Under God in pledge of allegiance.

I'll bet this was a surprise to NBC.
NBC POLL



Do you believe in God?& lt; /b>

NBC this morning had a poll on this question. They had the highest Number of responses that they have ever had for one of their polls, and the Percentage was the same as this:

86% for keeping the words, IN God We Trust and Go d in the Pledge of Allegiance
14% against

That is a pretty commanding public response.

I was asked to send this on if I agreed or delete if I didn't .

Now it is your turn ... It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God.

Therefore, I have a very hard time understanding why there is such A mess about having 'In God We Trust' on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Why is the world catering to this 14%?

[Hornet33]

Because the squeaky wheel gets the oil. That 86% just except that it's there as it should be and don't say anything about it. It's the 14% that complain and cry about it so they get all the attention because of it.

[Trell]

Its not required for anyone to say it by law,  So i don't care what they put in it.

Polls suck anyway. Too easy to manipulate.....and done so regularly.
If I were going to fake a story I`d at least try to get a little closer to facts.
86% is a pretty low figure.

'Under god' was added to the pledge in 1954 to fight the communist menace.  As long as the dark shores of Cuba hide the slouching menace of Castro's shock-troopers with their elite mechanized amphibious forces that every day threaten to overwhelm us with their might...  we'd better damn well keep those words. 

Apparently, those two little words are all that stands between us and utter annihilation, and without them, our nation is as defenseless against all external threats as it was until that fateful day when Eisenhower erected our God Shield.

Maybe you should watch this clip and you might understand it better. Watch what he says at the very end as well.

It's a classic speech, Red Skelton was truly passionate about the subject and articulated his feelings with deep conviction.

My god smites those who expose me to retarded email chain letters.  It's a shame that some of my own family shall also be smited, but "rules is rules", so sayeth the lord.

[Jackal1]

but "rules is rules", so sayeth the lord.

I thought Skuzzy said that. 

[angelsandair]

I didnt get it in a chain letter 

I found it on a website. But I have copied and pasted some old chain letters.

... and justice for all. Guess what I pass.

the actual polls did say that more than 80% of the people don't want "in god we trust" or mention of him in the pledge removed.

This does not mean that they believe in god but it is a good indication I would say.   Those who do not believe in god are a tiny minority.. those who are actively trying to remove god from all government are an even smaller group.
