It is a rather simple question. Do you have an answer or not?

Yes, it should be removed. It was only placed there in the 50s, so time to take it off.

I was just posting a response to someone in another thread and this question popped into my mind. The left really seem to have gone very anti-God and anti religion so, should all references to God be removed from our money and founding documents?

Actually, God does not imply Christian. The money does not say, "In Jesus We Trust". There is a god or gods in pretty much every religion.

That's fine, but it doesn't work for the Buddhists, Hindus, Atheists, etc, as well. They are also part of this country.

An actual Christian country would never have Trump as it's president, that is for sure. So we may as well drop the pretenses.

But you think that an actual Christian country would allow baby killing by voting in Hillary or one of the 2020 candidates? Did it ever occur to you that, if their is a God, God pushed the buttons to make sure that a baby killer did not become president and RvW could be overturned?

But the country was founded on religious freedom. Religion implies a God or gods of some sort.

That is a weak argument.

The country was founded on religious freedom agreed, and the Supreme Court has ruled consistently that government should not prefer one religion to another, nor prefer religion to the absence of religion. The 1st Amendment does not say you have to speak, just that you have freedom of speech. Same principle applies, you do not have to have religion just that you have religious freedom.

The moment you go down this road of dictating standards is the moment you weaponize rights, and we have had enough of that **** already.

Including the freedom from religion.

So to include all Americans and their religious freedoms we don't need to endorse God on our money or documents.

Abortion hasn't been stopped by voting Trump in and RvW isn't going anywhere. ;)

So yes, God in her infinite wisdom knew either way, Trump or Hillary, that abortion in the United States wasn't going anywhere.

I'm just going to take your word for the dates you mentioned. That means that even 85 years after and even 181 years after our founding fathers, our country still felt it relevant that we trusted in God, not to mention that our founding fathers referenced God in our founding documents.

I'm not sure why this even matters. Thete are so many different gods it becomes irrelevant

You are sooooo easily triggered.

Life is so much better when you don't get so angry at everything.

Maybe you should pray on it.
 
:lol:

It's actually pretty funny, now that I think about it, that the person who actually said a pedophile in office is better than any democrat, has the balls to act like "In God we Trust" is sacred.

Revelation 22:14-17

Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.” The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.

Then why did our founding fathers feel it important to reference God in our founding documents? Is it perhaps because they lacked your 2019 values?

So, do you have an answer to the question?

As the country evolves, and things move forward, we'll all be using cash less and less until one day there will be almost no need for cash at all.

I'd bet many of us use a credit/debit card for well over 80% of all purchases/payments right now.

So the money thing won't be an issue one day.

But in general, I could care less either way. Remove it, leave it, change it to Gods. Change it to Satan for all I care.

If I had a book of things to care about, the "in god we trust" thing might be a few thousand pages back.

It's really not a concern of mine at all.


I do enjoy the irony of the whole thing.

In my mind, a true believer should really and honestly desire to have that phrase removed.
A true believer would not want the name of god on any form of currency or government document.

Think about it.

It's quite humorous.

The corruption, lies, power, and greed.
Isn't money the root of all evil?

Taking the Lord's name in vain?

:naughty :naughty

Take a look at a coin with "In God we Trust" and say three hail Mary's.
