“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, with liberty and justice for all“

I’m sure many of you have heard the well known pledge of allegiance and are probably aware of the debate on whether “under God” should remain in the Pledge or even on our U.S. currency. Well recently, NBC had a poll on whether or not people believe in God, and the responses poured in. The results of the poll were as follows: 86% of all Americans believe that there is a God, and only 14% don’t. So tell me this: why are we going to change something our nation was based on by our founding fathers because 14% of Americans say the want it out? I personally don’t see how it’s all adding up. What are your views on the subject? Take it out or leave it in?

Rika’s Thoughts:

I think the people who really care about taking the pledge out are making a big fuss, but mostly that 14% doesn’t really care. I don’t really see why we care about the pledge when there are more pressing matters out there: like, for instance, global warming. Those two words are eating up time, and the well known phrase “Time is Money” so we’re wasting money on this silly debate.
