RT if you hear the word “GOD” during the Pledge of Allegiance at the Democrat National Convention. I can’t hear it!! Am I going crazy? If you’re an Evangelical Christian & you hear the word GOD, you must vote for Biden, because Satan has put a spell on me!

The Democrats took the word GOD out of the Pledge of Allegiance at the Democrat National Convention. At first I thought they made a mistake, but it wasn’t. It was done on purpose. Remember Evangelical Christians, and ALL, this is where they are coming from-it’s done. Vote Nov 3!

And the preachers will help spread the word - this will be repeated from countless pulpits tomorrow morning.

He’s pulled some “who you gonna believe, me or your lyin’ eyes?” before, but this seems especially blatant.

(Leaving aside that the Trump Cult will still believe him.)

flip on Fox news and nothing else but Gunsmoke will believe it. I was going to say the Waltons but that is to liberal for them.

And his base laps it up.

Hey Righties! We even had ordained ministers leading an invocation!

But since none of them watched one minute of it, they believe whatever their Cult Master tells them.

10. Origens of the pledge of allegiance

The pledge was written in 1892, and originally, it did not contain the word "God." It was created during a period of large immigration into the US. It was meant for school children.

I personally never say the pledge, although I stand in respect, while others recite it. The flag is merely a colored cloth that SYMBOLIZES American values of liberty and justice. Those values are not inherently in the piece of cloth, but in the hearts and minds of Americans, who cherish those values.
