Pledge

<< < (2/4) > >>

Cake Faice:
I really hate people like those who claim themselves as an "atheist" just for the sole purpose of arguing. Ugh, it's not really the right time to make stupid arguments about a 10 second repeat-after-me speech.

Here, we have to stand but the teacher doesn't really care if you wanna say the pledge or not, and I really don't care if the word god is in it, or on the dollar bill, or any other shit. It's just tradition.

Also what Deacon said about wanted attention for his alternative view.

blαh2355:
In our school, no one really says the words except teachers and the announcement but we still stand up and hands over hearts. For me, I'm not too big on American patriotism.

pyrosheep:
I'm an Atheist but I just stand, put my hand over my heart, and I just simply don't say it.
I stand up out of respect for people that fight/fought for our country.

Juan_Ambriz:
I too agree with what deacon said. Also I haven't done it since elementary school 0_0  I didn't know people still did it past.

HideoKojima:
(Agnostic ftw)

When I turned Atheist I did the same shit. Would just mumble/open and close mouth/not say it.

Some people stare at him and he gets in a heavy argument with the teacher that since the Pledge includes "God", he has the right not to pledge since he has different religious views. A couple of days later the whole class , excluding myself and two others, sit and talk during the pledge. I don't know if the pledge is part of federal conduct in US schools so asdf. Our school does it every morning but I'm not sure how it is in others.

Do any of you guys have a pledge or anthem you must recite? Is my class atheist a smug bastard?


Discuss.

Your post is somewhat vague, did he start the argument or what the teacher getting on his case?

You could mark him down for not listening to the teacher, then again its against his beliefs so he really shouldn't have to do it.(Though I imagine he's probably juat being edgy.)

Too be fair, Christian/other types of religious people can be just as bad. You can say you are atheist or even just state you don't believe in god and they will often give you a whole lecture about your ruining your life/why you should believe.
