One Nation Under God

In high school before every competitive game the home team would take a moment to pray. They would ask for strength, courage and for victory. On the other side of the gym the opposing team was praying for the exact same thing.
So began our egocentric propensity to dominate and or conquer other's under-deified justification.
God is never on "their" side. We can usually justify a loss by blaming someone on our team for a lack of faith or effort. God always loves us more than them, and we will always have a scapegoat to blame our shortcomings. Because if God is for us who can be against us?
Our enemies believe the exact same thing.
The Christians believe that they are right, Buddhists believe that they are right. You believe that you are right. I know that I am right. Everyone has the truth but each side has conflicting stories. Based on that premise we are all equal. Our country grants us the freedom to express such beliefs. Flawed as they may be.
"One Nation under God" means that we are privileged to live under a set of laws that grants us the freedom to grow and believe as an individual.
"One Nation under God" does NOT mean that a Christian deity rules over our nation and authorizes us to claim dominance over all those who oppose or believe contrary.
Those who fly the flag and claim to be American yet condemns anyone who does not believe exactly the way they do are NOT American. They are egocentric fools desiring to conquer and force conformity under deified justification.
I pledge my allegiance to a set of laws or principles that promise equality, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to all. I do NOT pledge my allegiance to any person just because they claim to be a spokesperson for that nation.
So if I am flying the flag at my house don't assume that I support Bush or that I am a Christian or that I am straight. I may be none of the above. ( I am none of the above)
I am an American. I support your right as an American citizen to believe as you wish. Even if what you believe is stupid
