary, middle, and high school, we didn't have a choice. We had to say the pledge in its entirety.
