Are you that convicted or will you just post more hatred here?

Oh well I didn't think you were as committed as you are verbose.

I just wish Christians would stop pointing to it and saying we are a Christian based nation. It doesn't say which God we trust. So, technically speaking, the words "In God we Trust" are not related to a particular "church" and therefore require no separation.

I don't post hatred, you must have me confused with someone else.
I continue to let my elected representatives know where I stand on the separation of church and state. That is the way the American system works.
I do not refuse to use money, although I rarely carry or use cash. My children do need food to eat, and the grocery store would not allow me to use the barter system. Rather short-sighted of them perhaps, but they would not allow me to trade some pot-holders I had made for a gallon of milk.
Protest that harms the ones you love is not *sensible* protest.

Who's posting hatred anyway? Atheists don't hate people who are religious; we may hate the behavior of those people, but not the people themselves. And until I have a choice, I have to use U.S. currency. What a stupid troll question!

The dollar is pretty worthless when compared to most other currency- so why not- we can just use monopoly money-
Your god is the god of money? Is that why you put him there in 1957? oh no that was because you didn't want the communists to take over- Thank god it was a logical reaction.

i use USD in jamaica and the phillippines cause these small islands need USD to purchase things. you spend USD at a little shop, the shop owner cuts you a deal because they can exchange the USD when the exchange rates go up. This is good for the shop owner and good for the island. And I save a little change in the process. win-win-win all around.
so no i cant stop using USD.

Present me a viable option and yes, I'll boycott any currency that has 'in god we trust' on it.
Until then, of necessity, I will continue using the available currency.
Of course, with the advent of debit cards, I'm much more able to do precisely this -- my card nowhere on it has any reference to a deity, and I can use it practically everywhere.

I don't care that much about the God crap on the money. It doesn't belong there. It was part of an older time (it didn't belong there then either)...but it's non-denomination, and doesn't really hurt anyone.
In an ideal world, it would be removed.
We have much bigger fish to fry...namely Christians sneaking in church funding and calling it faith based initiatives, and funding of religious schools under the voucher program.
Now those programs are offensive.

There are a few that wish the phrase IN GOD WE TRUST remove from all currency, but my wife (who is an atheist) doesn't care one way of the other

No.
I use Visa most of the time, anyway.
Just because I have to use the money doesn't mean I endorse the religious beliefs contained on it.

Well if I wanted to I could use checks and credit cards instead of dollars.
