So the money has "in god we trust" on it! ours has a picture of a monarch who represents an outmoded and parasitic relationship with 'commoners', on it, but I dont dont give up using it just because I am against the monarchy.
Money is a useful tool, an to aid living and I would bet that a lot of people wouldnt even know about the religious frippery that was printed on it. It's easy for you to say the above quotes, but for me and my conscience as an American citizen, not that easy to ignore the frippery(your word) that's printed on the dollars.
Read my other post about who the "WE" designates, IN GOD "WE" TRUST

What a thoroughly ridiculous thing to get hung up on. Still hasn't answered my question about what he expects people to do instead, either.

Before he start anything,he hold the bible high,likewise all Houston Texas dome and say....the bible is blah,blah,blah.

Are you deliberately avoiding my replies, after I bent over backwards earlier trying to show you how to post this thread in the first place? Because that's really fucking rude of you. Eat a dick.

No but an American citizen can be a true Scotsman.

One fairly reliable and easily detectedl visual clue to a person's sincerity is the coordination between the expression worn around the mouth and those around the eyes. As FBI interagators say, a person whose mouth smiles at a different rythm than his eyes squints is lying though his ass. Viewed in this light, Joe Osteen has the most archetypical liar's face I've ever seen, even more obvious than Pat Robertson.

Leaving and renouncing my country? Will never happen, scratch that $.02 from your book of recommendations.
I'm not suggesting anything. I'm asking what YOU think should happen. You can't choose whether or not you're an atheist. If you don't believe in God, you are one.
So what should these people do instead of using dollars, to avoid being hypocrites? I don't know,that's why I am asking all atheists for their $.02
Just like your handle "ELDINERO" translated "The Money", that's your identity in this forum.
Americans all over the world are known and connected to green bucks and mistakely labelled as a Christian country for their dollars says so...IN GOD WE TRUST

Sorry, not intentionally done,just not to sabe with the forum round a round system yet..........do I have to keep refreshing or going back to new posts?
Anyway,I just found your last post and answer it.... I guess I'm not the only one suffering with PTSD
