Allegiance to a Pledge

Then there's the fact that Christian phrases reside in other places, on other things. What about "In God we trust" pasted on currency? The Supremes open their work days with an invocation, Congress with a prayer. Hey, religion all over.

Of course, a big difference between those circumstances and the Pledge of Allegiance is that neither children nor anyone else recites them.

It's probably appropriate right here to say that none of this particularly bothers me. But I'm in the majority, because I am a Christian. The point, as with so many other liberties we enjoy in the USofA, is to protect those in the minority, those who are offended with my way of thinking. These wars have already been fought. And won. The victories cannot have been in vain.

The Supreme Court may soon be back in the spotlight - under its new captain, John G. Roberts - and they can either step up and decide as the Constitution dictates, or do the expedient and safe thing: yield to will of the majority.
