Is this ridiculous or what?

Question

I got an email on my work address today saying that we should boycott the new dollar coins because they don't say "In God We Trust" on them. Who cares?? It this really such a huge deal that people feel the need to boycott the stupid coins? I don't refuse to use regular money because it does say this and I don't believe in god. I mean, people rarely use them anyway. And I thought it was illegal to refuse proper US currency. Is that true? Doesn't it say this on our paper money? Does anyone else think some people are going a little too far here?

Yeah, I thought they had it inscribed on the side but I wasn't sure. Maybe they're pissed because it's not front and center.

Answer 1

Considering the fact that prior to 1950 it never appeared on the US dollar and was added to show how anti-communist they were, I think it's about time they got rid of it.

It serves no purpose other than make a bunch of christoholics feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Answer 2

I agree that it is ridiculous to get upset about that or try to boycott money... in fact, I don't think that motto should be inscribed on money at all. Whatever happened to separation of church and state? But, either way, it isn't true... the new coins do say "In god we trust".

Answer 3

People want to make a statement of their belief. They are free to do this, and you and I are free to ignor them. Why they want to make such a big deal over such a small thing. They must think, not having God on the new dollar coin, is the start of some big movement on our governments part, to eliminate God from our society or something.

Answer 4

all and sundry who says "you're no longer the superb till you bypass to the WWE" is a f*cking fool. i will call lots of wrestlers interior the international no longer in WWE that are 10x greater advantageous than over 0.5 of the WWE roster precise now. Austin Aries, Chris Hero, Davey Richards, KENTA, Kota Ibushi, Shingo, AJ types, Samoa Joe, Desmond Wolfe, Christopher Daniels, homicide, Mistico, Motor city gadget weapons, The Briscoes, youthful dollars/technology Me, Dragon baby, Colt Cabana, and so on.. Can all and sundry quite say with a immediately face say that the WWE roster is super? Can all and sundry quite say that a roster with Sheamus, The Miz, super Khali, David Otunga, Vladimir Kozlov, Mark Henry, Hornswoggle, John Cena and Randy Orton is super? i do no longer care in the event that they have Chris Jericho, edge and CM Punk, the WWE roster precise now as an entire is definitely damaging. WWE isn't the superb promoting interior the international and that i don't understand how all and sundry could desire to assert they're. WWE has many of the worst wrestlers interior the international precise now (super Khali and Mark Henry are 2 examples). and to no longer point out the actual indisputable fact that WWE does not care pertaining to to the midcard titles. that's a shame what the IC identify, the Tag team titles, and the U.S. identify have become over the final 5 years. they're quite meaningless. WWE marks/fanboys delivers me as many thumbs down's as they like yet i do no longer provide a sh*t. BQ: complicated to % on condition that they're all super tag communities, yet i think of i'll bypass with the The Briscoes.

Answer 5

And what is the difference with an atheist demanding that it be taken off of money. It is still there, but on the edge. So sorry:

It's about time to trash the silliness of "In God We Trust" ... I know I certainly don't put my trust in fairy tales.

Wanna boycott something...? Boycott the old money.
