Weasel words.Do you know the history of the pledge?First day of school in Maryland. 4th period, each class, the school determines for the recitation for the Pledge of Allegiance. My 11th grade son is in is assigned class. He is the only one to stand up and recite. One of the slackers turns and says, “are we still doing this?”
I’d like to thank the Armed Forces, past and present, who made it possible for these malcontents and ingrates (and their parents and families) to sit idle during the Pledge of Allegiance. To the appeasing Big Education..... Go Fuck Yourself.
It was originally written by Francis Bellamy - Wikipedia without the words "under goD". You guys woulda hated him by the way. He was a socialist who believed in "the rights of working people and the equal distribution of economic resources, which he believed was inherent in the teachings of Jesus" as well as a leader in the public education movement and the nationalization movement.
"Under god" was added in the 1950s as pretty much pure McCarthyism in response to the "red scare".
So you hate pretty much everything about the pledge's history, you just like the fact that it stirs your jingoism.
Another thought:
For people who claim to be fans of freedom and personal responsibility you sure don't seem to understand what either one of those is.
Here’s a thought... based on the History, looks like another case of Christian Capitalists taking a socialist concept and making it better. Here is another Fact: no where does Jesus mention taking care of the poor and sick must go through the State (Caesar). I am certain Jesus will not judge me on my donations to the State in the name of the Poor. I will be judged what I do Direct in alignment with His teachings. What is going to be interesting is how He views the statists that had Him removed from the schools and courts yet his cherry-picked teachings used as tools to hold his followed followers accountable to the State.
Who cares?It is not the kids, it is the administration putting an emphasis on things that kids have done since the beginning of time. Trying to change certain behaviors that are part of growing up is meddling and damages these kids more than bullying or teasing classmates.Kids today are more accountable for bullying, making racist or homophobic statementsName those different things.They are held accountable for different thingsForget the Pledge of Allegiance. How about holding kids accountable? That’s the larger issue. If you think K-12 students are being held accountable compared to generations past, you are smoking crack.
The statement was that kids are not held accountable. I said they are
So you think being religious means you should be docile pushovers who let their country be taken right out from under their feet by invaders?
Show me in the Bible where Jesus says Christians need to listen to the State when it comes to his teachings?
Rome gave a dole to it's poor/unemployed. Caesar implemented that dole, out of the revenue rendered unto Caesar.Show me in the Bible where Jesus says Christians need to listen to the State when it comes to his teachings? More specifically, show me where it says in order to feed the poor and take care of the sick, Christians need to listen to the State?

OP didn't work out as well as you had hoped?Forget the Pledge of Allegiance. How about holding kids accountable? That’s the larger issue. If you think K-12 students are being held accountable compared to generations past, you are smoking crack.
When he said to render unto Caesar that which was Caesar's. Just how thick are you?Again, where did Jesus say for Christians to give to the State TO FEED THE POOR AND SICK?
By using taxes to feed the poor? Fair enough. Why do you protest that so vigorously then?Then Caesar followed Jesus teachings.

And what was HIS of Caesar's he gave to Caesar, who gave it to the poor.Jesus clearly delineated between what was HIS and what was Caesar’s.
When he said to render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. Don't you read? Jesus was socialist, like the author of the oath of allegiance. Sheesh.Again, where did Jesus say for Christians to give to the State TO FEED THE POOR AND SICK?

And you'll find many a fundy that has what s/he THINKS is a verbatim interpretation of what Jesus would spend our tax $$$ on, what jesus wouldn't spend our tax $$$ on, etc etc ad nasuemThat’s your interpretation.

Jesus will hold Christians accountable to what they did for the poor, not for the State (Caesar).
The boy looks more familiar.View attachment 277386Repetition is necessary to make sure propaganda is securely lodged in young minds.It is a pledge
If it has to be repeated every day, it is not much of a pledge
Yeah, we know.
