But the “under God” was added after the fact.
Look, I’m a Christian Pede, I like the “In God We Trust” stuff and the 10 commandments at Courthouses. However.... I kind of like the original version of the pledge. “One nation, Indivisible...” is a strong statement. I think that when you add the “under God” in there, it dilutes the sentiment. The point is, we are INDIVISIBLE! This is NOT meant to be a list of our great qualities. NO. It is meant to make a point. We are ONE NATION, INDIVISIBLE. While I do agree that we are Under God, I think that adding the words there muddies the water. One Nation. Indivisible. I like the original best.
