I'm still questioning this one, I am leaning towards yes because thats how I remember saying it and God can mean so many different things for so many different people. However for atheists, it isn't that simple. What do you guys think?

i say if atheists don't like it, they don't have to say it! and i am sooooo extremely glad that loser excuse for a human being lost the supreme court case and anyone who agrees with him...go to hell!!! enough of this bull crap with all these "groups" wanting special attention! ---hey i'm all for gays and minorities having opportunities and being treated like the rest of society, but trying to erase God from our country and society...like i said..GO TO HELL!! we don't have to cater to citizens like that! that kind of mentality is partly responsible for the breakdown of families, faith, morality, and sense of belonging in this this country INCLUDING homelesness... enough is enough already!!!

We all said the pledge in school and it really didn't mean anything. I don't remember any of us 10 year olds objecting to the words, we didn't even know what we were saying. But certain obsessive compulsive pro-active atheist jerk-offs have nothing better to do than to sue all the way up to the Supreme Court. As if their child saying something they don't understand is gonna harm them for life.

If they took out those words or allowed kids to leave the room or something like that, the real message would be "hey if you're feeling special that day we'll find a way to accomodate you." Yeah that's really what you want to be teaching kids.

From the Statist point of view, this has nothing to do with imposing religion. And believe it or not, there is a Christian heritage to this country, and the founders put "God" in reference to Deism, nothing whatsoever relating to "promoting religion".

minority shminority. they can all go to hell and thank the jews for giving them a voice. i say let's ban the word 'judaism'... fact is, the country was built as a Christian nation and the very fact that people immigrated to the country doesn't mean that the government should lay down everything in order to accommodate them, including the non-immigrants who don't believe in God. Who gives a rat's *ss... people have wayyy too much time on their hands, it's not even funny. this is just like that underwear thread where a human rights group was involved. i myself am an atheist but don't think there's anything wrong with having "under God" in the pledge. God..

Yeah lets take out the 'under God' and also erase 'in God we trust' off all money. So stupid!

I just find it funny/ironic that the phrase "in God we trust" would be on money of all things.

HAH! seriously...

I never said "under God." Every now and then I would replace it with "phucking God" if I was having a bad day.

Toss the God references. They signify nothing beyond the hypocrisy of the government. Wanting to get rid of it is a matter of principle. It makes sense for them to not be there where keeping them does not.

But I am glad people with the sweet end of the bargain can get a good laugh out of the objections. We can spread joy. How wonderful.
