The “Pledge of Allegiance” was first published in 1892 and was widely recited in schools soon thereafter. It has been amended several times, and the most recent revision came in 1954 with the addition of the phrase “under God” following the words “one nation.” This addition grew out of a desire to include a reference to Deity in keeping with the beliefs of America’s founding fathers. The phrase “under God” was aptly chosen because Abraham Lincoln reportedly used the expression, “this Nation under God,” in his immortal “Gettysburg Address.” For several decades, students in public schools all over America have recited the pledge with the words “under God.” Now those words are under legal attack.The Pledge: One Nation Under God teaches Americans not to regard their freedoms lightly and eloquently echoes the words of Thomas Jefferson: “THE GOD WHO GAVE US LIFE GAVE US LIBERTY.”
Madalyn Murray O’Hair is the one atheist who by the way is dead, lead the way to get God and the Bible out of school. But it is awsome to know that her son; William J. Murray is working hard today to make sure that they dont mess with our pledge of allegence. He has personally helped to bring the Gospel to Sudan, Darfur, Kosovo, Serbia, China, and the Middle East, and the Soviet Union.
The devil is fighting hard but men like this and others are making a difference.
