I think I'm serious about this...has anyone ever proposed this as a viable alternative?
Would religionists object to it being "love?" Since they really believe God is love, I can't see why the wouldn't. I'd think any objection would reveal that their real agenda is in wanting to force people to say "God."
Wouldn't be great to reinforce the primacy of love in our country?Last edited by Boris Godunov; December 12, 2003, 20:11.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

I like "one nation under Zeus." That should win us some friends over in Greece, the Western world's *first* democracy.

The energy that has been wasted on this issue could probably give free electricity to a mid-size town for a year or two. Do you americans never come up with any important issues to talk about?

That's no different then what we already say Boris. Why then would we need to change the pledge?Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Aetheist accept the existance of the emotion of love, not God. Thus they are NOT the same thing- beside,s there are religious traditions in which love and God are not the same, or there can be.Originally posted by Ben Kenobi

The irony of it all is that it seems way, way too few people bother to care when actual liberty is limited, but hey, you better not touch our precious symbols like pledges, anthems, flags and what have we... it would be amusing if it wasn't so damn sad.
And that's not just an American thing, I might add.Comment

What GePap said. It would accomodate everyone in the Pledge, not just religionists.Originally posted by Ben Kenobi

But thank you for providing my point--since religious people view God as love, saying "Love" would be no different for them. Ex-cellent.Last edited by Boris Godunov; December 12, 2003, 20:12.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

When debating Michael Newdow. And at other times, a minority is denying the majority it's right to recite the pledge, according to Hannity.When did Hannity ever say the majority of STUDENTS want 'under God' in the pledge?Comment

a minority is denying the majority it's right to recite the pledge, according to Hannity.
Which doesn't say a majority of students. I interpreted those words to mean the parents of the kids (who make up the majority) who want the kids to recite the pledge. That the majority that is being denied (since kids are full legal persons they are represented by their parents).“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Well the original post nor anything else in this thread said that.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
