Why Christians Should Not Recite the Pledge of Allegiance

- Charleston Voice -

The reason given here for not reciting the PoA is 'partially' correct. There is , indeed, little evidence that the US of A is a nation "under God". There are, however better reasons for a "Christian" not to recite the PoA.
1) It borders on Idolatry. You are promising to be loyal to a piece of cloth.
2) It is a "loyalty oath. This means that you are promising to be a good citizen of the USA, without even defining what that might mean. Can

See Mathew 5:33 and James 5:12.
3) It has a questionable history. As stated in the article, the original "salute" was the same one employed by the German National Socialist Party (Nazi) and the Roman empire. This is dempcracy?
4) Nothing in the PoA will make anyone a better citizen for saying it. Learning the US Constitution and Declaration of Independance are much better ways. Better to recite them, or the Gettysburg Address than the so called PoA.
