Amber, what if the pledge read Under Muhammad. Would your arguement still hold weight in your mind if the shoe was on the other foot?
I don't see how that makes any sense at all. That's like saying Under Noah..........same thing. Both prophets. Prophets were men sent by God with His message for mankind, but, they are *not* God, nor equal to Him. I believe Muhammad is a Prophet sent by God, but even then, I would object to the pledge saying under Muhammad, or under Moses, or under any other prophet. Yes prophets were great noble men, but they do not equate to God. They were people. They do not compare with God, and cannot be held as high as God either, so comparing a prophet to God in the issue of a pledge sounds plain silly to me.
