STRAWMAN: THE THREAD
The video in the OP is absolutely retarded. For one, having the kids say "Under God" in the pledge isn't initiation into a life of religion. It's two words in a really old nationalist-based pledge, atheists are so anal about everything. Have your kids mouth the two words if you want or tell them to have their mouth closed for those two words. Like damn atheists, do you call the cops when you can't open a jar of pickles? Take shit into your own hands rather than contributing to what's bad in America. Religious people can be really stupid too but there's so many so that makes sense, atheists are so few in number and make a huge stink about everything.
And OP, your edit is completely non-credible. That's like those people who say that they can say nigger and aren't racist because they have black friends. If you aren't being anti-theist then no one would accuse you of it.

That phrase was originally not in the pledge, and was added in the 60's, it needs to be removed.

Well you're an asshole. American Atheists cry, American religious folk are often retarded. End of discussion. My edit does bring me credibility. And it was a forum cop who brought it to my attention, so I don't see what your problem is.

What are you saying?

Edited by Butters: 9/18/2013 2:06:38 AMThe video is just putting words into people's mouths. No one said atheists can't have rights, they said that they should still say the pledge. It's involved with nationalism, not religion, I don't see why religion was brought into it. The country was a lot more religious when it was added to the pledge and still has the majority who have a religion. And why is it a snobby sounding British person in it? Why do europoors suck American dick so much?

I considered you semi-serious until I read the last line. Lol'd 10/10

The last sentence was just added bait, the rest was serious. But accusing people of being a troll always is a very mature argument, I'll definitely not add you to the list of people to ignore.
