I might wonder too, if more Christers were doing their religion CORRECTLY, they wouldn't need all those little affirmations everywhere to carry them through the day because their FAITH would be working in them that they would be experiencing His 'whatever the fuck it is they are always going on about all the time' and wouldn't need all the piffle and dreck too to make them feel like it's working.
I think things like emblazoning "In God We Trust" on all manner of, if you think about it, incompatible or theologically inappropriate items, is a manifestation that at some level, they realize their slacker/scripture cherry picking approach to a religion that is OBVIOUSLY not tolerant of that approach in it's sacred writings, and that they are trying oh so hard, to compensate in easy (but stupid) ways to salve their conscience and hopefully deflect God's wrath away from their craven attempts at proper fealty and obedience to the(ir) Lord, that they feel compelled to engage in this dog and pony show bullshit and aggravate not only God, but the rest of us that realize just what, and why, they are doing it.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
