The Pledge of Allegiance commits us to “one nation under
God.” Many would bristle at the idea of removing the two words “under God” from
the pledge. But if these are not empty words, we have to ask ourselves some
difficult questions.
Would a nation truly under God have the disparity in wealth
that exists in America today?
Would a nation truly under God be so materialistic, cynical,
superficial and status driven?
Would a nation truly under God be so saturated in sex and
violence?
Would a nation truly under God be content with the level of
poverty in America today?
Would a nation truly under God tolerate so many hungry,
abused and neglected children?
Would a nation truly under God let its young men and women
go to war and abandon them when they return injured in mind and body?
Would a nation truly under God worship the dollar above all
else?
