It's a tall order to ask God to protect our money, and if God doesn't, then doesn't it look bad for him/her?

William B - and if we trust in God, then we trust him to protect our money (value) and keep America strong.

That shouldn't be on our money anyways.

No. The value of the dollar goes up and down. Remember how dismal the US economy was under Jimmy Carter? We even had what was called the misery index. Like climate change, it is all cyclical, there will be numerous changes, good and bad. Now that the dollar has been devalued a bit, people in other countries may be able to afford to buy more American products. This will stimulate the US economy and the dollar will rebound again.

yes, take it off your currency, its devaluation should also reflect the devaluation of american morality, which at this stage in your history seems so very true. the usa economy needs a war or two or three, which you guys excel at.
stop bringing god into it, you are a godless nation, without morals or humanity or humility. when your country can excercise a more balanced role in world politics and act like a leader instead of some third world warlord, perhaps you can start talking to god again.
besides, there aren't too many american products on the market that are worth buying, most are poorly made and overpriced.

That's the most ridiculous logic I've seen in a long time - and that's saying something in this place!
It's convenient to blame something other than greedy business practices and hype-over-quality for the failing dollar, but God?! Questions like that are what remove others' confidence in our society, which makes people skittish and less apt to spend in or buy from the US, which devalues the dollar, lady.

What are you talking about? You're confusing religion with science and economics. Religion doesn't know anything about currency. They should remove that motto from American currency regardless. It's just another way for the religious right to force their beliefs down the throats of Americans.

No leave it on there. In God I trust everyone else pays.
It has nothing to do with asking God to protect our money. It's we have faith in God and Trust what he s in store for our Nation.

you are able to't spend debt notes, yet that one's far extra than maximum persons's heads. on condition that Federal Reserve Notes already image the all seeing eye of Horus alongside with some different pagan symbols and are a mirrored image of the Babylonian commerce device we are residing decrease than, it does not lots remember if the interest GOD is there or not.

We certainly can't trust those who are responsible for coining and circulating the currency. Who else is there to trust?

Interesting the various interpretations of that motto. I've just taken it as a historical statement that holds meaning to many of us still.
For me personally, it can also be a statement that I do not trust in money. I don't think you can really worship both.

That statement on the currency has nothing to do with asking God to protect our money.

What does God have to do with the devaluing the American dollar? It's market driven not religion driven.
