"In God We Trust" did not begin to appear on US coinage until 1876. It did not appear on currency until the 1950s. We did just fine for most of our history without such a divisive motto. It should be removed. The motto does not prevent atheists from using it, but it does i ...[text shortened]... to taxpayer money. The wall of separation between state and church should be solidly enforced.

As for "In God we trust," get rid of it; I couldn't care less. It's meaningless symbolism. But I do think it's a little ridiculous that atheists complain about a little meaningless symbolism when public schools are practically required by law to teach atheism to children- which is anything but meaningless symbolism.

When you start debating, I'll respond in kind. If you're just going to spew uninformed garbage then I'll just save myself some time by justifiably calling you an idiot.

No one wants to see a regular poster make a complete idiot of him or herself when perhaps worse for drink. sh76 has already tried defending you, I assume because he knows deep down that the "complete idiot" barb was right on the nail and a warranted dismissal of your uncouth and stupid remarks thus far..
