God and Money

[topless_mike]

why cant this guy just get sucked into a black hole already?

he wants "in god we trust" off of money because it violates his first right amendment.
fine. then give me your money.

story (http://www.ktvu.com/news/14769671/detail.html)

same guy that tried to get "under god" pulled from the pledge.

why cant we just leave shit like this alone? it hasnt bothered anybody for ages, now all of a sudden we have beef with it?

i understand forward thinking, but damn... some things should be left as is.
whats next? the flag? maybe florida resembles a penis, and somebody finds that offensive, so we'll just re-do the land to cater to them.

im sure my usual opponents will chime in shortly...

[Dougie Brootal]

"Under God" was added to the pledge to draw a distinction between us and the godless commies, and as an atheist, I had to stand up and listen to that non-sense everyday in school. It's silly, get rid of it.

I hope someone else can chime in and say something about The Yellow Brick Road and the move away from the gold standard and how "In God We Trust" was another political marketing campaign. I'm no great student of history.

"In God We Trust" was officially made the national "motto" in 1956, pretty much under the same banner as "under God." It had been appearing on various forms of our currency, however, since the Civil War due to movements by various religious figures and groups appealing for it during "our time of crisis." It was officially added to our money in 1908.

[TheMojoPin]

And it's a fallacy to say that "this didn't bother people for ages." Teddy Roosevelt himself thought it was something that cheapened the phrase, and pointed to numerous passages in the Bible specifically that forbid the "trvial" use of God's name.

FACE.

Why do you hate God so much?

[Gvac]

Just think of all the "In God we trust...all others pay cash" signs that will have to be taken down in stores all across the land.

I shutter at the thought.

[TheMojoPin]

Why do you hate God so much?

He owes me 2 dollars.

[Recyclerz]

I'd like to take the position that it makes God our co-signer for all the loans we have outstanding to the Saudis, Japanese and Chinese. Let them go get back their money from Him.

And a leaky, STD infected one at that. Eliminate the keys!



And it is pathetic that in 2007 we still have the equivalent of the Olympus gods etched in so much of our everyday lives and even our American currency, but what are you gonna do? It's ingrained into our society and no one will have the common sense or balls to get rid of it for a long time.

Take out In God We Trust, and replace it with Ass Gas or Grass No One Rides For Free.

I forgot you dont call your men "things"

Ironically enough, that is more accurate. Sex, Drugs and things we need to get around - that's what most of us spend our money on.

[Zorro]

"Don't come knockin if this bill's a rockin"

[DolaMight]

What about replace in god we trust with "My Boss is a Jewish Carpenter"

[CaptClown]

As long as he pays for it and my money still spends the same. What do I care?

[epo]

I think we should leave it on. It keeps the rubes happy.

So did voting for Bush in 2000 & 2004, and look where that got us.

Take it off.

Ha! Flushing is the prostate!

[Gvac]

In all seriousness, as far back as 1776 our Founding Fathers had the foresight to not use the name "God" in the Declaration of Independence, referring simply to "Our Creator."

all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights


This was to ensure that everyone understood the government was not the ultimate force in the land and to limit their power.

Too bad most people seem to have forgotten this.

[TheMojoPin]

Forgotten what?

Does God have some kind of Capitol Hill office?

[Gvac]

Go back and read my post again.

Reading comprehension, my dear Mojo.

[TheMojoPin]

Go back and read my post again.

Reading comprehension, my dear Mojo.

It still doesn't make any sense to me. How does acknowledging some kind of god limit the powers of government?

[Bossanova]

as long as I can spend it on liquor, cigars and whores. I don't care what it says

[Gvac]

That's not what I said. I said the Founding Fathers were careful not to use "God" but merely "our Creator."

They were saying we are born with certain rights, they're not granted to us by a government.

People are far too willing to have their government tell them what they can and can't have.

That is all.

Nothing religious, I assure you.

I wasn't taking issue with it being religious, just that I had no idea what you were saying.

Of course, the larger issue is that we hae no "rights" unless they are spelled out to us by some kind of legislative body. Otherwise our "rights" amount to breathing, pooping and/or peeing.

[DolaMight]

our "rights" amount to breathing, pooping and/or peeing.

GVAC's right, they can take those rights away too by sewing your asshole shut and keep feeding you and feeding you.

[FUNKMAN]

take God out of everything except Godsmack-good band!

[patsopinion]

why should i trust my god with my money or my country

his disciples seem to be doing a pretty shit job with both at the moment

[underdog]

take God out of everything except Godsmack-good band!

If you like Godsmack, try Alice In Chains.

[TheMojoPin]

I'm gonna leave a rusty coat hanger on the oven until it's hot ad then spread your ass cheeks and "SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"...

love Alice

[TheMojoPin]

If you like your ears, try turning off the Godsmack.

No thanks. I can only take you crying so often.

[scottinnj]

face!

God doesn't belong in the Presidential Oath of Office either. George Washington added it during his First Inaugural and it has been used ever since out of respect to him.

I say replace "In God We Trust" with "No Fat Chicks".

[Yerdaddy]

So is it a good idea to use the word "God" on government documents now? What's different?

[PapaBear]

Maybe Fez should design our money. Then it would say, "In Gawww We Trust".
