Would it be okay with the 'Christians' if we took the 'God' stuff off half the currency and coins?

Question

What if we left the 'God' thing on ones and fives and took it off of the tens, fifities and hundreds? How about replacing the 'God' thing in the 'Pledge' with 'Under the Constitution'? If we did that everyone would be happy. Also, all flags made or imported would have to be manufactured from fireproof material. Wadda' 'ya think?

Answer 1

I believe all references to "God" should be removed from US currency, public buildings and the pledge to the flag. As an atheist I am guaranteed freedom from religion in the Constitution but I am constantly bombarded by religious references.

As for fireproof material for the flag--burning the flag is an accepted method of disposing of worn out flags.

Answer 2

i've got self assurance we could continually get rid of it from the college pledges in view that no longer absolutely everyone seems to be christian and worships an identical god or gods or no god in any respect i think of it would be greater perfect suitable for credit enjoying cards in view that credit enjoying cards are your individual very own way of procuring stuff that characterize the guy you're in the event that they have been made into that way possibly you ought to easily get them with regardless of show you like like they do with present enjoying cards of a definite subject thats available on the time

Answer 3

More than just Christians believe in God. Stop with the mockery.

Answer 4

"Under God" was not introduced to the pledge until the early 1950s, because of the "red" scare.

Answer 5

I think debate over "God on currency" and "war on Christmas" is nothing more than a 'bait and switch' tactic. they serve as window dressing to promote petty bickering while the REAL infringements of the Separation of Church and State principle go unnoticed and unchallenged. For example... allocating billions to religious groups to define 'family' and promote 'faith-based initiatives'; ignoring advice of health experts to promote counter-productive 'abstinence-only' and global 'gag rule' policies for HIV/AIDS and other healthcare funding here and abroad:

That Jewish organizations received the bulk of the funding does not mean there is new or heightened threat against Jewish Americans, the department said.
"One faith group is not necessarily at greater risk than another," said department spokesman Russ Knocke. "Risk is often circumstantial and it is constantly evolving."

-- Within the past couple months, Rep. Mike Pence (R-Indiana) introduced an amendment to cut funding to Planned Parenthood because abortion counseling and client-paid abortions are included in the services they offer. It's already mandated that NO Federal Funds are to be used for abortion, but that wasn't 'far right enough' for him, so singled out Planned Parenthood to be denied Title X funds. For the agenda of a few, he was willing to deny millions of men, women and teens ALL Planned Parenthood services... family planning counseling (pregnancy prevention), pregnancy tests, birth control, gynecological care, STI/STD testing and treatment, blood pressure tests, etc. Fortunately, cooler heads (Dem and Rep) prevailed so the amendment failed.

Last month, Pence introduced a bill to again attempt to exclude Planned Parenthood from Title X funding. Rather like "throwing out the baby with the bath water" when such initiatives are introduced under the guise of 'pro-life', yet will cause even more unwanted pregnancies by denying family planning and birth control services to the poor who can not afford alternate means. Why not just legislate that 'poor' people can't have sex?? Would the ceiling be as high for that as it is for SCHIP??
