I don't buy into the "one nation under God" thing, but I am still patriotic, love my country, but if I say the pledge as approved by Congress to show my loyalty then I am indeed forced to make statements contrary to my religious belief. Is that too difficult to understand? What about Hindus or Buddhists? They also couldn't say the pledge without contradicting their religious views. Are you saying there are no patriotic Hindus or Buddhists in the U.S.? -- Steve Tate - srt[At]cs.unt.edu | "A computer lets you make more mistakes faster Dept. of Computer Sciences | than any invention in human history with the University of North Texas | possible exceptions of handguns and tequila."
