Can we now take "under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance?

    The last four words of the national anthem are, "Gentlemen, start your engines!" I thought everybody knew that.

    Only should be played at international events such as the Olympics and select soccer matches. Otherwise, it's a giant waste of time.

    I'm OK with that.

    Hmmmm......Googling Sasha Grey in 5...4...3...

    Edit: Not bad, but not Jenna. Not by a long shot.

    Yes.

    If you didn't believe in some "mythical higher power" who was prominently mentioned in something you had to recite...would you not opt to just not say the words?

    When I was in high school, I had a friend who said the national anthem should be either "Feel Like Making Love" by Bad Company or "Let's Get It Up" by AC/DC.

    IJAG, was talking about religion being forced down one's throat because of those two words.

    KY:

    Still remains the same answer. Yes, saying 'one nation under god' when it's not a religious speech to begin with, is forcing your religion on me.

    Why should I have to pledge allegiance to my nation "under (your) god," if I don't believe what you do?
