Yes! Lets remove God from our money! Isn't it idol worship to have the word God on money!?

Question

The penny has In God we Trust under the graven image of Abraham Lincoln. Is Abraham Lincoln God?

Answer 1

"In God We Trust" was not placed on the bill until 1957. However, it was originally made the national motto of the United States in 1863 at the suggestion of Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase, who himself had supposedly been prompted to do so by a protestant minister concerned with the waning of religious fervor in the American public. This man purportedly wanted to ensure that the US would always be officially grounded in faith in divine Providence, and thus this motto was put on all American coins ever since, although it did not appear on paper currency until much later. But "In God We Trust" is indeed a Masonic motto – one used in almost all Masonic rituals, in which the participants must pledge to always put their "trust in God" during the ceremonies – and this specific phrase can be found in Masonic dictionaries. Its appearance on the dollar bill in the 1950s may have been meant to bolster a currency increasingly dependent on faith due to changes in American monetary policy.

Roosevelt had laws passed forcing US citizens to give all of the gold and silver that they owned to the government.
Nixon in 1971, closed the "gold window", announcing that the holdings of foreign central banks would no longer be redeemed for gold by the US government.
This was the final step in abandoning the gold standard. Now the value of the dollar floats freely in relation to foreign currencies, with no fixed standard of value.
So the dollar that we now use is one backed entirely by faith alone – the public's faith in America's economy, and America itself.

Answer 2

It is one thing to claim that we trust in God. It is quite another to show it by our actions. For example, the phrase “In God We Trust” has long appeared on U.S. paper currency and coins. In 1956, the U.S. Congress passed a law declaring that expression the national motto of the United States. Ironically, many people—not just in that land but throughout the world—put greater trust in money and material wealth than they do in God. In a letter to the U.S. Mint, dated November 20, 1861, Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase wrote: “No nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in His defense. The trust of our people in God should be declared on our national coins.” As a result, the motto “In God We Trust” first appeared on a circulating U.S. coin in 1864.

2 As true Christians, we must do more than simply say that we trust in Jehovah. Just as “faith without works is dead,” so too any claim that we trust in God is meaningless unless we back it up by our actions. (James 2:26.) We learn that our trust in Jehovah is manifested when we turn to him in prayer, when we seek direction from his Word, and when we look to his organization for guidance.

“In God We Trust”—Really?
The words “In God We Trust” have appeared on American coinage for 127 years. “How did God and American money come to be linked?” asks Time magazine. It started with the final stanza of the national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” which declared: “And this be our motto, ‘In God is our Trust.’” Then, at the start of the Civil War (1861-65), M. R. Watkinson, a Baptist parson, petitioned that if the Union, representing the northern states, be defeated, it should leave behind coins acknowledging its dependence on God. President Abraham Lincoln and Treasury Secretary Salmon Chase agreed, and the shortened phrase “In God We Trust” began to be stamped on coins in 1864. However, it did not appear on the larger paper currency until 1955, and the following year it was made the national motto. Although use of the motto has been challenged in court, most agree with former Supreme Court Justice William Brennan, who wrote that the slogan has “lost any true religious significance.”

We should put what on the money?

a) HAVE A NICE DAY!
b) STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES
c) A BUCK AIN"T WHAT IT USED TO BE
d) Every effort has been made to accurately represent our product and it's potential. As with any business endeavor, there is an inherent risk of loss of capital and there is no guarantee that you will earn any money.

Answer 4

No, the "In God We Trust" is there because America was founded on the belief of God. The puritans came to america so that they could practice their own religion. America was based on the idea of "freedom of religion" and since the beginning of America, religion has been very important to America.

Answer 5

In the early sixties we removed the words "silver certificate" from our $bills because money was no longer backed by silver in the federal reserve. We replaced the words "silver certificate" with "In God we trust" .

Answer 6

Why don't you ask your fellow kindergarteners. They can probably tell you whether Abraham Lincoln is God.

Pathetic.

Answer 7

you comprehend, I in no way listen about the all-seeing eye being on the dollar. Any reason some atheists get butthurt over the In god we believe and in no way the all-seeing eye? yet to respond to your question, we probable might want to take it off our money because it wasn't further until eventually 1956. For the most section, even if, that is in undemanding words some thing stupid to whine about. Morons say stupid issues about institution and whiners have yet an extra reason to whine. actual that is any such stupid situation, that once human beings discuss institution and crap, that is evidently glaring that they comprehend that they do certainly have all the rights of theists and performance no longer some thing else to whine about. My different favourite whine tactic are the blue guidelines. This cracks me up. no longer in undemanding words are you saying that you won't be able to be bothered to purchase sufficient alcohol to very last by Sunday, yet you're also saying that you'll particularly whine then easily start up a petition to modify the regulation on your county. heavily, that is a county regulation. Get about 500 human beings to vote with you, and also you'll get rid of it. try doing as a substitute of whining. also, human beings claiming the institution clause ought to pick to study up on the Federal Reserve. Our money is a Federal Reserve be conscious, and the Federal Reserve is privately owned. So it isn't the authorities putting "In God We believe" on the money, yet a privately-owned entity. the following is the rub even if. You all are fearful about some print on a bill, yet look fully unconcerned that the Fed isn't even component of the authorities. Howard, I easily have hung out operating with particular Olympics. in no way have I met a happier, kinder team of human beings. thanks for associating me with them. and that i do have evidence of God. you may or ought to no longer locate it compelling. What i do no longer have is evidence. evidence is in undemanding words in mathematics. in case you pick evidence to believe some thing, i'd propose you also push aside all of technology. As for dropping useless, i am going to quickly sufficient, as all of us will finally die. that is nice to work out you shifting to wishing for the death of others. particular signal of a more effective robust moralistic perception structure. good judgment/ reason/ evidence, Darwin became British. it isn't extraordinarily superb the united kingdom positioned him on a number of their currencies. If, even if, you attempt to make a evaluation to institution, you need to pick to take yet another look on the united kingdom. in simple terms sayin.

Answer 8

Matthew 15-22
15Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. "Teacher," they said, "we know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
18But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, 20and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?"

21"Caesar's," they replied.
Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."

22When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.
