It's perfectly reasonable to not want religion on our currency, but a petition would have done fine. A lawsuit is pretty redundant.

Just use a credit card then, you damn dirty atheist. (OK guys...this is a Planet of the Apes reference, not a statement of personal belief that atheists are actually dirtier than theists) . Get over yourself. Suing for stupid crap should have a downside for the filer. It costs us all.

Col Lenertz - If we won the right to remove "in god we trust" would you get over yourself?

how much does it cost? I like when people say it costs us all... but how much... is this cost quantifiable... is it even measurable... If it costs a few pennies... I am fine with that....

TSgt Hardy - You are confusing rights with winning a lawsuit. You don't "win" rights...they are inherent, from God. Frivolous lawsuits should cost the filer when he loses.

Since the law states that all salaries and wages must be paid in legal currency, we should just give him his bi-monthly check and tell him to have fun cashing it. since he doesn't like having In God We Trust upon it and there is no alternative usable currency, he can figure out another way to go buy his beer, food and entertainment.

you do realize as a business owner you can be sued out of existence for discriminating against customers for a variety of reasons...

As a final note to my discussion with 1stlt Nick S., I refer you to the following video, showing how the liberals at one of our premier Ivy League institutions feel about the First Amendment:

As an Ivy League law school graduate myself, I am quite frankly ashamed of this display of intolerance and ignorance. But, again, it is typical. If you don't say what they approve of, than you will be punished accordingly.

Yale fail: Ivy leaguers sign 'petition' to repeal First Amendment
Trigger warning!

This has been a long standing fight.

Aronow v. United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aronow v. United States was the first case to challenge the inclusion of "In God We Trust" on U.S. currency.[1] The law it challenged was "31 U.S.C. § 324a "the inscription 'In God we Trust'...shall appear on all United States currency and coins".[1]

Lest we forget, these battles continue year-to-year, and even generation-to-generation. Unfortunately, in SCOTUS, typically, we only have to lose once, and it will be the law of the land.

True that the fight is long but as more old religious guard die out the fight will be won. More and more people 18-29 are identifying as non-religious which are who will replace old guard....

Reminds me of the old saying, "There are no atheist in a foxhole". Perhaps the good Marine never had the experience of sharing a foxhole, while incoming arty is taking place of machine gun fire has you held in place. I often wonder why the religious types don't go on the offensive against any non-believers in the same way they go after Christians.

Not much on reading, eh? Try again. That was a saying by Rev. Cummings at Bataan. Take it up with him. Along with the rest of your associates.

FYI, I am an agnostic and if anyone treated atheists or whatever is believed in or not, I would defend you, also. Live and let live. The group you note are a bunch of nutty progressives.

I suggest this guy not come to Lake Charles La. We have that same saying on all our police units. Personally I am sick and tired of hearing what these so call atheist want. I know we are not the same country I grew up in NOR took an oath to defend and fight for but it is still my country along with yours if your an American citizen. I also am not attracted to what is on the US bills we use to purchase things with but when I do look at them I look at the corner to see if it is a 1 or 5 or 10 or 20 or 100. I am mostly a plastic person anyway. I have a bigger problem with this site than I do with IN GOD WE TRUST. I do trust in God to the max also.
