It's getting to that point Tbh. For people who claim that they're tired of religious people pushing their beliefs down their throats they sure seem to be taking a liking to it seeing as how much they're doing it themselves.

Sweet, "you don't get out that much arguments"

Well drive down any street in almost any town in the US and there's a religious church with a sign trying to bring you in.
Jehovah witness and mormons go door to door
There's plenty of religious 700 club type preachers on tv.
County clerk pushing her religious beliefs to keep gays from getting married.
Politicians like Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee pushing their religious views into hot topics.

Literally hundreds of thousands of people following these people pushing their religious lifestyles on others. I run into religious nuts constantly.
Seriously, I don't know any atheist "pushing their atheist lifestyle" on others.

is why i think you're talking directly out your ass

Secularism isn't being sold, per se, it's being sought after.

Not true..

[DMC]

Not true..
Sure it is. The world isn't becoming more religious. It's become less religious. By this I don't mean how many people say they believe a god exists, but how many people live their lives in fear that it's true? Not nearly as many as did 100 years ago.

Even if that were true, it would be totally justified after thousands of years of religious persecution and war. They used to execute people for just doubting religion. And now you're gonna say non-theists can't peacefully promote their ideas? lol

What happens when a Muslim state worker refuses a drivers license to a woman based on his beliefs?

oh wait, that's wrong... because it's not Christian..... :wow :lol

Hypocrisy level set to maximum. :lmao

News flash fucking idiots, marriage was a concept long before your sky daddy and is not in the sole domain of religion, never mind that this nation was founded on secular laws until religious fucktards started to meddle with it.

Atheism is just a supremacist group trying to ban everything that they don't agree with.

Oh no!!! This car has "In God we Trust" written on it. This must mean that the ENTIRE police force is under the influence of mass delusion and it needs to be remedied!!! Oh no!!! Someone said "god"!!! That is soooooo terrible!!! Someone doesn't believe in evolution!!! OH NO!!!

For you believers, i think you should follow I Corinthians 8:13

Non believers, what does it matter if someone believes in whatever religion? I get the whole decal sticker argument but even if that is taken off, it's not like you won't find something else to complain about.

Both sides are REALLY annoying.

So since there is no child pornography on cop cars, I guess that makes your argument completely invalid because you cannot provide evidence. Therefore the topic is irrelevant as the situation does not exist.

It's advertising.

advertise
verb ad·ver·tise \ˈad-vər-ˌtīz\
: to make the public aware of something (such as a product) that is being sold

: to make a public announcement (in a newspaper, on the Internet, etc.) about something that is wanted or available

: to cause people to notice (something)
Shrinkflation: how things get smaller

ad·ver·tisedad·ver·tis·ing
Full Definition of ADVERTISE

transitive verb
1
: to make something known to : notify
2
a : to make publicly and generally known <advertising their readiness to make concessions>
b : to announce publicly especially by a printed notice or a broadcast
c : to call public attention to especially by emphasizing desirable qualities so as to arouse a desire to buy or patronize : promote

Pretty simple.

[Blake]

They are simply showing their stance.

Using public tax dollars.

and frankly, they shouldn't have a religious stance.

[xellos88330]

1. They are not selling anything.

2. They are not saying that you want it, or it is available.

It is definitely there to be noticed though in the transitive form, but in no way to promote faith in god. Just to acknowledge it.

Don't be disingenuous.

Just take off the stickers. It's so simple.

Do you believe muslims trust them more or less with those decals? I think less imo.

There are 10 people. 8 are believers and 2 are not. Of those 10 people, only 2 are not comfortable trusting you because of a car decal. 8 people are more inclined to trust you because of similar ideals as depicted by the decal.

Where is the fallacy? You already proven that you are less trusting of the cops because their ideals differ from your own. How did you prove it??? You want it removed.

[xellos88330]

so you're saying they want the general public to be more trusting.

Do you believe muslims trust them more or less with those decals? I think less imo.

How many Christians are there in the US than muslims?

[xellos88330]

Of course it's promoting it.

Don't be disingenuous.

Just take off the stickers. It's so simple.

