Is it punching you in the face? No. You believe God in your heart. Like I said, Do you think we should keep in God we trust? I didn't ask for this babble.
Ok, we should take "God we trust" off the dollar bill. Whose's face do you see in the dollar bill? Then it belongs to them. And who is the God of this world? Then it belongs to them.
Okay...I looked it up to be polite but didn't find anything, it's all a conspiracy theory.Ok, we should take "God we trust" off the dollar bill. Whose's face do you see in the dollar bill? Then it belongs to them. And who is the God of this world? Then it belongs to them.
Like what?So much of that post is so wrong. I'll just say NAH!
the whole thing, just wrong.Like what?

this is basically semantics issue over the use of the word god.It is not illegal, the Founding Father's set up the nation with that declaration...."We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator (aka GOD) with certain unalienable Rights....! That is why and how we separated from Britain! If people don't like our Constitution, I suggest they kick rocks! Simple as that. The Founding Fathers served the Lord, your approval is not needed nor welcome!

face it, you wouldn't like it one bit if the word god was changed to allah.
as it stands, the phrase is (or can be considered to be) illegal.
changing the word god to creator would solve this.
I agree with the first part but agnostics don't believe in any God. It won't apply to everyone. America is about equality.this is basically semantics issue over the use of the word god.

No it would not. My contention is with the government speaking for me on matters of faith. Who or what I believe or trust in. It's the "trust" part that I object to, not the word God.changing the word god to creator would solve this.
Tradition if nothing else. Are you scared of God ? Are you offended or bothered by God on our bills ? Certainly there are more pressing things in life !Not even going to provide a response? LOL okay, disagree all you want, but once again, you have no reason to keep it.
No. I'm bothered by the government speaking for me as to what I trust or put my faith in. A government that is legally prohibited from doing just that.Tradition if nothing else.

I'd be ok with E pluribus unumNo. I'm bothered by the government speaking for me as to what I trust or put my faith in. A government that is legally prohibited from doing just that.
That stupid phrase stands in defiance of everything this country means to me. And it isn't even the original motto. E pluribus unum is a much more suitable motto for the United States. It makes no statement of faith on anyone's behalf, so it is all-inclusive (it literally means "out of many, one") and is much more unifying as a statement.
And it's in Latin. How cool is that?!

Most money is electronic todayTradition? That's not a valid reason, is it? Also, why would I be scared of God if I believe in him? Did you forget to read the FIRST post that I posted? I'm just saying that it's not fair to others who don't believe in God yet they are forced to have it on their money. That's the government making a choice for them. They may not trust in God, yet it says that on an OFFICIAL currency. Like others said, you wouldn't like it if it said "in Allah we trust" or "in science we trust." Your argument is invalid because you only want it there because YOU believe in God.
the fact still remains that using the word creator would not be illegal.Not quite, because not everyone believes in a creator. Some people believe in NO divine being at all.
Tradition? America is about freedom. Plus, in the first amendment, it clearly states freedom of religion.
