You, my friend, are an idiot.

You are hopefully pledging allegiance to the idea of freedom; America is the bastion of freedom on earth. Nothing wrong with pledging yourself to that concept. In fact, it is godly.

You're not worshipping the piece of cloth.

Did the Steve Miller Band tell you this?

When you "pledge your allegiance" to an inanimate object you are basically worshipping that object.

Putting on my chest waders.

You need to become more familiar with the distinct and separate concepts of pledging allegiance and worship. For one thing, the pledge has no religious significance in and of itself, so the error is in your own understanding if you believe it does.

I hope my friend you are wearing your Asbestos suit. This thread will no doubt be pulled by the moderator soon.

Are you sure you aren't interpreting all this according to tenents of Jehovah Witness? They already stand quietly with the pledge is being said. You don't need to change everyone's religion, just join if them that is what you believe.

By your own (made up) standard, I suppose you'd say the cross is an idol, too.
