Ummm Well, tell me... if you don't believe in Affirmative Action, but the government impliments it, does that mean they're telling you that you are wrong on that matter? If you don't believe in abortion, but the government allows it, does that mean that they're telling you that you are wrong on that matter? Well, I guess the government tells everyone that they're wrong about something, somewhere... welcome to the club.

The government is not prohibited from expressing an opinion on affermative action. It is on issues of religion.

I'm a bit surprised you even raised that argument.

Also -- you are free to not get an abortion -- and affirmative action is not fair, and views and court decisions on implementing it have changed.

It is nearly impossible to not have to use paper currency.

You??? It doesn't matter.

The statement is true. "In God We Trust"

The real question to me when I read in God we trust, is what god? If America worships and trusts the God of the Bible, than why is it armed with enough WMD to blow the earth away many times over? Or is it the god Mammon, which the phase in God we trust appears on money? Is it the money itself that phase is referring to?
I do not think that the god that is referred to in the phase is the Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and is not the Most Holy Trinity. For me as a Christian it is referring to a false god, and therefore an idol.
