one nation under god?

One Nation under God? One nation under God. Which god? The god of ambition, the Internet, porn, reality shows. Which god are we under. This nation was built on freedom to worship as we please. We have used that premise to our advantage. We live with wiccans, atheists, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, New Agers, various Indian ways, star gazers, crystal gazers, etc. etc.. etc. Thank God we can worship whatever we want. That leaves the privilege of worshiping Him open and accessible. We started this country with great ideals, that is nothing to be ashamed of. We started this country with religious freedom in mind,(for the puritans only, apparently) something to be proud of. We wanted the privilege of worshiping the true God. Fantastic. But we also made allowances (eventually) for any one with different few points to able to bow down towards Mecca, a crystal rock, a burning cauldron or a totem pole. Though in the beginning the colonists flogged those with different views, similar to the persecution they fled from. Quakers faced persecution when they migrated to America. The first Friends in the New World came in order to spread their beliefs. In 1656 Mary Fisher and Ann Austin did so, and were imprisoned and banished by the Puritans of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The first Baptists in America were people fleeing religious persecution, seeking freedom of conscience and religious liberty for all persons. Most did not find it in colonial New England. How can we possible pledge allegiance to one nation under God when we have so many to choose from and can't even agree with each other? It's against our constitution to combine state and religion so we can't possibly define what is meant by "God". When the courts took prayer out of our schools, (we can still pray wherever we want, we just can't do it over the public speaker system) they had to take "God" out of the pledge of allegiance. If we were one nation under God school prayers wouldn't be a problem Even alcoholics anonymous, started by Christians, can't reach people with "God".. They refer to a higher power, what ever we choose to be our higher power. They can't consistently say "God". They just hope that God is understood. Coming to America we thought it our duty to wage a holy war with the Indians. The old testament had the Israelites destroying the pagans and overturning their temples. That was under the letter of the law, under the law of the spirit Jesus's last words to us were, Go into the world teaching them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Where did it mention annihilating them? No wonder the Indians didn't see any difference in our religion compared to theirs. We are a melting pot of idols, melted down and poured into molds of our choosing. We are diverse in our believes and standards. We can't even agree on a president. And once one is voted in we can't back him. Even among Christians there is no agreement. Some believe in a trinity, some don't, some believe once saved always saved, some don't. Some believe in homosexuality, some don't. Some believe in sinless souls, sinful flesh, some don't. Some believe in war, some don't. If they're not against us they're for us, Jesus informed his disciples. It's not important to agree on all the issues. Just agree he's the way, the truth and the life. I'm proud of my country but one nation under God? It doesn't exit. What does exit? One planet under God. We may not all see eye to eye but that isn't necessary for the creator. We are all under his guidance. We are slowly slipping into the fulfillment of His plans. Plans designed centuries ago. They are unraveling like a carpet. No matter what part of the globe you're on. No matter that your country faces east, west, and south or north, you're under God. He's everywhere, he sees everything. He knows everything. Whether you believe he exists doesn't matter. He exists. You'll find out soon enough, not necessarily in time. One nation under God, wrong. One world under God, now that I’ll buy.
