When I was on jury duty a while ago I didn't have to swear on any religious text, but part of the US oath is "so help me God"...do they not let you join if you're an atheist ?[reply]Harv.! @ September 5, 2010, 8:50 am
Official versions (changes inbold italics)
1892
"I pledge allegiance to my flag and the republic for which it stands: one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all."
1892 to 1923
"I pledge allegiance to my flag andto the republic for which it stands: one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all."
1923 to 1924
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States and to the republic for which it stands: one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all."
1924 to 1954
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands; one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all."
1954 to Present
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
These are the changes made to the pledge that make it more god fearing........ i don't know if u can get out of saying the words under god........... i wonder if Christopher Hitchens was given a pass? ......... I think most people who are officially allowed to speak these words just get on with it......... they don't mess about........ :-))
