Fishapod Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 An interesting 2-minute video that explains how we could eliminate "In God We Trust" from the currency: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNgIRAnUXpw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xild Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Oh poo. I have a $20 on my desk so I crossed it off on the back, turned it over and damn if someone hasn't written, God love you, on the front of it. It's a new twenty too! So I had to cross that off too ... just the word "god." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-COG Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Oh poo.

So I had to cross that off too ... just the word "god." Aha, the Christians are striking back already! Some think that you can get in trouble for defacing money, but really, with all the people who mark up bills with phone numbers, names, religious slogans and "where's George?", I don't think there'd be any problems with someone crossing out the word God. I doubt you would do it where everybody could see you anyway, like while sitting on a bus. Does anyone even notice the "In God we trust" slogan? I don't bother to look at it.

Taphophilia Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Maybe it's just me, but I don't care. I think of the word "god" as an ambiguous word that can mean anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycorth Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Ultimately, I don't care, because it doesn't affect my life one way or the other. But ideally, yes, I'd like to have that phrase struck from all currency. It presupposes a Theistic belief by all Americans which all Americans do not claim to have. It portrays an inaccurate image of Americans as being religious folk, which all are not. Money doesn't need religious slogans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Or just use a credit card or write checks for as many transactions as possible. Cash is already obsolete, with the exception of very small purchases. It's too bad that the phrase is on coins too. Eventually physical money will be replaced by some form of electronic transfer anyway. I give it another century at most. Probably it will be less.

Yeah we will probably have a cashless society too.......then the government will get rid of the credit cards and place a "mark" on you. This mark will let you buy or sell stuff. To make it easier they will place it on your right hand, or your head if you don't got a hand. But before you can do that you must worship the antichrist and give your life over to him!!! Well at least thats what christians tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vigile Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I would rather see the government officially delete it, but after reading this guy's comment on the video, I'd probably do it just to piss people like him off: look dumb asses,the bible has been through more then 2007 years, do you think a god of love willmake you pick between 100s of religons? i dont believe every single thing the bible says, i dont have a religon, i do believe in god.and besides if "in god we trust" offends you, then dont look at it...not hard, everytime i look at a bill i dont think "in god we trust". stop being a winey little bitch and deal with it. i hate stupid people.
