"In God We Trust" and "under god"

[Hatch]

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." -- The First Amendment

what specific religion are we supposedly endorsing?????

 

[anaxagoragus]

The Constitution clearly states that the GOVERNMENT is to remain completey neutral on matters of religion, or in other words, not to be invovled in matters of religion at all one way or the other, its not the job of our government to get involved in religion at all, that's a mater for the churches ad other private organizaons to be involved in on their own time and own money.

Clearly not having "god" on money or in pledges, etc is not anything at all against the free excersize of religion as this country has had free excersize of religion from the first days and during that time, up until the 1950s there was none of the God business in the mottos, pledges, oaths, etc.

IN orer for you argument you make any sense you would have to prove that prior to the 1950s this country DIDN'T have religious liberty. Something that is obviously wrong.

There is only one religion on earth that referes to its god as "God" and that is Christianity. For Islam is it Allah, for Judaism is it G*d, Yewehe (sp?) whatever, for pagans they have a variety of gods to choose from, all with names, for Hindus, they have gods with names, Shiva, etc, for atheists there is no god at all.

mclean your hairsplitting on this issue is clintonesque. this issue is one of the main reasons i would never be a republican. you should be ashamed of yourself.

 

[askG]

lol@mizery you...they could start putting clever slogans on all the bills..."spend if youre greedy".

 

[MizeryU]

i agree with asscrack i think
what religion is it anyways n why you care so much
i still wouldnt mind puttin "mind your business" or "dont tread on me" or " kiss my ass" or "eat shit" or "suck a dick" or "smoke a joint" on a bill cause that would be pimp shit right there

 

[askG]

umm...i think you misread my name dude. :eyecross:

 

[WHITE DEVIL]

Who gives two shits if it's on money? What is it going to force someone to go to church?

 

[WHITE DEVIL]

I pledge allegiance to the Bush and the United Snakes of America. And to the monopoly for which it stands, one nation, under the leadership of a mental midget, unapproachable, with bullshit and lies for all.

for buddhists, in some sects they use hindu gods, but most don't have gods at all...

so you take all the jewish, muslim, buddhist, hindu people in the US, and that's a large chunk who don't believe in the christian God. (by the way, buddhism is the fastest growing religion in the US)

 

[shep]

Air America Radio- Drug Free Radio. The radio station Rush Limbaugh would listen to..... if he didn't lose his hearing because of his drug addiction.

[Hatch]

as opposed to the one that is anchored by stuart smalley (aka Al Franken) the recovering cocaine and alcohol junkie

 

[HERESY]

All it is is paper backed by THIN AIR.......


Does "GOD" give a damn about "GOD" being in the pledge or "GOD" being printed on money? Why should he when people are killing each other over weapons of mass destruction that have yet to be found? Why should he care when people are spending money on trillion dollar space programs while kid's starve in BABYLON (AMERICA)?


To be honest I don't feel "GOD" wants to be associated with this country. Why would he???????


I have more important matters at hand......."In god we trust" is not one of them.......


:hgk:

This is a country created by white christians and for the most part ran by white christians. So what do you expect?

Sorry, you're incorrect. Read about our founding fathers and you will learn what they really believed in.
