    “. . . one nation, indivisible . . .”

    That’s how I learned it, that’s what I believe, that’s how I still say it.

    The way it is, but it still has a ways to go; it’s a work in progress. Has been since 1776. Still it’s the best thing out there, even now.

    Our nation has been a work in progress since its founding in 1776. We still have a ways to go but it’s still the best governing system that History has ever seen.

    If you really read the pledge, everyone who says they respect the flag pledges liberty and justice for all. If that is not your pledge (no matter who you are), then it really doesn’t matter if you stand or kneel. Likewise if that is your pledge.

    Some thoughts…

    They used the anti-secular communist version from the 1950s not the original pledge.

    Nevertheless, the Christianizers were right: we are under God. All nations are under God. God is sovereign over all the earth, and all kingdoms and nations are under his dominion.

    My countrymen who disagree with my political ideology are still my countrymen. Our disagreements do not necessarily mean they do not love our country. Their accusations that I do not love our country do not necessarily mean that they do not love our country.

    This pledge (and the original one) can be said truthfully by many, perhaps most, Americans. We act like it cannot be said faithfully by our enemies; but if we are honest, I think we have to admit it can and is.

    However, I am loath to think it should be said truthfully by Christians like myself. Is pledging allegiance to anything less than God or something directly God-ordained ever right? I don’t think that I can accept this. Perhaps the real issue is that since most Christians I know appear to put this kingdom before God’s kingdom, I take a reactionary hard line against anything that looks too nationalistic. Pledging to our country can perhaps be always understood as being subject to Christians’ pledge to Christ. Either way, I think we need to be very careful with this.

    There is something about flags. We need to understand how powerful symbols really are. They are not just the basic pieces of cloth. There is a reason the pledge is written as it is.

    When I was little, “indivisible” was a really hard word. I still don’t come across it much.

    And it’s past time to get back to work.

    I don’t mind pledging to a republic but the flag part seems to confuse people. The “map is not the thing” as Noam Chomsky used to say when he was out drinking. :)

    I don’t pledge to the flag. The Constitution, yes.
