Who else is happy that the new $1 coin won't have "In God We Trust" on it?

Question

I mean finally, the Mint is actually following the constitution and not infringing on our rights.

And if you think my post is anti-God, against God, or anything of that matter, you're wrong. It's about following what our Founding Fathers laid out.

Answer 1

Guess again.

And the first amendment said that congress shall pass no law respecting one religion over another. Inscribing "In God we trust" on a coin is not passing a law.

Answer 2

I actually could care less. You are right about one thing. Our Founding Fathers did not intend to put "In God We Trust" on our money. That didn't start until after the Civil War. Most of the things attributed to the Founding Father's and Religion are wrong. We didn't even have a Pledge of Allegiance until after the country was well over a hundred years old and "Under God" was not added to it until the 1950s. The founding fathers were basically Deists, rather than affirmed Christians. Thomas Jefferson was a Unitarian. The Christianity of the Founding Fathers who were Christians bore little resemblance to the Christianity of today's fundamentalists. They were more Anglican and closer to today's Episcopalians.

Answer 3

Do you think our country obides by the constitution.? Why do big companies ,including scandelous insurance companies, have more rights than the citizens? And why are oil companies aloud to make billions in profit from our country . Where does the money go? Oh yeah the most unstable place in the world. If we followed the constitution their would be no public corruption, half the crimes committed, and everyone would be treated equally...Snap into reality God is the only hope our country has. Are we supposed to trust the leaders of our corrupt society instead?

Answer 4

it doesn't say any where in the constitution that the government can't print in god we trust on our currency. our founding fathers only set up a government that would respect religion in general, not deny it all together. if ther are people who don't believe in god that is there business. but to infringe on the rights of people that do believe is even worse. all the people crying about there rights being violated are hypocrites.

Answer 5

Do you think anyone could be anti-Buddha and move over to their country and bash Buddha? No way! Why does America allow it? We're supposed to be "one nation under God"! One of the main reasons folks left England was because they wanted to be Christians and worship God the way they saw CORRECTLY, not dictated by catholic priests who read the Bible in Latin while secretly molesting little boys! If you're an atheist, then move to a Godless country, or find some land and start your own new world.
One more thing..................................................................................................I'm not an atheist. I believe in God, and I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins. Because of this belief, there is a promise that I will ascend to Heaven. If I am wrong about this belief, there is no consequence. On the other hand, if I were an atheist and was wrong, the consequence is DEVASTATING. Which chance would you rather take?

Answer 6

Standard logic dictates that if you do not trust God, then you must trust Satan. I wish there existed a better choice besides blind trust, but there does not. So, we place our lives and our future in God.

I believe this is why the country's constitution and laws are based on biblical laws, because without a proper foundation, what would we have, gay marriages?

Answer 7

In what way is it an infringement on the constitution?
Our Forefathers had in God We Trust PUT on the money....oops as usual...lying libs...and your post is ANTI GOD. ANTI_RELIGION...to attack the mention of Him is an attack at Him...

PS...what do you think they meant by this then?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator.

NOTICE THE LAST WORD?

Answer 8

In God We Trust is on the edge of the coin

Answer 9

Our founding fathers made separation of church and state to protect religion from government not the other way around.

The Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. States that, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof” (Establishment).
The true meaning of the two clauses were originally designed to protect religious
freedom from the government, not to protect the government from religion.

Answer 10

I don't see what the big deal is. Most of America is prodominately Christian and when the original colonists settled here, they sought religious freedom to celebrate Christianty. Having "In God We Trust" I feel is our way of recognizing the whole reason wy pilgrams settled in America.
