    Students of history will notice what’s missing from the text on this antique tin… (Taken with Instagram at Bart’s Flea Market)

    ah yes, the original and best pledge, the way it was meant to be. 

    ^wrong. our nation was founded under God and christianity. it should stay that way. not forcing it upon everyone, we have the right to choose. but it should stay.

    *Facepalm*

    You know “under God” was added in 1954, right? The original pledge, written by Francis Bellamy in 1892, read: “I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

    Nothing about God or even America… huh.

    Now, lets talk about when God was added to our money……

    You know people, don’t shout out your bull unless you know your history. Don’t even get me started on how this nation was founded on Christianity, because thats FAR from true. Many of the founding fathers were decidedly NOT Christian.

    If you REALLY want to get down to brass tacks, not even all the “pilgrims” were on the same side of the Bible. There Puritans and Strangers. 

    A little research and some common sense can really save you from looking like a tool. 

    Heres founding father T.J:

    Lets see what some other founding fathers had to say about Christianity:

    OOOOOOHHHHHH    DAMN!

    And finally, a compilation, to make it easy for you