It would be simpler to leave them on and not whine about it.

[ChumpDumper]

There are 10 people. 8 are believers and 2 are not. Of those 10 people, only 2 are not comfortable trusting you because of a car decal. 8 people are more inclined to trust you because of similar ideals as depicted by the decal.How do you prove anyone is more trusting of anyone because of a decal? There are thousands of believers who have been convicted of heinous crimes.


Where is the fallacy? You already proven that you are less trusting of the cops because their ideals differ from your own. How did you prove it??? You want it removed.no God decal = no decal related trust issue with anyone

It's so simple. Why can't you understand that?

[ChumpDumper]

It would be simpler to leave them on and not whine about it.No, it wouldn't. you still have decal related issues.

No decals, no decal related issues.

It's so simple.

[xellos88330]

Stop worrying about a retarded decal and there wouldn't be any issues.

[xellos88330]

Things would be so much simpler if atheists would mind their own business and quit being such giant douches about every little thing that doesn't fit in with their value system.

the fallacy is you pushing your appeal to the masses off as common sense fact instead of just being your opinion.

best scenario in my opinion is just do an honest job as a policeman with no religious advertising on your car.

That way you can have people trust you more objectively without any preconceived religious bias for or against you.

Ok, go to Mecca and shout out Allah is a lie. Odds are that you won't do such a thing because it could be dangerously offensive right? Are you not exercising common sense that your opinion is not a popular one therefore must be kept to yourself?

[Blake]

Things would be so much simpler if atheists would mind their own business and quit being such giant douches about every little thing that doesn't fit in with their value system.

Actually it's Christians that aren't minding their own business and being giant douches about things that don't fit their value system.

Just get rid of God decals. Problem solved.

No God decal-related problem has ever happened from the absence of a God decal on a cop car.

We're talking about religious advertising..

Then aren't you all trying to advertise atheism by wanting it removed?

[ChumpDumper]

With that same logic, these problems wouldn't happen if one of the groups eliminated the other.

So basically... the theists need to remove the atheists so there wouldn't be any problem. On the other side, the atheist needs to eliminate the theist so there wouldn't be any problem.

Yep... that is the way to peaceful living in an equal environment.

[Blake]

That wasn't the question now was it. Does your common sense dictate that it is indeed a bad idea? That is the question the scenario was asking.

Your scenario is an international goal post move. Of course it's dangerous now to do something like that in Mecca. Doesn't mean I shouldn't have the right to do it.

What hasty generalization are you referring to

[xellos88330]

Your scenario is an international goal post move. Of course it's dangerous now to do something like that in Mecca. Doesn't mean I shouldn't have the right to do it.

So shouldn't it be well within the rights of the cops putting those stickers on their cruisers? You want the right to be able to say something like that. So the cops shouldn't have that same right?

[Blake]

Then aren't you all trying to advertise atheism by wanting it removed?

No.

You're basically saying that any car driving around without decals is advertising atheism.

[xellos88330]

No.

You're basically saying that any car driving around without decals is advertising atheism.

No. The act of wanting them removed is advertising atheism.

[Blake]

So shouldn't it be well within the rights of the cops putting those stickers on their cruisers? You want the right to be able to say something like that. So the cops shouldn't have that same right?

No because the cruisers are paid for with public funding. They do not have the right to use public property this capacity to advertise their religious beliefs.

[Blake]

No. The act of wanting them removed is advertising atheism.

No, it's not wanting an established religion pushed on the public per the constitution.

[RD2191]

Rob pls :cry
:lol

[RD2191]

Why are atheists so salty about a sticker expressing belief in a "make belief" God? How can something that doesn't exist offend you? If the sticker said "in Zeus we trust" would atheists care?

[xellos88330]

Why are atheists so salty about a sticker expressing belief in a "make belief" God? How can something that doesn't exist offend you? If the sticker said "in Zeus we trust" would atheists care?

Because it hurts their feelings that people still do things that differ from their ideology. Especially since they are so smart and know better than everyone else.

[xellos88330]

Nope. There would be no advertisement of any belief or lack thereof.

