Pledge of allegiance and prayer

     
      NOTE:  The following is my own response to the overly-heated American controversy of prayer in the general public domain and the common usage of the present American "Pledge of Allegiance" that is also imposed without equal and due respect for the individual and equal rights of every single individual citizen.  I propose that the following be used in place of either the present allegiance and/or the use of any prayer in the public domain.  It is an universal declaration of the equality of all members of the human race that could and should be applied most anywhere in this grand world of ours.  A world divided is a world at war with itself.

Pledge of allegiance and prayer

     
     


          As an equal member of the universal human race I do pray for and pledge my allegiance accordingly:

          I recognize that EVERY member of the human race is created equally and is fully entitled to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness as determined by NO other external moral authority except that of each individual member of the human race’s own individually determined and inalienable right of free choice and expression.

          I hereby proclaim that there is NO other god except that one individual god that I have freely chosen to or not to worship, and that my own god of choice or lack thereof has no moral and/or political authority over any other member of the human race.  I fully respect that every other member of the human race has the same and equal freedom of choice, and do hereby pledge to never interfere nor pass any form of judgment on any of my neighbors for expressing his or her own freely determined and individual choice in all matters of his or her own individual spirituality.

          I freely pledge my allegiance to my own government so long as my government fully and equally respects my own inalienable rights and does not interfere in any manner nor pass any laws that prohibit or limit my inalienable and individual right to determine my own destination in ALL matters of living, so long as in doing so, I do not interfere with those same inalienable rights of every other member of the human race, equally and without exception, and over which there is NO absolute moral authority.

          I accept and expect that the judgment of my peers will be equal to my own freely expressed thoughts and deliberate behavior in that:

            1.  Should I take the life of any other member of the human race; I should expect that my own life be sacrificed for the good of all—the only exception being an act of self-defense.  An act of war is no exception.

            2.  Should I openly and/or publicly deny the individual lifestyle of any other member of the human race; I would expect that I should be equally denied the right to live my own life in the prescribed manner of my own individually expressed determination.

            3.  Should I openly or publicly denounce the manner in which any member of the human race, privately and without malice or harm to his or her neighbors, expresses or lives their own life; I would fully expect and accept to be equally and absolutely denied my own right of free expression outside the bounds of my own private domain.

            4.  Should I deliberately and without equal respect for any of my neighbors, denounce, deny, physically or materially relieve them of any right to their life, liberty, property or thought; I do fully expect that an equal measurement of the same violation be taken from my own life, liberty and/or property and be fully and equally restored to the victim’s own private domain without exceptions.

          WITH ALL OF THIS HAVING BEEN FREELY EXPRESSED, I hereby pray that I and every other member of the human race be granted, without exception, the individual strength and determination to respect and live by this pledge of allegiance and prayer that should be equally applied to all members of the human race and without any exceptions.
