I will. I just went to the bank. I think I will cross god off my money.
OK, It trusts Zeus now.
"Thre are no US $ 100.00 bills that reads 'In Zeus we trust.'"
Yes there are now. I have a few that say Mithra and Orsis too.

According to the First Amendment, it should. Our Founding Fathers wouldn't approve of "In God We Trust" on money. George Washington didn't want God or Christianity mentioned in the Constitution. John Adams agreed with the Treaty of Tripoli that said The US government was not founded in any way upon Christianity. Thomas Jefferson didn't want the Bible taught in public schools. The majority of delegates rejected a proposal to mention Jesus in the Declaration of Independence. Our first coins had "E Pluribus Unum". "In God We Trust" first appeared on some coins in the 1860's. By law, it became optional on February 12, 1873. May 18, 1908, it became mandatory on gold and silver coins. It became mandatory on all US money, coins and bills, July 11, 1956. If God is on all money, Zeus, Odin, Amon, Ra, Marduk, Asshur, Ahuramazda, Brahma, Yu Ti, Lucifer and other gods have as much right to be there. A state religion is forbidden, after all. Eisenhower exceeded his authority in putting God on all money and in the Pledge of Allegiance. It's time to remove this unconstitutional name of a deity.

NO, but many banks in middle eastern countries will only accept bills with Islamic praise. In roman days, I'll bet that their currency praised zeus or one of the other gods who predated jesus.
Either way....zeus, god, allah....they are all make believe.

That is Punishable under Title 18 of the U.S.C., for a reason other than a religious one. Find out and tell us what it is like to be in front of a judge.

Yes, they will accept them. You will also qualify for their "Meet New Friends and Visit New Places" plan as the Treasury Department Agents escort you to Levenworth, LOL!

Well, well. I guess your society is a bible belt afterall, huh?
Our country was built on Christianity, has been a Christian nation, and will continue to be Christian until Christ returns.
Unfortunately, so many have claimed Christianity with evil hearts and intention, but true believers still live and breathe for Christ. I know because I'm one of them.
Let me know when you're ready. *smile*

People still use mattresses for banks? I thought that was done away with.

Some of my bills have "Where's George..." stamped on them and they still work fine.
