America & My Pledge

America & My Pledge -

When America was Created they were Masons. America was Founded as an expression and an experiment in masonic philosophy. The Ideals of democracy, Freedom of expression, freedom of religion, and equality are all fundamental masonic ideals. When America was Created they were by no means Christian.

All of the Founding Fathers were Masons. Both the american revolution and the french revolution were engineered by the Masons. The Masons are generally Deists were as general Christianity is Theist.

The idea that America was Originally Christian came from the Masonic tendency to espouse Christian views to support their actions. However, this was basically a Ruse.

America is a Masonic Experiment which at this point is not known to be a success or a failure. If Fundamental Christians continue to gain Power in this Country it will surely be a failure.

My Pledge is to My Country not to A God

Who I am is not History. I am how I am now. When I make a Pledge to my Country I do not want to make a pledge to a God I do not believe in. The Pledge is to My Country, not to someone elses God.

Simply because you view 'God' as a Higher Power doesn't make it ok to force others to make some sort of Pledge that includes a God of your viewpoint. My God might be a Goddess. It maybe offensive to me to say God instead of Goddess. There is no reason to include anything regarding any sort of God in this Pledge. This is a Pledge to a Nation. Everyone who feels an allegiance to this Country should be able to say this Pledge without having to say anything that is offensive to their Religious beliefs.

I understand that people feel that saying "Under God" doesn't hurt anyone. But it is & they are hurting. This is how you feel, not how everyone feels .Many people feel that this Phrase Violates the Spirit of the separation of church and state. Even some people who do believe in God.
