One of the things that’s being done in many places around the nation, even in churches and synagogues, is to have the children of the congregation, many as young as two, stand up and parrot the empty words of the Pledge of Allegiance and no, that isn’t photoshopped, those are real American Kids chanting words they didn’t understand to a graven image.
 
Right after the “attack” which is avowed as The Official Story Being True, (But the officials who tell the story also said that there were WMDs in Iraq and the Wars are about “freedom”… so, where do the lies end?) children in schools across the land supposedly came up with the idea, with no coaching from their parents or teachers, to have a synchronized chanting of the Pledge. As a show of “patriotism”. Kids who don’t know what death is, or any of the myriad twists and turns of the lies needed to start and sustain wars… told by their teachers to do this, and to lie to the world and say it was their own idea. And if they didn’t, they were “terrorists”. Now, who could find any fault with that?
How about maybe GOD? The Bible strictly prohibits making children swear oaths. Read the Laws of Moses before you jump down my throat about saying it.

Jewish kids say an oath, Bat Mitzvah for the girls and Bar Mitzvah for the boys, when they’re 13 years of age. The oath first Moses then Joshua had the people of Israel say. You see the cute little house sign that says “As for me, and MY house, we will serve the LORD”… without the rest of the stuff surrounding it like Joshua having anybody who didn’t swear the mitzvah killed. Seriously, if you read the Old Testament with open eyes, it ain’t going to be the same as they taught you in Sunday School.

Which is where Jews have an advantage, they don’t hold back and they do tell it like it’s written. Before they swear the Bar/Bat Mitzvah they have to study and be tested to see if they really know what they’re getting into. You can’t say later that you just didn’t know.

The oath is that you will from that day forth (“choose, now, who you will serve…”) obey every Law. So you have to KNOW every law.

There’s a catch to it, a huge gaping hole in it. Nobody ever kept the whole law, and swearing to do so but not doing it is a death-penalty offense. Sanhedrin after Sanhedrin have debated that point. Mostly because a lot of people in the world want to KILL a lot of other people in the world. And to feel no guilt about it.

So there’s a lot of noise bandied about in every religion that somehow there’s an amendment, an invisible escape clause, to the “Thou shalt not kill” command.

“Eye for an eye” keeps coming up. Doesn’t work. If “Eye for an eye” were applied, the only people who could legitimately be killed were the ones who pulled the trigger. Or in this case the airplanes. And they, according the Official And Not To Be Trusted Narrative, died with the others.

There are purification laws which allow you to not be killed for breaking the Law. These laws exist as part of Sha’aria as well so all y’all Islam Haters out ther can just suck it. Sha’aria and the Jewish laws are actually more civilized than for instance the Texas death penalty laws.

Now, the law also says that if you are guilty, with or without purification and redemption, of a death penalty law, you can not judge anybody else to death. “Judge not lest ye also be judged”.

Of course the sheer number of human beings put to death using the religious formula and, in contradiction of that formula, shows one important thing: No matter how pious the practioners of a religion seem to be there will always be those who just don’t give a fat rat’s as about what God has to say. Including having little kids mouth words of an idolatrous oath without understanding those words.

Strangely, one of the biggest “faults” many Christians find with the Jehovah’s Witness sect is that they refuse to say the Pledge of Allegiance. They also refused to say Heil Hitler which is really the exact same thing. And the saints in Rome who were fed to the beasts, crucified, murdered in many many unpleasant ways… not for being Christian or Jewish, Rome had a more liberal Freedom of Religion code than anything practiced in the United States.

They were killed not for praying to God but for refusing to pray or swear oaths to the Roman Emperor or the Empire, both of which were declared to be gods

Just like the Pledge of Allegiance.

Coercing the kids into doing it by making the most meaningful threat you could possibly make to a child “You won’t have any friends” is just plain rotten.

The so-called “patriots” who dreamed that shit up are pure low life SCUM and, in the level of their fanatic devotion to War and Hatred, they surpass the wildest accusation they make against Islam and the whole “72 virgins” schtick.
And, they do it in the name of my God and my nation.

And pull out all the other Right Wing Fascist slogans to justify it, like “My country, right or wrong” and “love it or leave it”. Those are the slogans of dictatorships.

If you’re going to use them, try real hard to think, I know it hurts your head to think but try anyway, and don’t give out any crap about you’re saying it for “freedom”.
