This lawsuit pops up every 4 years or so.
Nothing to see here. Move along.

I agree with them, same as politics are not allowed here, religion and God should not be mixed with government. We say "separation of church and state" but yet we do have "In God we Trust" on all of our currency. The United States has always been a melting pot, but never has it been so much so as today. Religion on the other hand, through out history has been one of the biggest causes of political strife and wars.


Now you may lock this thread

It's not like "In God We Trust" was always been printed on our currancy....

The motto first appeared on a United States coin in 1864, but In God We Trust did not become the official U.S. national motto until after the passage of an Act of Congress in 1956. (source)

Also of note, "Under God", was only added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954 during the Red Scare.

Personally, I would rather oaths be taken referencing the spirit of the governed rather than a deity. But that is just my take and I will stop right there before I cross the line into politics.

Are these the same people that sued McDonald's because their ass got fat? This country perplexes me sometimes. Can we vote these clowns off the island?

I am a Atheist .. used to be an Agnostic but even that became too spiritual for me ..don't believe in ghost either...

So how do you feel about putting your hand on the bible in a courthouse and swearing to God? I would imagine it wouldn't matter much and be meaningless, correct?

You don't have to. There's some way to just affirm you are telling the truth if you are an athiest in court.

Apples and oranges.

Maybe if they ate more of those, they wouldn't have been so fat in the first place. :wink:
