The poll is here. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10103424/

I got this because a 'friend' of mine sent this to all her 'Christian' friends to vote in favor of this stupidity. I had no idea I was friends with a christian. :(

Either way, these religious nuts stick together and look what the brainwashed people of America can accomplish when they want to.

77% want to keep it there? Morons.

To quote the marine dad from 'American Beauty'... "This country is going straight to hell"

I do not think the 77% wanting to keep it their are morons. I think the guy filing the suit is the moron.

I don't think having In God We Trust really hurts anyone but a bunch of crying bitches. But then again we are a country that preaches separation of church and state yet we let the moral values of christian clowns control us. So, I say remove it so we clear the gap some more.

Just out of curiosity, what would it cost your country to placate that one athiest?

Seems to me that changing out an entire currency would cost a few bucks.

It should be removed.

remove it.

never should'ved been added in the first place

Some people live their lives being troublemakers. This guy just needs a good ol' ass kick'n that's all. I assure you after that, he'll keep his mouth shut. Something about those folks in Northern Cali - they just don't know when to shut their trap :Oh crap

Agreed. I don't care if times have changed a bit. It's our fucking nation's motto. We're getting to fucking passive and letting whiny bitches whine. Get up, get over yourself. If you don't like it - leave. This country has good parts, and bad parts - but if you're well of enough to waste time whining about a religious subtext, I hope you get stabbed through the neck.

The guy is a doctor, and a lawyer. He is hardly a moron. :)

You guys would probably be the first complaining that we were wasting money on that instead of shoring up levies. :1orglaugh

You don't get out much if you think someone who is book smart can't still be a moron.

oh gimme a break. :1orglaugh

Yeah, I guess morons are all around us. :upsidedow

however a law degree, and medical is rather impressive IMO

LOL nice. i cant stop looking at properties up north... cant wait to smell my own farts

yeah we wouldnt want free Americans to speak out about their beliefs.

I agree.

And to the guy that asked about the amount of money it would cost. I could be mistaken, but I saw a show on The history channel that went inside Fort Knox, and US Mint companies and I think they change out the die stamps quite often as they get dull and worn pretty quickly. And they have a full staff of engravers making them that they then create the dies from, so I'd imagine within a year or two the sculptors could just stop adding "In God We Trust" to the originals.

I don't see how having the sculptor NOT add something would cost too much money.

This guy tied up the court system for four years trying to ban the Pledge of Allegiance from being recited in public schools. Now he's trying to get the printing on our currency changed. He's doing more than speaking out - he's a troublemaker and needs to be brought down to size. Like I said, some people live their lives being troublemakers!

How much court time has just the Christians alone taken up? I would dare to say a shits throw more than four years. Noone should be silenced in a free country.

This country going to heaven

Change it to "In Cod we trust"

Hey, everyone likes fish, right?

I agree that it should be there, but it needs some extra words.


" In God we Trust! All others pay Cash! "

You sound like a typical hypocrite Christian. "In God I trust and I'm gonna beat down any motherfucker who disagrees."

It's the crazy-ass god-worshipers who should be demanding its removal. If they were smart enough to understand their own god-damned religion, they'd realize that it's wrong to mention their god on currency.

Agreed. I hate fucking religious people but who the fuck cares if the currency says "In god we trust"? That is pretty fucking generic. It is hardly an endorsement of a particular religion.

Hey.. I like that. LOL

"In God I trust and I'm gonna beat down any motherfucker who disagrees"
I might start putting that in my sig. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I don't care if somebody disagrees, but don't waste millions of dollars tying up the court system over bullshit that really doesn't matter. That money could be better spent feeding or putting clothes on the needy, securing our borders or building more prisons for criminals!

Who gives a fuck what it says on our currency? I sure as hell don't! Some people need to get a fucking life instead of worrying about shit that doesn't really matter.

I say take a 2 X 4 and beat the shit out of all of them :winkwink:

God is dead

sometimes children need to be ignored. The vast majority who oppose this simple innocuous phrase, are losers. The same kind who blame the rich for their poor station in life.

Holy shit people have nothing to do... just leave it as it is, everybody is happy.

Why waste that much money

I was in Mackinaw Island a week or so back and one of the things I looooooooooooooooooooooooooove to hear is about how early settlers, "brought Christianity to the Indians (or whomever)" like this is a good thing.

Christianity, and organized religion as a whole, are responsible for some of the most despicable acts in human history. The fact that you get this reference 'brought Christianity' bullshit when you go to museums, and historic places, shows, docs, is a fucking crime.

:2 cents:

We spent $ Billions on printing a NEW currency for Iraq, remember...It will cost a bunch:helpme

U.S. dollars, 5 dollars, ect.. last less than 20 months in circulation. They introduce new coin lines all the time, last big run was one for every state. Which is a ton of unique coins.

It would cost them no more than it already does to reprint the money and cycle it in to the system. If they did a trade in for coins, they would make a profit on the extra metals they would collect that current coins don't actually have.

You guys should try reading something other than GFY sometimes.

actually, the vast majority of Americans believe in god.

Why? How?

I don't see what the big deal is. I don't believe in God but don't really care what it says on a bill. Both sides of the argument are retarded for caring. If your beliefs are compromised one way or the other based on what a dollar bill says on it, you have bigger issues. Reminds me of all those loons who cry that the cashier at Wal-Mart says "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas".

Only one thing is worse than religious nutjobs ... its the in your face athiests with an attitude the size of a small planet. The doorknocking christians have nothing on some of the anti religion guys who shove their opinions and anti religion rhetoric down people's necks any chance they get. Believe what you wanna believe and stop telling everyone else what to think.

God is an American and he hates blacks, dirty Mexicans and the Dutch.

I don't think God should be mentioned on money if you are an atheist or not.
Hell, God wouldn't want to be on money either if he exists.
Besides i find it ironic that money is technically isn't real and God is on it too.

Thanks you :thumbsup

you seriously take my breath away....

this reminds me of usa government sponsored abstinence programs created and supported by the religious right which will not provide food or farm aid to developing countries who do not teach abstinence. why not just give these countries money for food and clothes instead of holding it like a carrot on a stick unless they teach an ineffective Christian moral? why does a Christian moral need to be traded for the survival of needy people? get religious morals out of developing world assistance. people need to be fed.

If it costs too much to do it, don't. If not, remove god from my money please.

money = root of all evil = in god we trust

deep thoughts.. .

I hate the Dutch too. I like blacks and mexicans. In fact there are only two things I hate. People who are intolerant of other people, and the Dutch.
