$5 In God We Trust

It's called political correctness and it sucks....

No its called taking away our freedom of speach.

Yes there is bigger things to worry about, like the economical downfall of America, crime rate, the fact we are still fighting a war that should have been done years ago. But that all brings us back to my assumption of why it is the way it is... As far as the war goes it could have been over a long time ago if it were'nt for the fact America is afraid of offending people that would call "our way to finish the war" Inhumane.

I'd say during the Vietnam times America was still reasonably religious.

If the actual war and use of torture hasn't been inhumane enough, then the only way left would be killing all civilians and dropping nukes all over the place.

1) Civilians aren't systematically genocided because it would cause an international backlash and cripple the US economy. The US survives every year because of its creditors, namely China, Japan and Saudi Arabia bailing them out. (Google this for yourself).

2) Nukes aren't used because it would spark a nuclear arms race around the world. Every two bit state would possess them and rightfully point them at America. Would you blame them? No, not really.

As for the actual "In God we trust" statement on dollar bills I actually found them to be really quite hypocritical of a nation that professes secularism and has secularism enshrined in its constitution. It's basically a pick'n'mix of religion, pick the bits you like, leave the rest alone.

And finally if your statements in this thread haven't already been hypocritical and slightly contradictory, you're angry at the removal of "In God We Trust" from dollar bills and yet want to go against the teachings of Jesus and inhumanely kill to acheive a hollow victory. :| I think you need to get your priorities straight.

Hey Forget, it's been bugging me for a while, so I wanted to ask; Is that Rhys Darby on your "Youre Awsome" sig? It sort of looks like him, but I can't tell.Jaks_Secret

Wait, what?

Why do people focus on crap like that?

Wow, nice fail you 3.

Good fix, hewkii. You beat me to it. ;)

But that fact of the matter is, is this country's foundation was built upon Christianity.Shrinekeeper

Good, hopefully they'll keep making America more secular, the way it should be. Def_Jef88

Actually it has been determined that the phrase is still there.

God completely decimated Sodam and Gamora (however you spell it).

No, its called political correctness. You can legally say whatever the hell you want, provided your not at your job or making threats. All you young neo-cons drive me crazy... So uninformed and opinionated.

That was God, not George W Bush. And it was Sodom and Gomorrah not Iraq.

Im not readin that wall. But I got a hint of what youre tryin to say. Thats pretty weak.

For good reason.

Good, every single bad thing in our countries, has stemmed from religion. Except, maybe certain psychotic individuals

Which relates how to Iraq exactly? :| Last time I checked sodomy was still outlawed in Iraq, but growing in acceptance in the US? Maybe you should be looking at perversion closer to home.

And if you mean terrorism, then no, no Al-Qaeda or militia groups were active before the 2003 invasion in which the nation was sent into a perpetual state of war. And even if you count the "terrorists" they amount to no more than a few thousand living amongst a nation of millions.

Maybe someone should start a war with the US for being perverse by your own standards. :|

I wasn't argueing with u just making a coment. Also America will be destroyed by God as well according to the bible.

I was just pointing out they where completely un related

how did this conversation even start?

Basically the TC thinks it's OK to be as inhumane as possible in warfare and it would acheive America victory. I kind of pointed out that it would end up being counter-productive and goes effectively against the teachings of Jesus which he seems to love and follow.

He then pointed out that Sodom ad Gomorrah was destroyed by God with vengeance, whereby I tried to explain that modern day Iraq does not equal Sodom and Gomorrah, but he strangely thinks it do.:?

I dont argue with you about the U.S. being pervers amongst other things. And according to the Bible the world will be destroyed by God, not just america.

we can at least say this country has strong roots of Christianity? or at least religious beliefs.Shrinekeeper

every country older then Utah has strong roots in religion.

Where do I say that they are alike, I just said God Decimated it, not that iraq was pervers. Nor did I say lets just glass the place and walk away. But I do think they are things we could/should do to bring OUR troops home.

Actually, there are a lot of people working to get "under God" out of the pledge. I just pledge under Tom Cruise.Jaks_Secret
