then in the old days that? What is the since in taking God's name off of everything? I mean no matter who you believe in( allah, Kaya, Isis, etc) that is your God right so why take Him off of the United States pledge and money? And if you are atheist then you uphold tradition right? So the words are a tradition because our founding fathers put it there. I really see no since in this. I don't. Everyone wants to change things, I saw it has worked good so leave it alone. Just like this since they have taken bibles and prayers out of schools we have shootings on a daily basis es we did not have this when mine and yours Parents and Grandparents went to school because they learned from the bible that "Thou shelt not kill" It like the poem for a 9 year old boy says. We can have a pregnant prom queen and the unwed daddy the king, but to quote the good book makes me liable. I just don't see why people are trying their darnedest to destroy this world.
