i am stereotyping christians by saying that i guess...but it was more a comment on what i see often. not really an attack on christianity as a whole.
this is what i was getting at. i didn't mean you personally...i did edit that previous to now, 99civic_love got it in her quote of my text, but you read it before i made the change. i added that because after reading it, i realized my post sounded like i was attacking you, and that was not the intent at all.

I don't mind the pledge. Gosh, I don't even mind the "under god" part, even when the thought of "god" in the christian sense makes my stomach hurt. I always thought crossing your right hand over your heart was kind of, uhm, laughable. Taking off your hat, ok, that's etiquette though. People have poor manners now. I guess I was just taught common courtesy. This would include, with the lovely catholic upbringing, not to judge people. Now, I was the only one really listening in church, because they obviously didn't believe that when they told me I was going to hell...But, hey, I was an upstanding person. And I still believe in that. It's a can of freakin pepsi people. Who the hell cares.
Here's what I think: Pepsi wants to cash in on the clique of American "Patriots" bandwagon. It's like after 9-11 waving your flag around is the in-thing to do, but if you're not flamboyant about being an American that's UN-American. So now, Pepsi, makes their "patriotic" cans so that now, even driving a freak soda pop out of an aluminum can makes you a true American-or so they hoped. Plan All-American Co. fails when they don't consider that all the "reeeeeeeeal" americans are bible huggers that want their "under god" in their pledge. The other percent of americans, any other denomination, could care less what's in their pledge OR on their pepsi containers. This is probably why there are no patriotic Pepsi cans around. It's awful marketing. Why not just make in patriotic WITHOUT the pledge? Or how about just make it ORIGINAL.

I say we just steal a couple cases, empty them out and litter them along the road just to prove a point

And about the Pepsi can... seems more like an issue of changing the Pledge of Allegence than anything else. If Pepsi doesn't like it, they should print something else on the can, but don't change it unless it's officially changed!! my .02
