You people are so pathetic. Oh, I'm going to get all pissy over four little words typed on a piece of paper! Stop being a whiny bitch. I couldn't care less wether it was removed or they started printing something like, "In atheism/science we trust".

Jesus did some jackass look at the dollar and say ''oh hey that ain't fair I better take this to court!'' My goodness where are the real atheists that didn't care. They were just people who accepted how the world was and saw life in their own way, their own views without worrying about how society was. As the years come by people just bitch more and more about ''their rights'' and their ''1st world problems'' and are only expanding the [b]pussification[/b] of America and the world.

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_God_we_trust#History]"WAAAA RELIGION IS TRYING TO BRAINWASH US! IT WAS OBVIOUSLY PUT THERE BECAUSE CHRISTIANS WANT A FOOTHOLD AGAINST ATHEISTS! WAAAA!"[/url] [quote]The phrase appears to have originated in "The Star-Spangled Banner", written during the War of 1812. The fourth stanza includes the phrase, "And this be our motto: 'In God is our Trust.'" According to Ted Alexander, Chief Historian at Antietam National Battlefield, the contracted "In God We Trust" was first used by the 125th Pennsylvania Infantry as a battle cry on September 17, 1862, during the Battle of Antietam of the American Civil War. [/quote] You people are worse than those fools who think the "One nation under God" part of the pledge is also trying to force Religion down peoples throat. Soon you're going to want to teach U.S. History that the pilgrims had no religious significance. Get over yourselves, religious quotes are a part of U.S. history, there's no secret christian conspiracy that gathers under the full moon, plotting against your beliefs and trying to brainwash you and your children, but [i]God[/i] damn you sure wish there was just so you could have some ground in this stance against [u]history[/u].

Most Idiotic lawsuit ever, and your a moron for supporting this trash.

Except....DING DING DING, Currency is not federally regulated!

Ok, here we go... First of all there is a giant misunderstanding of what separation of church and state really is. Separation of church and state was NOT established to keep the church out of government, it was to keep the government out of the church. This is why we see most lawsuits against religious insignia's in government failing, because there is no real basis for them, since we are entitled to freedom of speech. These religious insignia's are not an endorsement of religion, or an attempt to push/force that religion on someone else. [u]As a side note, a modern example of separation of church and state being used in its proper meaning are the current lawsuits against the U.S. government which is forcing PRIVATE religious institutions to provide contraceptives to its employees, even if it against their religion.[/u] Now as far as the constitution goes... I am a HUGE believer in the constitution, in fact I carry it everywhere in my pocket. However having "In God We Trust" on our money is in no way a violation of any article of the constitution. Also what does "In God We Trust" endorse? A particular religion? Or does it endorse the acknowledgement of the existence of a god, or higher being? I think it implies the latter. Now in my opinion there is nothing wrong with that, because our founding document, the Declaration of Independence, acknowledges MANY times the existence of a god or higher being. For example: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed[b][u] by their Creator[/u] [/b]with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of[b] [u]Nature's God[/u] [/b]entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." These are just a couple examples. As you can see our nation was founded on many things, one of them is that we recognize the existence of a higher being. Now no where in the constitution does it say that the government of the United States cannot recognize the existence of a higher being; and as I've shown above our founding document recognized the existence of a higher being. Now as an atheist this might bother you, however it is not a violation of any laws or founding documents. You may still find it offensive, but there is nothing illegal going on here, which is why this case will fail. Also the recognition of the existence of a higher being does NOT endorse a particular religion, nor does it force U.S. citizens to agree with it's government on this (Beauty of freedom :D). All it does is, again, recognize the existence of a higher being. On another note I saw someone bring up the Pilgrims and try and use it as an example of why we SHOULDN'T have "In God We Trust" on our money...this is invalid in my opinion. The Pilgrims fled England to try and have religious freedom, not freedom from religion. They were being persecuted by the English government and the church of England and being told they were not aloud to have the beliefs that they had. This is not comparable AT ALL to the money issue. The government of the United States is NOT persecuting people who disagree by having "In God We Trust" on the money, nor is it saying "you cannot believe what you believe, you MUST agree with us!" If you honestly feel persecuted by the wording on the money... I just...I don't even know what to say to you... I'm sure you'll argue all of this, but I believe my argument is reasonable and holds firm in facts. Just my perspective though, you have the right to your opinion, it is America after all :) TLDR; I think the OP is wrong...

As a believer in God, I agree with this 150%.

what would they do about all of the money already in circulation?

You know, I'm pretty sure there are better uses of tax dollars than destroying all currency currently in place, and replacing it with a slightly different version.

Out of all the religious atrocities they could've picked, they decide to go with this nuance. It's literally one frivolous phrase on your notes. I bet half of you don't even notice it 99% of the time.
