Is it wrong that I'm not an Atheist, but have been blacking out "God," on all of my money? I'm a Pagan, but I just hate the thought of anyone's god, even any of mine, as a political idea. It's wrong to me.

Dudez, coherency and proper syntax is a good thing.

"with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued"
Now, what was that again?

You are "blacking out God" on all of your money?
Defacement of Currency
The following is a copy paste of a U.S. Government website:
Defacement of currency is a violation of Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Code. Under this provision, currency defacement is generally defined as follows: Whoever mutilates, cuts, disfigures, perforates, unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, Federal Reserve Bank, or Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued, shall be fined not more than $100 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

Actually I agree with the sentiment, but defacing money is an offense under federal law. But I won't tell anyone. I'd like to see that unconstitutional statement taken off all the money and taken out of the Pledge of Allegiance, too.

Huh! That's kind of a cool idea - I could do it when I'm really bored. Oh, and when I actually have money.
Think I'll go do it now.
Actually, this is a really COOL idea! Let's start a trend.

well.. if u forgot about God because money blinded you and everything... i think its quite bad.. because those are da kind of things Jesus wouldn't want you to do.. if u read the parable of the sower.. some seeds landed on the thorns and bushes... and they are those people who believed in God but got blinded by their possesions and money and forgot him.. but the thing is if u follow da 2 top commandments im sure u wont be dat bad.. which are.. love God wid all ur heart and all your soul.. love ur neighbour as urself...
dats all i can say

Whatever floats your boat I guess, I don't see how it's helping you any, besides the fact that you're breaking the law by "writing" on the money.

It is petty.
It does not really matter.
