Is "In God we trust" appropriate?

[Sypherz]

Not everyone believes in a god. Atheists have the believe that it does not exict. I guess we need to take their considerations into mind. Its never bothered me though.

You sound like the people who get mad when someone says Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays.

Having in God we trust insults you, does it?

Well, not having it insults me.

People seem to think that only non religious people can get offended by religious things. Sadly, they're too stupid to comprehend the fact that religious people can be just as offended by non religious things.

So it's your right not to have it there? Well, it's mine to have it there.

The first amendment does not protect the practice of religion. There is nothing in the Constitution that says religious practice will not be outlawed. Instead it says that there will be no establishment of religion. The US is not a Christian or religious country no matter what the majority of the population believes and religious people have absolutely no right to practice their religion if it hurts others in any way or forces their beliefs on others. It is specifically stated that you can not do this in the Constitution (aka the establishment clause) so you argument that you have a "right" to have god on your money is baseless. If you can't deal with no having separation of church and state, move to Saudi Arabia.

Uhm, no.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Uhm, no.

Really? Fuck. A whole day of thinking I was cool. Regardless, that is a very weak point and it doesn't really change much regardless. Congress still bans all sorts of things that you could call "religion". I mean, you don't get to murder people just because you say you are exercising your religion.

in all honesty i don't think it is, what happened to seperation of church and state?

I think its better to just have a logo "Currency or Trust of United States" instead of that... because being a "free" country in all...
