Does having In God We Trust on your money really offend you? If it does, let me know, and come next December I will come cement a manger scene in your front lawn.

No guesses on Ron Paul - he voted for the bill, to keep the religious wording.

I wouldn't care if our money had a picture of Hitler fisting a donkey. As long as it spends, I'm happy.

Why is the motto of America "In god we trust" apparently it was changed to that in the 50's from e pluribus unum which is a far better motto. So with America being all about separation of church and state wtf?!

this is why we have to be vigilant about keeping the religious at bay and intruding into what should be neutral territory concerning fairytale beliefs.

Why does the term "god" have to have only religious connotations? Why can't one believe one is the master or "god" of their on universe and the term would imply they trust only in themselves? Or if "god" is symbolism for "truth" and only to trust in what you know as truth? Seriously the entire fucking premise of this thread, the person who brought it up and everyone who bitches and moans only about the various churches/religions views on the term "god" is an annoying piece of shit.

The US is not a Christian nation, but a lot of people here in it believe that it is and want to force that belief down everyone's throats.

It was the start of the dumbing down of the right. Tea Baggers would never tolerate latin on their money.

In God We Trust is for our currency, since it's not backed by anything other than faith.

It would actually be better if it had "We kicked the Brit's ass so we have Dollars rather than Pounds" on the bills and coins.

He once told me that he's actually an obese 22 year old internet nerd who just plays an SAS character in online video games. He actually works in a comic book store.

I think it's good that we also don't have an Overlord on all of our money, like the British do with their monarch worship. It's pretty disgusting.
