From: To: Date: Wed 19 Sep 2001 10:51:18 EDT ================================================ I went to several different private "Christian" schools, and we always said the pledge to the American flag. Am I being too nosy if I ask what religion you were raised in?

Pledging allegiance to a flag was considered idolatry, and a sin. Something about how people should worship ONLY God, nothing and no one else, including the flag and the country... that everything else is secondary... the whole religion is basically a complete misinterpretation of just about everything, imo. (Do you know how weird it makes a kid feel to be the ONLY student who had to stay seated and silent during the Pledge and the singing of "My Country Tis of Thee" in the first grade? When I moved back in the 8th grade, everyone remembered me as "the girl who couldn't say the Pledge of Allegiance").
