                      It's God, not god in the Pledge by rwrannells2002-07-12 10:10:22
                        Tell that to Kipling by xti2002-07-12 10:50:57
                          Then why do people call him by Arcanum2002-07-12 10:55:48
                            It's like "mom" and "dad"... by xti2002-07-12 12:23:23
                              So you admit by Arcanum 2002-07-12 12:36:39
that "Mom" can be used as a name, even if it's not the person's "real" name?

The modification to the original Pledge was not intended to refer to the title "God", it was intended to refer specifically to the Judeo-Christian deity typically refered to by the name "God". Even if it did just refer to some arbitrary title, it still excludes a slew of polytheistic and other religious variants.

And before you try saying that allowing polytheism into our culture somehow degrades the country's ability to be Good and Right, keep in mind that most belief systems have essentially the same basic moral code, including the whole "do unto others..." thing.
