While they're at it, they should get rid of “In God We Trust,” too.
- who do you trust?yurimon
- irrelevantmonospaced
- do you have trust?yurimon
- trust no onedbloc
- irrelevant, yurimonmonospaced
- it's only been on money since 1955(ish)zarkonite
- and like the Pledge of Allegiance which also adopted it around then, it should now be removed for the same reasonsmonospaced
- I could imagine what kind of system under mono. shit is going to be some weird state of affairs if he was in charge. liberal heaven which is hell. trust no one.yurimon
- what a stupid ass thing to say from someone who is already a stupid ass bitchmonospaced
- token issues that solve nothing and have no real impact on anything get mono super excited. go eat some gay cake and settle downterry_cloth
- Gay cake? How did gay cake get brought up? Terry makes gay cake?pango
- I'm starting to suspect mono is autistic with Tourettes. so sad.yurimon
- no need to stoop to his level yuriterry_cloth
- yurimon's level is practically incomparable. He's on another dimension.pango
- I get it, you guys are probably into jesus, and that's fine, but that religion has no place on our cash.monospaced
- Nope, I don't worship a human being. It's just a non issue. Of all the inequities that could be addressed it is lazy and pointless to go after harmless symbolsterry_cloth
- Reminds me of the fuckery afoot with the Harvard law school logo shenanigans. What a waste of every bodies time and effortterry_cloth
- What mono said, it needs to be eliminated from everything. Personally, I am sick of hearing about any "God".formed
- It is precisely a waste of everyone's time on that issue. Since there's going to be a new bill. Might as well do it in the process.pango
- Agreed, any remnants of commu-hysteria period, should be removed asap.dorkKn1ght
- too put on a black woman is a great move for anti-discrimination... to take off in god we trust is a great move for ... discrimination?... hypocrisy?deathboy
- In Zod We Trustdbloc
- taking off "in god we trust is to remove a single religion's creed from a nation that has many religions, it's a separation of church and state, deathboy!monospaced
- I don't put my trust in any supernatural being because that sounds insane, and while it's okay some are into it, it doesn't reflect the nationmonospaced
- so no, it's not remotely hypocritical and would never, ever be considered discriminatory, that's just ridiculousmonospaced
- well if that isn't discrimination than i find it hard to think putting a black person on represents one race from a nation to be a + anti-discrimination.deathboy
- there is no hypocrisy in discriminating between what should and what shouldn't be on the bill. Just pure personal discrimatory preferences.deathboy
- We should put everyone's God on it! Every single Gods! Including Thor. Cuz thor is cool.pango
- @deathboy, putting her on the bill is just a way of honoring another part of this nation's great history, it has nothing to do with anti-discriminationmonospaced
- the bill needed an update, as they do from time to time, and there's a chance to swap a photo... big deal, it has happened many times beforemonospaced
- Removing "in god we trust" would be really simple and would be a step in the direction of separation of church and state.monospaced
- it wouldn't be an anti-christian act, it would be a pro-religious freedom actmonospaced
- It has nothing to do with Christianity or any one religion in particular, the only people this offends are reactionary athiest. You guys are the vast minorityterry_cloth
- Suck it up, being offended by the notion of a higher power is childish, then again, if you were mature about it you would be agnostic in stead of athiestterry_cloth
- I believe it does have something to do with Christianity, and the phrase doesn't only receive criticism from atheists.monospaced
- I'm not offended by it, but I do think it's time that it can come off since it really wasn't there originally. Relax.monospaced
- ah... i think mistook what u meant when you said "at least this one isn't aimed at active discrimination". Now i see you must have bee refering to the gay stufdeathboy
- i thouht it was in reference to only white people on the bill or the current bills were discrimatory for some reasondeathboy
- Right. In God we Trust was added in the early '60s, after over a hundred years of not having it. I'm just saying go back to the original, non religious version.monospaced
- I don't care much either way on both accounts. & its actually from civil war on coinage. dude convinced union to have god on their side in the war.deathboy
- later rehashed to fight commies. i like to think a hipster designer just needed an element like est. since. authentic wording for the design.deathboy
- agreed, it's the same as 'one nation under god', it doesn't really mean anything and sounds cool, what's the problem hereterry_cloth
- for me, it's always (even as a child) been weird since I don't believe in god, and never really understood how anyone could, so saying it felt stupidmonospaced
- anyway, the original pledge didn't have "under god" in it eithermonospaced
- I'm going out on a limb here but I think you recognize that there are forces in the universe that control you that you do not controll, i.e. higher power, andterry_cloth
- Tthat you are reacting to the g word out of some sense of dissatisfaction with Judeo-Christian religionterry_cloth
- Which is why I call you and other athiests reactionary. Ah, all this brings me back to my first posts on qbnterry_cloth
- Remember when I wrote a thesis about math being the manifestation of God? Anyways, simply saying the word God does not nesecellery invoke religionterry_cloth
- why doe sit need to be on the bill then?pango
- I do not believe in a controlling, conscious higher power, no. There are forces, obviously, but not supernatural. I suppose math & order could be "god"monospaced
- and yes, I certainly associate the normal use of the word "god" with the judeo-christian definition, which is widely dominant on this planetmonospaced
- but I'm not here to get into a debate over whether order and math are actually signs of a controlling consciousness or a creatormonospaced
- Especially USpango
- Well I don't say anything about a creator. Once again, this is all just a reaction to your own personal bias against organised religion, which the concept of Goterry_cloth
- -d is basicly nondenominational so the church vs. State argument holds no water. *didn't say. *in which the conceptterry_cloth
- Does the state believe in god in whatever concept that's out there?pango
- I agree it should be removed. Never understood why that phrase is present on federal or state buildings.sofakingback
