In God we Trust

[RoadToad]

Atheists will NOT win on this issue....at least I hope not.

God is plastered all over our founding DOCUMENTS. Read a few.

Had our founding fathers ever thought that our beloved gubment would try to remove God from our lives, well they might have taken some other issues.

Separation of Church and State or whatever you WANT to call it was all about not creating a CHURCH of the United States.....The Church of England and government of England were one in the same. Our founders didn't want that, but they certainly also DIDN'T want gubment banning the 10 commandments, or redacting GOD from documents, or GOD FORBID....gay marriage.

GIVE me a break.

Please show me where God is "plastered all over our founding DOCUMENTS." Because despite your condescending suggestion that I "read a few," i already have. Apparently more than you, because I can tell you that God is NOT "plastered all over" any of our founding documents. The references to God are actually rather sparse. And the government (or "gubment," as you like to call it) has never banned the 10 Commandments, nor has anybody asked them to.

And much as you would like to believe otherwise, it's not just atheists arguing for separation of church & state. There are quite a few religious leaders with the wisdom to see how mixing religion and government is bad for both.

"Do you swear to tell the truth, the WHOLE truth and nothing but the truth........So help you GOD."

I guess the very FOUNDATION of our judicial system means nothing.

Here is some reading for you:

AND if banning the 10 Commandments has not been going on, then, what do you call this?
