The media's attitude towards religion reminds me of an exchange deleted from that appallingly anti-Catholic (and anti-religion, generally) film, Angels and Demons
Father Simeon: "People will think--"
Cardinal Mortati: "What we tell them to think."

Actually you cannot “dump” Under God from the pledge, if you leave the phrase out, it no longer is the pledge.

They also left out the word INDIVISIBLE! So, maybe while they are showing their anti-Christian bias, they are promoting secession?
To: Brandonmark
This is sickening and I hope people continue to express their ire at NBC.
I'm composing a message to them now.

To: Allegra
The phrase “one nation under God” does not contain a comma and the words “one nation” modify “under God”...so our pastor teaches to not pause during the phrase “one nation under God” as is the common practice.

'They also left out the word INDIVISIBLE! So, maybe while they are showing their anti-Christian bias, they are promoting secession?'Oooooo. Please, please, please, go for it.
"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Contact Comcast's CEO Brian Roberts
brian_roberts@comcast.com
Here's what I wrote:
The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy, who was a Baptist minister and a Christian. It was amended in 1954 to include the words, "one nation under God". I find it completely unacceptable for NBC to have omitted these words from the Pledge and in doing so offending Christians around the country, myself included. I find it even more unacceptable that your weak apology precluded the word "God" as well.
I have been an avid viewer of NBC broadcasts for most of my 53 years. But I refuse to support any network that willfully disparages Christians across this nation as NBC has done. Moreover, I am and have always been willing to contact sponsors notifying them that I will no longer purchase the products and/or services of any company who advertizes on such a network.
I am recording the US Open as I have always done. I will use my recording to make sure I do not miss a single NBC sponsor in my effort. Additionally, I will be writing letters to many newspapers in the Southern California area. With circulations in the millions, this will ensure your offensive actions will be known to more than just those who watched the Open.
Good luck selling your anti-God campaign to the scant few Americans who agree with your position that the Pledge should not include the word God. You have alienated me and many millions of Americans forever.
Sincerely,
South40

If everyone stopped watching TV, especially sports, the job of taking our country back would be about 10,000 times easier than it is right now.

Perhaps the Republican candidates can omit any NBC/MSNBC/Comacast relatated debates on their schedules...

They want the country balkanized which is the antithesis of indivisible.
