Billy Graham convinced Eisenhower that we needed to add, “In God we trust”, saying that it would make us a more moral Nation. Then you see politicians taking oaths of office that they won’t follow on bibles…
The words “under God” should be removed from the Pledge; it should go back to the way it was originally written (pre-1954). The words “in God we trust” should be removed from our currency – those words are ironic.

I learned it as “one nation, indivisible”. That’s how I still say it, and not just out of habit.

With liberty and justice for those who can afford it would be closer to the mark.

Time to decide if we really want to be one nation or not. If not, its gonna get a lot uglier.
