Let's look at it this way; America is a religious country. In fact they believe they owe all what they are worth to God (And I strongly believe this is one of the main reasons why America has remained world number one power for so long despite all the attacks and attempts to change this) Yet they know where to draw the line between being religious and being fanatic. They know when religion should come in and when it shouldn't. That to me, is worth emulating. The military is a sensitive part of any government. The strength of a county's military determines the overall strength of that country. They are wise enough to know that only God gives absolute victory, hence forcing their soldiers to acknowledge this power. Nothing wrong there at all. |

When you don't have anything to say or empty up there you start insulting people. America wasn’t founded as a Christian nation and many of our beloved Forefathers sadly were not, yet America was largely comprised of Believers. Liberty allows us to worship freely or not at all per conscience. America was never meant to be theocratic or homogenous religiously, but Christianity has always been indelible to our social fabric. http://www.forbes.com/sites/billflax/2012/09/25/was-america-founded-as-a-christian-nation/ 1 Like |

cold: That means you don't even have a clue to what is responsible. You are like this. Someone came up and said gravity makes bodies fall to the ground when they are thrown up then you come to say it is a lie. Then they ask you what is your proof then you say you have no proof. |

If spaghetti monster grants victory, no problem! Americans are just acknowledging their source. That's all. |

the last time I checked, God is not affiliated to any religion. Stop claiming God, if you can not do what He tells you to do. He does not change, so he cannot be coloured by any religion. |

cold: I am not here to argue for my God or speak for Him. I am also not the type that force him down people's throat. It is a choice you are free to believe what you like or not to believe it. If a nation adopts a system of practise like America has adopted democracy and the majority are christian and now choose to have God in their currency then he should leave because he's minority. If Saudi Arabia's law is based on tenets of Islam and they say a woman must use the hijjab then if you are not comfortable as a woman leave or don't go there. |

Please note that nobody is being forced here. The rule whether constitutional or conventional states that everybody must say "so help me God". Whoever doesn't do this is not obeying the rules. To me this's a question of having the soldier obey the rules. |

zicky: . You just expose your foolishness, were your fore-fathers not worshiping a god before the white came to African, was the god black or white ? I'm sure our forefathers' idea of a God was black, especially since I haven't heard of them bowing down to a white idol in the past. Obviously that was before your white masters came to remove that and replaced it with another idol of Mary and others. just saying 2 Likes |

Watching Nigerians insist on points of American history is... strange. They teach us US history from the time we enter primary school. I even took Advanced Placement US Government & Politics and AP US History in high school, but I am learning new things on this thread. *popcorn* Disclaimer: the last part was sarcasm. 1 Like |

Every country in the world watches American politics because it affects most other countries.....we have many global businesses tied to the price of a dollar. So, it is not surprising that Nigerians or Ghanaians or Aurstralians insist on points of American hstory/politics |

fairari022: sir, with due respect, the US constitution does not in all ways apply to those under the uniform code. when you swear the oath of allegiance, in the end you must say "help me God" . i have done this before and it has no restriction to anybody. athought, after then you can choose whether or not to practice any religion. You have no idea what you are talking about. Nothing circumvents the constitution and the supreme courts. Nothing. So please, sharrap |