Then why do you want it removed?

[RD2191]

Because it hurts their feelings that people still do things that differ from their ideology. Especially since they are so smart and know better than everyone else.

I think it's because deep down inside they know that God does exist. Why else would anyone go through so much trouble to prove that something doesn't exist? It doesn't make sense at all. I mean it's pretty well established that the Easter bunny doesn't exist yet I don't see people trying to take the Easter bunny down.:lol

[ChumpDumper]

[xellos88330]

Straw man fallacy.

Well, it is advertising God and promoting god right? So you must feel compelled to do it. If it were indeed a strawman, you would be in the "i don't give a fuck" crowd like myself.

[xellos88330]

In the end... it is just a fucking bumper sticker. A bumper sticker. I see all kinds of offensive bumper stickers all over the place and I am not bitching about it. That is their prerogative and not mine.

[I. Hustle]

Doesn't affect me. It's not like the cops are there when I need them. Since I don't break the law I don't encounter them that way either.

You missed that comeback on me, partner. I honestly didn't even notice it was on the cars.

Well for me, I don't like to see tax dollars wasted on silly, unconstitutional stuff.

[DMC]

Dense huh? If it isn't about the word "god" then why the fuck does a decal bother you so fucking much?

It's not about bother. It's about secularism. Do you even know what that means? Separation between religious and state matters. Would you want an Imam running the country? Do you want to answer to religious leaders? Would you like the 10 Commandments to be made into law? If not, ask yourself why. That's god.


Atheism is just a supremacist group trying to ban everything that they don't agree with.

Well no, that would be the Baptists.


Oh no!!! This car has "In God we Trust" written on it. This must mean that the ENTIRE police force is under the influence of mass delusion and it needs to be remedied!!! Oh no!!! Someone said "god"!!! That is soooooo terrible!!! Someone doesn't believe in evolution!!! OH NO!!!

You are free to tattoo the word "god" on your forehead because I don't pay taxes for it. What I do pay for should not be used to invoke a religious sentiment. Can a police car not be effective unless it has "god" written on it? What kind of faggot would write that on a police car anyhow? A religious one. What if he was Muslim? Could he write "Alah u Akbar" on it? Would you be ok with that? Of course not.

Fucking atheists need to grow up.
Look who's talking, the invisible sky daddy defender.

Well, it sure as hell isn't me keeping them on. I just don't see the point whether they are on or off. It doesn't bother me. I see offensive crap on bumper stickers all over the place. I also don't believe that the bumper sticker is malicious in nature. I can understand the outrage if those stickers were REQUIRED to be on there because according to the first amendment, no law can be passed to promote religious agenda. If those stickers helps the cops feel safe from harm, then shouldn't we let them? Especially after all of the anti-cop propaganda that is out there. I mean, you most likely aren't a cop, and neither am I. We aren't risking our safety to ensure the safety of others. If we were, we would most likely want to at least have the feeling of being secure and safe with all this bullshit backlash against the police.

At the same time, you aren't a cop who believes in God. How could you possibly understand? You can only see one perspective and that is your own. I have immediate family members who are law enforcement officers and some of the shit they tell me, I can understand why they would feel inclined to place that bumper sticker on their cruiser.

Let's see how people react to that.

[Quetzal-X]

"In God[s]We Trust"

[Chris]

xellos8830 doing the Lord's work in here, got some of ya'll squirming tbh :lol You can't save them all xellos, but we can certainly pray for them to find their paths. Chump and Blake like facts, so here's a few facts for you take in while you're busy being offended.

"In God we trust" as a national motto and on U.S. currency has been the subject of numerous unsuccessful lawsuits. The motto was first challenged in Aronow v. United States in 1970, but the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled: "It is quite obvious that the national motto and the slogan on coinage and currency 'In God We Trust' has nothing whatsoever to do with the establishment of religion. Its use is of patriotic or ceremonial character and bears no true resemblance to a governmental sponsorship of a religious exercise." The decision was cited in Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow, a 2004 case on the Pledge of Allegiance. These acts of "ceremonial deism" are "protected from Establishment Clause scrutiny chiefly because they have lost through rote repetition any significant religious content." In Zorach v. Clauson (1952), the Supreme Court also held that the nation's "institutions presuppose a Supreme Being" and that government recognition of God does not constitute the establishment of a state church as the Constitution's authors intended to prohibit.
Aside from constitutional objections, President Theodore Roosevelt took issue with using the motto on coinage as he considered using God's name on money to be sacrilege.

