what pets me the wrong way - part 7: "one nation under [censored]"

"one nation under [censored]"

removing "god" from "one nation under god" is stupid and pointless. it is a generalization. whatever
you "worship" or idolize is the "god" it refers to. if you worship celebrities then they are your "god". if you worship allah then that is your "god". nobody in this universe has a reasonable argument on that subject as every living thing has someone or something that they idolize or worship. to your pets YOU are their "god". to the ants the queen is their "god". to water hydrogen and oxygen is its "god". it refers to both a supreme creator AND an image of hope, faith, good will, and motivation. it does not matter whether there is a god or who god is or what certain religions and regular individuals would say their god is; the fact is that its a frivoless effort on a completely unimportant subject. you want to talk turkey here? try the rise in crime rate, the increase in americans without homes, banks selling bad loans to people, our military ruining other countries and innocent people, our massive debt problem, the corporate institutions slowly destroying the good American name by sawing the corporate ladder in half and welding the glass ceiling shut. focus on something that MATTERS people, not FOUR WORDS that were meant to inspire courage and valor to those feeling oppressed and in need of hope. im not saying that the hate and anger is wrong; im saying that it should be redirected at something that deserves it. like racism, ignorance, bullying, the criminal justice system, cuts to funding for single mothers and sick children; hate where it BELONGS.
