Why do you attribute coincidences to miracles? How can you prove a coincidence is a genuine miracle, or just another coincidence?

Has anyone studied history that isn’t laced with religious meddling? >_>

wow, has anyone studied history, or the foundation of this country? the rule of a english king mandating a way to worship God or die? uh, maybe Jonathon Edwards, the brightest mind america ever produced? or even an intellect before television when deep thought existed? edwards understood kant at age ten; do any of you today? explain how Jesus changed the calender and is the reason why they are called “holydays”. and you really think he didnt exists? explain away why so many have believed and claimed encounters. amazingly midget minded if you ask me. science has made you so smart? why did they find two snowflakes identically structured within a football field in colorado. darwin came up with that in two weeks on a island. there is still no links. developing eyeballs are blind. hows that help? yea, find a defoermed skull as proof. i guess 5 legged cows are just evolving. in short, no one wants to believe in God, but you certainly want to believe the way you do.

whats really funny is that the value of the dollar has been plummeting ever since that phrase was placed on it.

oh, and soon after the phrase was put on the dollar bill (and other paper money) the fed destroyed silver/gold certificates and created the Federal Reserve Note…which is backed by nothing other than a promise…which is when the value really started getting nasty….so really…the dollar is currently worth slightly more than god, but not by much.

Everything you say is right Shawn – a great post – and I don`t think it is a “small thing” at all!

I wouldn’t say we find it offensive. Most of us find that it violates the whole separation of church and state and the secular values that the nation was founded on. It was brought in and placed on our money in the 50′s as a propaganda piece against our enemies, the Godless Russian Communists.

I know it is such a small thing. In God we trust, one nation under God and so on. These are small things. But, as with everything else, if you give an inch they will take a mile. Religion is being forced down our throats at all turns, and God on our money and in our pledge was just the inch they needed.

And its not just a universal God, no it is the Christian God. Ten Commandments in court houses, nativity scenes on government property and so on. I don’t think I have ever seen a Hindu scene on public land during the festival of Deepavali. I have never seen anything related to the prophet Muhammad during Idul Fitri or Idul Adah. I could go on with plenty of examples from other religions. If the right extended to ALL religions then we might be more accepting, but it doesn’t.

Now they want to teach creationism and abstinence in public schools. Public schools are run by the government and must remain secular. Religion has no place in a place in public schools. Religion should be taught in church, temple, mosque or where ever you worship and in your own home. If you want it taught in school then send your kids to a private school and pay for that type of education. Keep it out of the public schools. If you think teaching kids about sex is wrong, then remove your kids from sex education class, but don’t forbid others from getting much needed education because YOU don’t agree with it. That is just stupid and wrong. Especially when America has the highest teenage birth rates in the developed world and is also the most religious. Shouldn’t that be the other way around??

Next thing, and it won’t be far off, is you wont be allowed to work in certain jobs unless you are Christian, trust me it isn’t far away if the the right have anything to do with it. And it will just get worse from there. This has got to stop.

So yes, get God off our money, out of our pledge and out of our schools. Do it now before Land of the Free and Home of the Brave turns into Land of the Christians Zealots and Home of the enslaved infidels. (And by infidels I mean those who believe anything other than in the Christian God, or believe in nothing)

PS I should have put “Britons of note” in inverted commas really: it`s a bit late here now!

We have featured various Britons of note on our currency, like Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Fry, George Stevenson, Florence Nightingale, barriejohn and so on, but I understand that Darwin was chosen because of the difficulty of forging his beard!! Must be the Origin of the Specie !!!!!
