I took an oath for the military in 1995 and as children we had the Pledge of Allegiance.
Recently as of last year I went to a Tea Party meeting and the beginning was an invocation of prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance.
Some people think it's a great idea but it's contrary to the words of Jesus so there is that, too.
In basic military training were were given tiny New Testament Bibles of the King James Version with red letters of Jesus that you could read in red blackout light conditions!
So many contradictions.