The motto IN GOD WE TRUST was placed on United States coins largely because of the increased religious sentiment existing during the Civil War. Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase received many appeals from devout persons throughout the country, urging that the United States recognize the Deity on United States coins. From Treasury Department records, it appears that the first such appeal came in a letter dated November 13, 1861. It was written to Secretary Chase by Rev. M. R. Watkinson, Minister of the Gospel from Ridleyville, Pennsylvania, and read:

Dear Sir: You are about to submit your annual report to the Congress respecting the affairs of the national finances.

One fact touching our currency has hitherto been seriously overlooked. I mean the recognition of the Almighty God in some form on our coins.

You are probably a Christian. What if our Republic were not shattered beyond reconstruction? Would not the antiquaries of succeeding centuries rightly reason from our past that we were a heathen nation? What I propose is that instead of the goddess of liberty we shall have next inside the 13 stars a ring inscribed with the words PERPETUAL UNION; within the ring the allseeing eye, crowned with a halo; beneath this eye the American flag, bearing in its field stars equal to the number of the States united; in the folds of the bars the words GOD, LIBERTY, LAW.

This would make a beautiful coin, to which no possible citizen could object. This would relieve us from the ignominy of heathenism. This would place us openly under the Divine protection we have personally claimed. From my hearth I have felt our national shame in disowning God as not the least of our present national disasters.

To you first I address a subject that must be agitated.

As a result, Secretary Chase instructed James Pollock, Director of the Mint at Philadelphia, to prepare a motto, in a letter dated November 20, 1861:

Dear Sir: No nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in His defense. The trust of our people in God should be declared on our national coins.

You will cause a device to be prepared without unnecessary delay with a motto expressing in the fewest and tersest words possible this national recognition.

It was found that the Act of Congress dated January 18, 1837, prescribed the mottoes and devices that should be placed upon the coins of the United States. This meant that the mint could make no changes without the enactment of additional legislation by the Congress. In December 1863, the Director of the Mint submitted designs for new one-cent coin, two-cent coin, and three-cent coin to Secretary Chase for approval. He proposed that upon the designs either OUR COUNTRY; OUR GOD or GOD, OUR TRUST should appear as a motto on the coins. In a letter to the Mint Director on December 9, 1863, Secretary Chase stated:

I approve your mottoes, only suggesting that on that with the Washington obverse the motto should begin with the word OUR, so as to read OUR GOD AND OUR COUNTRY. And on that with the shield, it should be changed so as to read: IN GOD WE TRUST.

The Congress passed the Act of April 22, 1864. This legislation changed the composition of the one-cent coin and authorized the minting of the two-cent coin. The Mint Director was directed to develop the designs for these coins for final approval of the Secretary. IN GOD WE TRUST first appeared on the 1864 two-cent coin.

Another Act of Congress passed on March 3, 1865. It allowed the Mint Director, with the Secretary's approval, to place the motto on all gold and silver coins that "shall admit the inscription thereon." Under the Act, the motto was placed on the gold double-eagle coin, the gold eagle coin, and the gold half-eagle coin. It was also placed on the silver dollar coin, the half-dollar coin and the quarter-dollar coin, and on the nickel three-cent coin beginning in 1866. Later, Congress passed the Coinage Act of February 12, 1873. It also said that the Secretary "may cause the motto IN GOD WE TRUST to be inscribed on such coins as shall admit of such motto."

