One nation under God



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?
