3. No chance in what time frame?

Tue Sep 9, 2014, 08:48 AM

Sep 2014

There have been lots of changes to our society that once seemed unthinkable - open homosexuality for example. While things aren't perfect for the LGBT community - it wasn't that long ago that they had to be invisible or risk legal prosecution. Perhaps this "under God" bit of the pledge, which is a bit exclusionary, can be reevaluated as we as a society evolve.

It comes down to the question of whether we want an America that is going to be welcoming to all different ways of thought on the subject of God or whether we want Christians to retain their position of cultural superiority.

There are also some religions that do not have a deity, or do not have a single deity. AtheistCrusader Sep 2014 #7

A Muslim would be quite certain that it does. okasha Sep 2014 #8

Yes- but the people who insist that Under God be left in everywhere are fundamentalist Christians el_bryanto Sep 2014 #9
