Link posted on a nonbeliever's forum, to KAIT in Jonesboro, AR : Atheist to sue over 'In God We Trust' on money
My response.. so at last we come to this:
"..he'll ask a federal court to order removal of the national motto "In God We Trust" from U-S coins and currency."
What I'm thinking is, whether or not we like the "under God" or "In God We Trust" phrases, they're part of our history. They make us nonbelievers a little uncomfortable, but so what, it's nothing. Again Mr Newdow trying to use litigious means to forcibly take something away from American culture.
I'm beginning to have strong doubts about this strategy. It's very negative, it pisses people off; I don't think anything good is going to come of it. If the courts decide that the slogan must be removed from our currency, think of what it'll be like for us: We'll be absolutely hated.
If we're to be successful in the long term, somehow, we as a group need to be a positive force - we need to be some kind of asset to our communities; we need to contribute something, not take something away.
