How would you feel about having the above statement replace the current religious figure on our printed currency?
Please, no "christian nation" statements. I'm arguing freedom of religion, not freedom of christianity.

Make it secular... completely. No Gods/Goddess'. If we truly want to follow what the Founding Fathers of our nation wanted for this country, then it should be secular.
Besides... we've already got Ra on the dollar, so it's not the Christian God it's referring to anyway. Our Gov't buildings are all after the Roman buildings... including many of their Gods and Goddess'.
When they claim it's a "Christian Nation" I have to laugh. The only thing that comes remotely close to that is saying that the majority of the citizens are Christian... which is loosing footing rather quickly.
The following site shows just how Pagan this nation really is, though the author doesn't support Paganism in that way... I think the site itself is good for showing Christians who try to say our nation is built on their religion (even if it was built on the Bible, it wouldn't be their religion.... it would be the Jewish Religion.... the 10 Commandments were handed down to the Jews... not Gentiles)

Oooooh girl, I know you didn't. Aphrodite is my cuzin from another mutha. We grew up on the same block and tapped into the 3-Ball Knockers at the same time back 84'. As a Christian I love my sista from anotha mista.

Currency has always had the same meaning to me... it's only value is what others place on it, otherwise it's empty of inherent existence and just another "thing" with a label.

I would have the same objection to this statement as I have to the current one being printed on American money.

I proposed that a while back when answering a question. We need to make coins big enough to that it lists 300 gods and/or goddesses so that we cover everyone's beliefs.
I'm making a push for Thor myself.
...or we could just not have any on there. That would be good too.

I'm fine with it. It might make the world a better place, if everyone was thinking in terms of a Love deity, especially a female one.

It sounds fine to me. They can even have a picture of Vishnu and Zeus disco dancing for all I care. My main concern is having enough currency to buy groceries.

That would be cool, but instead of currency, wouldn't her name be more appropriate over packets of condoms and tubes of lube?
Just a thought....

i agree with jon m, but the word god is more general, aphrodite is really specific, and if english is our national language, then we should say "in god we trust" instead of something like "in allah we trust" so it shouldnt change

Maybe we could put different gods on each bill. Can we make the twenty for agnostics.
