Isen't it a violation of the first amendment
2006-12-10 18:12:19 · update #1
We live in a democracy, which means the greater good for the greater number. The majority of Americans are Christians so why not have God name on our money. Seems God is being removed from everything for the good of the minority, a contridiction of what our founding fathers had in mind for our great nation.
God bless,

No. It's a violation of the First Amendment.

I'll answer this question with a few questions of my own.
To those who say, "It doesn't matter": Would you say the same about currency with the phrase, "There are no gods" on it?
To those who say, "This country was founded on God": Are you aware that "In God we trust" wasn't always on our currency? Are you aware that many of the founding fathers were not religious? Have you heard of the separation of church and state?
To those who say, "It's not naming a specific god": Is it not still naming a god? Is it not still an insult to those who don't harbor emotions for an imaginary father-figure in the sky?
It's a very simple phrase, a very simple concept, and very simply, it's against the separation of church and state.
Also, why is this question in the "Religion and Spirituality" section? Doesn't that just give testament to society's confusion? The question you've posed is of a legal origin.

There are three religious viewpoints:
* Atheism: belief in zero gods
* Monotheism: belief in one god
* Polytheism: belief in multiple gods.
People who claim U.S. currency should advertise one of these views are against religious freedom. Pure and simple.
Indeed, ask them if they would mind changing "god" to "the gods".
Then they'd probably lie about how this is a christian nation and the founding fathers were christians (they weren't).

As god is the only thing Americans trust in i believe it should be given proper notice, and be shown off as some small miracle :)

Anymore, I don't know. God does own the money (He owns the whole world), but money has become the root of all evil and I think satan has taken over and now money is some of the reasons people get greedy and even killed.

It should not be in your money in the first place. Everybody of us tell that money is the root of all evils. I dont know why the US put that phrase in their money.
No country would put a phase relating to religion on their money. Except for the US maybe.

no because i dont trust false beings and i dont want people to think i do because i use money. they should just be glad with the all seeing eye and the words "new world order" being on money. American government is supposed to be secular but isnt because of that very thing and our leader does things for god. its bullsh!t

I'm used to seeing it on money, but recently, I saw a bill
without the words on it and to me it seemed strange and different. Yet, I guess it really doesn't matter anymore what
the Gov't puts on the money as long as I get my proper share
of it.

The country was built on GOD and religion, what ever YOUR God might be, there is no specific mention to ANY particular God. In God we trust !
