" now reviewing whether the phrase "under God" should be removed from our Pledge of Allegiance"


like it was before 1950, when America was truly fighting God's enemies of Nazism and Japanese imperialism?

Sorry, but "God" was put into the pledge for political reasons and hasn't always been a part of the nation's Christian heritage.

You're giving unduly exclusive focus to only one example of the current all-out assault on Chritian America... that of the Pledge of Allegiance.

This editorial is about much more than that. Read it again, more slowly if necessary.

I agree with you. The effort to politicize God was wrong, is wrong, and has produced an unchristian society. I remember the time before these efforts and we were a better nation then.

Sorry, but "God" was put into the pledge for political reasons and hasn't always been a part of the nation's Christian heritage.

1. Those political reasons had to do with the fact that Communism was on the march and it was looking pretty bad for those of us in the Free World. In fact, I don't think the word "political" covers it. It's not as if the Dems put it in their to show up the Republicans or vice versa.

2. If the courts take "under God" out of the Pledge, they won't be doing it to reset us back to the way things were prior to 1950, they will be doing it as a further effort to advance the idea that the government is allowed to establish religion-free zones. The object is to continue to pretend that having a secular government means having a government that pushes secularism on its citizens.
