The beauty of the Internet is that it allows for free speech so in a post like this I can speak my mind. For those of you that don't know lately the pledge of the allegiance has been contested. Specifically the line "one nation under God". The line was added by Dwight Eisenhower during his term as President. Now for those of you that don't see the problem with that line, here's my little explanation. The Bill of Rights allows the right of religious freedom. Your religion can be whatever you want it to be, whether you want to beleive in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or nothing at all. Whatever religion you want to be part of, whether it's something or nothing, may or may not believe in a God. Should everyone then have to say "one nation under God"? A country that was founded on freedom shouldn't be forcing people to say they believe in God. What makes the issue worse is the MORONIC COMMENTS towards those who don't believe in God and disagree with that line in the pledge. The pure ignorance of some individuals is amazing, well you won't say the line in the pledge YOU MUST BE A TERRORIST. The only terrorists are the ones that are attempting to destroy our freedoms. Defend your rights like that of free speech and freedom of religion. Just beacuse you don't always agree with what someone is saying doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to say it. Freedom of speech allows for us to live happily ever after and disagree, that's the brilliance of it. Freedom of religion should be the same, no one should be a treason committing terrorist for not wanting to say they believe in a God.