The use of IN GOD WE TRUST has not been uninterrupted. The motto disappeared from the five-cent coin in 1883, and did not reappear until production of the Jefferson nickel began in 1938. Since 1938, all United States coins bear the inscription. Later, the motto was found missing from the new design of the double-eagle gold coin and the eagle gold coin shortly after they appeared in 1907. In response to a general demand, Congress ordered it restored, and the Act of May 18, 1908, made it mandatory on all coins upon which it had previously appeared. IN GOD WE TRUST was not mandatory on the one-cent coin and five-cent coin. It could be placed on them by the Secretary or the Mint Director with the Secretary's approval.

The motto has been in continuous use on the one-cent coin since 1909, and on the ten-cent coin since 1916. It also has appeared on all gold coins and silver dollar coins, half-dollar coins, and quarter-dollar coins struck since July 1, 1908.

A law passed by the 84th Congress (P.L. 84-140) and approved by the President on July 30, 1956, the President approved a Joint Resolution of the 84th Congress, declaring IN GOD WE TRUST the national motto of the United States. IN GOD WE TRUST was first used on paper money in 1957, when it appeared on the one-dollar silver certificate. The first paper currency bearing the motto entered circulation on October 1, 1957. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) was converting to the dry intaglio printing process. During this conversion, it gradually included IN GOD WE TRUST in the back design of all classes and denominations of currency.

As a part of a comprehensive modernization program the BEP successfully developed and installed new high-speed rotary intaglio printing presses in 1957. These allowed BEP to print currency by the dry intaglio process, 32 notes to the sheet. One-dollar silver certificates were the first denomination printed on the new high-speed presses. They included IN GOD WE TRUST as part of the reverse design as BEP adopted new dies according to the law. The motto also appeared on one-dollar silver certificates of the 1957-A and 1957-B series.

BEP prints United States paper currency by an intaglio process from engraved plates. It was necessary, therefore, to engrave the motto into the printing plates as a part of the basic engraved design to give it the prominence it deserved.

One-dollar silver certificates series 1935, 1935-A, 1935-B, 1935-C, 1935-D, 1935-E, 1935-F, 1935-G, and 1935-H were all printed on the older flat-bed presses by the wet intaglio process. P.L. 84-140 recognized that an enormous expense would be associated with immediately replacing the costly printing plates. The law allowed BEP to gradually convert to the inclusion of IN GOD WE TRUST on the currency. Accordingly, the motto is not found on series 1935-E and 1935-F one-dollar notes. By September 1961, IN GOD WE TRUST had been added to the back design of the Series 1935-G notes. Some early printings of this series do not bear the motto. IN GOD WE TRUST appears on all series 1935-H one-dollar silver certificates.

lol tard. you've never interacted with me before, stfu son :lol

You have never interacted with me either. Practice what you preach boy.

[xellos88330]

So you believe in god, yet you want to take everything literally? Tell me how does that work for you?

Definitely believe in God, but don't take everything literally. No fun in that.

You want examples of people who take things literally.... look at the ones bitching about a damn bumper sticker.

[xellos88330]

I think I might sneak around and put bumper stickers on cop cars that say "Satan is the Almighty!"

Let's see how people react to that.

I would most likely laugh my ass off.

[xellos88330]

No, that isn't how it works. It's not a bumper sticker. Don't be even more stupid about this.

Looks like a bumper sticker to me. You say God doesn't exist because he simply doesn't exist within the confines of our current knowledge. So I am curious how you can say that a bumper sticker is not a bumper sticker. I would love an explanation for that. Especially when I can clearly see a bumper sticker.

[xellos88330]

Tax dollars are spent to put them on. Who paid their salaries while they were out putting stickers on cars?

You ignore very relevant questions because answering them exposes your ignorance, bias and predisposition to believe nonsense.

It's amazing how you want to defend something that ignores common fucking sense.

LMAO!!! So a person cannot do what they want to with their own salary now?

How in the hell is that not a supremacist statement? I am ignorant and biased huh? You are the one trying to force a person to spend money that they have risked their life to earn in service to the community in a way that YOU deem correct.

[xellos88330]

Smh. Op:

" Gary Parsons, the sheriff in Lee County in Virginia, said his office spent a total of $50 to have the decals added to about 25 vehicles."


and who paid for the cop cars?

They also received funding and donations from private citizens in amounts GREATER than $50.

