Judge Tosses Atheist Lawsuit Out

Shouldn't these Atheist guys be trying to abolish something any reasonable person with at least a little common sense can all agree on? Maybe something like abolishing The Westboro Baptist Church? Toph_Girl250

How exactly would they do that?

Well there's that pesky 1st Amendment thing...

I get mad at the phrase but then I cross my eyes and see In Dog We Trust and then I am not mad because I like dogs so I'm happy.

It should stay. People will whine about anything. Does seeing it hurt you? Does it burn a whole in your pocket? Just ignore it. I've seen things in life that are against my religion but I don't be making lawsuits or anything. I don't care for it but it doesn't bother me either. 

"We have been assured Sir, in the sacred writings, (he was holding a Bible) that except the Lord build, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without His concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the Builders of Babel" .

That was Benjamin Franklin, giving the CALL TO PRAYER at the Constitutional Convention.



I guess Ben and the other authors of the Constitution, didn't know about the "separation of church and state" in the Constitution.

That's probably because  - it's not in the Constitution.

I don't see an issue with it being removed from the currency. Some of us don't believe in god, after all.

Some people have a problem that makes them concerned over the dumbest of matters. if they aren't bitching and/or suing something must be wrong. You can sue a ham sandwich but that doesn't mean you should go through with it. Each minute that passes by makes society even more stupid. Solaryellow

We should be more worried about the fact that the Fourth Reich seems to be rising in Quebec right now.  

ACLJ Applauds Federal Court Decision Dismissing Atheist Lawsuit Challenging National Motto on U.S. Currency after Dr. Michael Newdow and the Freedom From Religion Foundation brought the lawsuit in federal court to have In God We Trust removed from coins and currency in the US.

The Supreme Court has affirmed that it is perfectly legal to have the motto on the money and the federal judge backed it up again.

Should it remain or should it go? Remember that while there is a seperation of church and state, the motto does not define any particular religion.

If these people don't like seeing "In God we trust" on their money, then they can just hand that money over to me.

Not sure what Constitution you've read, but it is in the U.S. Constitution. And since we're cherry-picking quotes by Founding Fathers I'll give you this one from Thomas Jefferson - 

"I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their "legislature" should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between church and State."

I don't understand why Christians aren't bothered by it. Associating God with Mammon seems pretty blasphemous to me.

It shouldn't be on our money or in the pledge of allegiance ,but I don't think most people care enough to change it. Its honestly not worth the money or legal hassle involved.

If it gets removed I'd appluad, but if it stays I don't care either.  I'm more annoyed that way too many americans think the saying was on money and in pledge from the get go which is 100% false.

What money or legal hassle? It'd be a pretty simple matter to have the phrase removed from our money.
