I personally don't trust god, the tooth fairy or santa clause. I think it reflects poorly on our nation that we stamp our money (a symbol of our culture) with such childish absurdity. Might as well have a unicorn or dragon on the front of our currency instead of a president. Its absoloutly crazy to still have god written on anything in this day an age. I'll bet it's taken off within the next 20 years. What do you all think?

I have had an unplanned pregnancy. The odd thing is when I started TTC with my 2nd it took a long time, at one point we got so frustrated we actually decided not to try any more. No counting days, nothing. Just live our lives and if it happens it does, if it doesn't it doesn't. Within 2 months of not trying so hard I found out I was pregnant. I don't think this is true for everyone, but I think for some TTC it could be the stress of it all that maybe not helping. Stress does affect alot in your life.

Didn't you learn anything from the flag burning debate or the Constitutional marriage amendments? The conservative Christians will just use it as a polarizing issue to rally religious voters to avert attention from how badly social conservatives have screwed up the country and the world over the past seven years. It is just a few words on a coin. In my opinion, there are more important issues to tackle in our world these days. But to answer your question, I think it would be pretty cool to have unicorns and dragons on our currency.

No, we should not take "In God we Trust" off of our money. Even if you don't believe in God, it is still important historically. Our forefathers wanted this to be a Christian nation, so it makes sense that our money would reflect that.
It is also not fair to group God with the tooth fairy or Santa Claus. Every one knows those 2 are not real, but many beleive in a God of some kind.
Besides, it is supposed to be Freedom of Religion, nor Freedom from Religion.

Or maybe we should have an ape rapidly evolving or a picture of the Big Bang on the dollar bill! Dude, y do u atheists always make fun of Christians! So far I've never seen a christian make fun of atheists in a question! But, it is unconstitutional; it says in UR constitution that UR Congress will not choose any religion! ( I'm Russian)

I do. This country was NOT founded upon religious principles and Christians need to realize that a great many people do not appreciate one religions dogma being shoved down ones throat.

ITS ABSOLUTELY GREEDY
I'm not a christian .. but if i were .. i'd be pissed .. heh .. In God We Trust should be printed on something more meaningful .. not something like money .. which has 0 value.
There are more important things in life then money .. we should spend more time concentrating on worldly matters.. such as spending more time family friends and neighbors..and working less.. or helping one another .. or the environment ... if a god does exist .. I dont think he would give a flying f*ck about our money .. thats the lease of importance

Any time anyone wants to take God out of anything... Is sad......even though you may not believe in God, doesn't mean you have to take him out of the pitcure after all "In God we trust" was on there way before your time and it didn't bother anyone then. So why does it matter now?

It doesn't bother me. I'm not a religious person. I'm not offended by this on our money or them saying the pledge in our schools. The USA was founded on these principles. People that obsess about this are strange.

I think it should be removed, but I don't think it will be removed with the way things are going, even in 20 years.

Religion will never die...unfortunately. I think it's a door to hate and yes, it is a waste of money, but what do you mean Santa isn't real? :(
Just kidding.
And you know what pisses me off, when kids are forced to read about something they don't believe in school. Right now we're reading "Their eyes were watching God." I must admit, it's a good book, and it's more about women rights than god, but when I voiced my opinion, my teacher just said "too bad".
Peace!
