It is the name of their god, I have met very few muslims who refer to Allah by saying "God" unless they are talking to all monotheistic believers.</div><span style="font-family:Book Antiqua">So, once again, because they refer to God as Allah, all of a sudden, God/Allah are different Lords? Hmm... Your knowledge is questionable.</span>
 
Please tell me when I said that, seriously, dont you understand what I believe that they are the same being?
 
It doesn't bother me. I respect and love the country I live in (USA). Is it that hard to stand up and show that you appreciate what these men and women who have went to war, and died for you do? I don't think it's that hard to do, so I stand during the pledge of allegiance to actually show some decency, and try to show appreciation.
 
The clear difference between Allah and God is that God supports Bush and Allah does not.
 
If you cant take 30 seconds out of your day to stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance than I dont know what to say.30 damn seconds...
 
Wow you guys keep saying 30 seconds, but thats not even the fu*kin point. I don't care how long it takes...go read some of the sh*t I wrote...because the 30 seconds thing is totally not the point.

If you don't want to do it why do they then want you to just go along with it when your not being geniune anyway. God forbid some people are different and have their own opinions.

I didn't say people should or shouldn't, but I think the argument is pretty weak. And I don't think posting on the internet about it is significant at all. That's what your livejournal is for, crying about things. I don't mind you sitting down, but if someone older gets upset at you, don't come crying to me. It's pathetic.
 
nobody was crying to you...you didnt even have to get involved in the thread..that was your choicebut the point wasnt to "cry about it"it was to create a debate..I thought that's what this section was for..not for people to come in and defend there argument as "don't come crying to me. it's pathetic."

You made the topic, but didn't pose anything to really debate about (I don't consider "what are your thoughts?" something to debate about).

What's your thoughts on it?I dont like it at all...whats the point of it?its such a waste of time..why should I pledge to anything?whenever they do it in school I stay in my seat while everyone else stands and says itmy teacher gets mad at me and im like :dunno: :no3: people take it way too seriously and it's the biggest waste of time..every single day....words cant even express how much I hate itand to add to that it says "one nation under God" which I can't even begin to explainwhat if people don't want to be under God? are they not patriotic?gay</div>wow, you have some serious issues with respect. if you can't even say the pledge of allegiance, you don't deserve to live in this country. what a disgrace.

I don't pledge to a country with a moron running it by vote of the idiotic public that votes randomly and doesn't look into it.

You can't look past a brickwall. I'm not going to pledge to a country that can't get it's act together. I say we get BBW in congress! w00t w00t (except cb4 and wolverine30)
 
Something no one has ever mentioned: Ok, so we don't do the pledge in schools, because it has God in it, and not everyone is a Christian. OK, suppose I accept that. If so, then I have the right to challenge teaching evolution in public schools. After all, a lot of people believe in creation, is that not correct? And they don't even let you present creation as an alternative. You absolutely cannot mention it at all. It's hypocritical.

But I do agree that it should be an even playing field.
 
We do the pledge in school here too. What wackjob state do you live in? Everyone does the Pledge.
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>We do the pledge in school here too. What wackjob state do you live in?

And to those in the government who abolished prayer, and to those who took down the Ten Commandments, and to those who overturned a case because a juror mentioned a Bible verse.