I don't know about you, but I donate to the blue regularly and it is most definitely more than $50 annually. Not all money the police receive is in the form of taxes. Of course, you would know that wouldn't you?

[BD24]

Definitely believe in God, but don't take everything literally. No fun in that.

Oh REALLY??


Definitely not a meltdown. I am just having a great time. If I were melting down, I probably wouldn't be posting because my comp would be destroyed.

[ChumpDumper]

Looks like a bumper sticker to me.It's not, so you can stop calling it a bumper sticker. it's not even on a bumper.
You say God doesn't exist because he simply doesn't exist within the confines of our current knowledge.I never said any such thing. Why do you have to resort to lying?
So I am curious how you can say that a bumper sticker is not a bumper sticker.It's not on a bumper. It's a decal
I would love an explanation for that. Especially when I can clearly see a bumper sticker.Do you call the decal on the door a bumper sticker?

Yes or no.

Just quit lying, OK. What would God think of your lying?

[ChumpDumper]

They also received funding and donations from private citizens in amounts GREATER than $50.

I don't know about you, but I donate to the blue regularly and it is most definitely more than $50 annually. Not all money the police receive is in the form of taxes. Of course, you would know that wouldn't you?Do they work for the government?

Yes or no.

No lies, please.

[Blake]

xellos8830 doing the Lord's work in here, got some of ya'll squirming tbh :lol You can't save them all xellos, but we can certainly pray for them to find their paths. Chump and Blake like facts, so here's a few facts for you take in while you're busy being offended.

"In God we trust" as a national motto and on U.S. currency has been the subject of numerous unsuccessful lawsuits. The motto was first challenged in Aronow v. United States in 1970, but the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled: "It is quite obvious that the national motto and the slogan on coinage and currency 'In God We Trust' has nothing whatsoever to do with the establishment of religion. Its use is of patriotic or ceremonial character and bears no true resemblance to a governmental sponsorship of a religious exercise." The decision was cited in Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow, a 2004 case on the Pledge of Allegiance. These acts of "ceremonial deism" are "protected from Establishment Clause scrutiny chiefly because they have lost through rote repetition any significant religious content." In Zorach v. Clauson (1952), the Supreme Court also held that the nation's "institutions presuppose a Supreme Being" and that government recognition of God does not constitute the establishment of a state church as the Constitution's authors intended to prohibit.
Aside from constitutional objections, President Theodore Roosevelt took issue with using the motto on coinage as he considered using God's name on money to be sacrilege.

The motto IN GOD WE TRUST was placed on United States coins largely because of the increased religious sentiment existing during the Civil War. Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase received many appeals from devout persons throughout the country, urging that the United States recognize the Deity on United States coins. From Treasury Department records, it appears that the first such appeal came in a letter dated November 13, 1861. It was written to Secretary Chase by Rev. M. R. Watkinson, Minister of the Gospel from Ridleyville, Pennsylvania, and read:

Dear Sir: You are about to submit your annual report to the Congress respecting the affairs of the national finances.

One fact touching our currency has hitherto been seriously overlooked. I mean the recognition of the Almighty God in some form on our coins.

You are probably a Christian. What if our Republic were not shattered beyond reconstruction? Would not the antiquaries of succeeding centuries rightly reason from our past that we were a heathen nation? What I propose is that instead of the goddess of liberty we shall have next inside the 13 stars a ring inscribed with the words PERPETUAL UNION; within the ring the allseeing eye, crowned with a halo; beneath this eye the American flag, bearing in its field stars equal to the number of the States united; in the folds of the bars the words GOD, LIBERTY, LAW.

This would make a beautiful coin, to which no possible citizen could object. This would relieve us from the ignominy of heathenism. This would place us openly under the Divine protection we have personally claimed. From my hearth I have felt our national shame in disowning God as not the least of our present national disasters.

To you first I address a subject that must be agitated.

As a result, Secretary Chase instructed James Pollock, Director of the Mint at Philadelphia, to prepare a motto, in a letter dated November 20, 1861:

Dear Sir: No nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in His defense. The trust of our people in God should be declared on our national coins.

