Teddy Roosevelt: ‘In God We Trust’ on Money is ‘Sacrilege’
February 12, 2012 by Hemant Mehta 21 Comments
When the phrase “In God We Trust” was going to be placed on the $20 gold coin in 1907, President Teddy Roosevelt was against it (PDF):

“My own feeling in the matter is due to my very firm conviction that to put such a motto on coins, or to use it in any kindred manner, not only does no good but does positive harm, and is in effect irreverence, which comes dangerously close to sacrilege…”

That, from a president who was a Christian, a Sunday school teacher, and a Republican… those days are long gone."
Teddy Roosevelt In God We Trust on Money is Sacrilege

ROOSEVELT DROPPED IN GOD WE TRUST - President Says Such a Motto on Coin Is Irreverence Close to Sacrilege. NO LAW COMMANDS ITS USE He Trusts Congress Will Not Direct Him to Replace the Exalted Phrase That Invited Constant Levity. - View Article - NYTimes.com
I guess he wasn't very persuasive.
Oh but he was, that nonsense happened later under men who didn't respect God...
I don't think you're qualified to determine who does or doesn't respect God. The point which you missed entirely is that if those words can withstand a court challenge on our currency, then it can on police cars too, so your war on religion is thwarted at least in this instance.
My war is the same as the founders of this nation, religious neutrality. That is why they founded a secular nation. If we didn't need God mentioned in the Constitution, we don't need it mentioned on police cars.
Lying piece of crap commie.
 
What specific religion is the state promoting?
Judaism and Islam in this case. They have one God, the Christians have three.

So it isn't supporting or elevation one religion over the other. Not seeing the issue.
It is promoting any religion that believes in God over any that doesn't or those with no faith at all. The police are supposed to be religiously neutral, like all other forms of our secular government.

Tell us, if they were handing out Bibles with traffic tickets, would you consider that over the line?

You are equating handing out Bibles to having a bumper sticker?
Both promote religion, which you are not allowed to do here. So, answer the question?
Go Christianity, there retard.
 
Time for a lawsuit. Once again mixing government and religion.
Who's the plaintiff?
Whoever wants to file the lawsuit. This is a quite obvious case of violation of church and state.

Liar. Islamabad God is satan. Judaism and Christianity believe in the one true God. Jews just don't believe Jesus is the messiah. Learn something before you spout off your asshole.

Great, then you are all for Theocracies and total against the founders of this nation. The Taliban agrees with you BTW.

Jews and Muslims have one God. Christianity has three, otherwise who was Jesus seeking help from while dying on the cross, Himself?

The people, who pay for our secular government.

Then you better sue the president for saying god bless America on a government owned mic, in a government owned building while being guarded by government secret service
If I could win and get him, and everyone else, to stop saying that, I would.

Well it's a constitutional issue is it not?

You are a son of satan, you have no understanding of God. Our God is a triune God, the trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Islam is satans religion. Jews believe in God but not Jesus as his son.
 
Nobody can say people are very smart around here. This what is going to happen. Every other group will want their god represented. The Wiccans. the Muslims, and you might end up like Detroit with a big picture of the devil. Most likely The United Civil Liberty Union will take the county to court and have it removed as it should be. Separation of Church and state remember? That will cost the county tax payers money. Can you people hire someone with a bit of education and intelligence in matters like this. The nice hateful letter sent to Wisconsin not only sealed the deal. but showed the lack of decorum that most people assume exists in Southern Illinois .
