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?

They appear to lack your values as well, or did I miss where they included in documents that a pedophile is better than anyone else the other side?
 
So many gods, so many choices....

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.

How would you feel about "In Gods We Trust" as a replacement?

Would many folks lose their collective poopy over that change?

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. Well, we've moved from pictures to posts that don't address the thread subject. Your improving. I'll pray that one day you will be able to actually debate.

It doesn't matter. The founding fathers did not code this into law and they are now dead. Today's nation is pluralistic with the legal framework to support that.

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.

Ummmmmmm. God was referenced in our founding documents and is still there. Therefore, it is obviously sacred. We even display those founding documents with tons of security.

The Founding Fathers didn't get the memo that voting for a pedophile is 150% better than voting for a Democrat.

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.

You mean our founding fathers who went with "E Pluribus Unum" as our motto through an act of congress in 1782?

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?

How do you address references to God in our founding documents. They have nothing to do with money and greed.

Our founding documents should never be changed, ever. That would be changing history.

The founding documents are historical record.

Why change them at all.

Your OP mentions nothing about such things.
You're shifting goal posts here.

A Budhist is a Budhist is a Budhist. Either you refer yourself as to that or you don't. To be fair in this discussion, believe it or not, I don't identify with any religion either. They all get things wrong.

Debate what? If it should be on the money. I could care less as long as we all remember......


We are not a Christian nation

I am more of a buddhist than anything else

What about on money?

Well, that is a good and legitimate question. Obviously, money has already been changed numerous times. But, our founding documents should never be changed. That's why I split up the choices in the poll.
