I agree and disagree with Andrew.
1 – I disagree because I DO think that ‘god’ should be removed from the Pledge of Allegiance. Its called the Pledge of Allegiance for crying out loud! I refuse to pledge my allegiance to ‘god’! America was founded on the principal that people could practice whatever religion they please or lack thereof. I hate to shatter anyone’s ignorance, but not everybody believes in a ‘god.’ In America, we shouldn’t have to pledge our allegiance to god when we pledge our allegiance to our country.
2 – I also agree with Andrew because I think people are overly sensitive when it comes to religion. We see people walking the streets preaching the weirdest things. I remember once on campus when I saw a crazy man yelling that Christians were wrong to stop the Holocaust. Really? I mean, most non-christians would even disagree with that statement. If people are willing to preach about their views in public places, they had better be prepared to be made fun of. I remember another time, on Halloween, when I saw people holding signs that said “want to know your fortune?” or “You want $5?” When I went up to them, they started asked me how much I knew about the Bible, etc. We were just trying to have fun on Halloween and these religion-crazed people were pestering passersby.
