BoogeyMan 0 #9 February 7, 2012 It's only the atheists, who are scared shit-less that they might be wrong, who push this kind of unnecessary nonsense. That's why the Athe-shits are so demanding of "proof" of God. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it's only the religious nuts, who are afraid there is really no God, who need constant suggestions that there is. The people who are confident in their beliefs don't need any reminders.

So, you're saying that there are nuts on both side of the question? Those who need proof, and those who want reinforcement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When folks visit foreign lands, rarely do they actually read, or even give two shits about the design of currency. Just that it is spend-able. If you want to buy a loaf of bread, then concern yourself with the loaf. Not the bread........ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diverborg 0 #15 February 7, 2012 If I can't look at a dollar bill and see "In God We Trust" on it, then I don't know what to believe anymore. I'll probably end up turning atheist without this daily reminder. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy9o8 0 #21 February 7, 2012 It should be banned, and all money bearing the motto should be de-circulated. The motto was adopted in clear violation of the Establishment Clause of the Constitution. Federal court decisions have been split, but those that have ruled otherwise have been intellectually dishonest. And it should be done now. Attrition is for pussies. Will it cost money to do it that way? Hell, yeah. Well, tough shit; the right wing fuckers should have thought of that first. We should impose a tax to get the job done. We'll pay for the tax by de-commissioning one of the aircraft carrier battle groups that we don't really need. Freedom of religion also means freedom FROM religion. And freedom isn't free! Yeah, baby. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