You will cause a device to be prepared without unnecessary delay with a motto expressing in the fewest and tersest words possible this national recognition.

It was found that the Act of Congress dated January 18, 1837, prescribed the mottoes and devices that should be placed upon the coins of the United States. This meant that the mint could make no changes without the enactment of additional legislation by the Congress. In December 1863, the Director of the Mint submitted designs for new one-cent coin, two-cent coin, and three-cent coin to Secretary Chase for approval. He proposed that upon the designs either OUR COUNTRY; OUR GOD or GOD, OUR TRUST should appear as a motto on the coins. In a letter to the Mint Director on December 9, 1863, Secretary Chase stated:

I approve your mottoes, only suggesting that on that with the Washington obverse the motto should begin with the word OUR, so as to read OUR GOD AND OUR COUNTRY. And on that with the shield, it should be changed so as to read: IN GOD WE TRUST.

The Congress passed the Act of April 22, 1864. This legislation changed the composition of the one-cent coin and authorized the minting of the two-cent coin. The Mint Director was directed to develop the designs for these coins for final approval of the Secretary. IN GOD WE TRUST first appeared on the 1864 two-cent coin.

Another Act of Congress passed on March 3, 1865. It allowed the Mint Director, with the Secretary's approval, to place the motto on all gold and silver coins that "shall admit the inscription thereon." Under the Act, the motto was placed on the gold double-eagle coin, the gold eagle coin, and the gold half-eagle coin. It was also placed on the silver dollar coin, the half-dollar coin and the quarter-dollar coin, and on the nickel three-cent coin beginning in 1866. Later, Congress passed the Coinage Act of February 12, 1873. It also said that the Secretary "may cause the motto IN GOD WE TRUST to be inscribed on such coins as shall admit of such motto."

The use of IN GOD WE TRUST has not been uninterrupted. The motto disappeared from the five-cent coin in 1883, and did not reappear until production of the Jefferson nickel began in 1938. Since 1938, all United States coins bear the inscription. Later, the motto was found missing from the new design of the double-eagle gold coin and the eagle gold coin shortly after they appeared in 1907. In response to a general demand, Congress ordered it restored, and the Act of May 18, 1908, made it mandatory on all coins upon which it had previously appeared. IN GOD WE TRUST was not mandatory on the one-cent coin and five-cent coin. It could be placed on them by the Secretary or the Mint Director with the Secretary's approval.

The motto has been in continuous use on the one-cent coin since 1909, and on the ten-cent coin since 1916. It also has appeared on all gold coins and silver dollar coins, half-dollar coins, and quarter-dollar coins struck since July 1, 1908.

A law passed by the 84th Congress (P.L. 84-140) and approved by the President on July 30, 1956, the President approved a Joint Resolution of the 84th Congress, declaring IN GOD WE TRUST the national motto of the United States. IN GOD WE TRUST was first used on paper money in 1957, when it appeared on the one-dollar silver certificate. The first paper currency bearing the motto entered circulation on October 1, 1957. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) was converting to the dry intaglio printing process.

P.L. 84-140 recognized that an enormous expense would be associated with immediately replacing the costly printing plates. The law allowed BEP to gradually convert to the inclusion of IN GOD WE TRUST on the currency. Accordingly, the motto is not found on series 1935-E and 1935-F one-dollar notes. By September 1961, IN GOD WE TRUST had been added to the back design of the Series 1935-G notes. Some early printings of this series do not bear the motto.

Tldr.

to sum up tho: "in God we trust" is an unconstitutional motto.

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, for some reason some Americans got really insecure about their faith in the 20th century and just had to "bumper sticker" money and the pledge of allegiance, etc.

The US did just fine without the mottoes before. Why are the faithful so insecure that they have to put god graffiti on everything?

[Clipper Nation]

:lol The Founders weren't even religious. Thomas Paine was a militant atheist who alienated so many Bible-thumpers that only six people showed up to his funeral. Thomas Jefferson was a deist who rewrote the Bible to take all the God and Jesus shit out. John Adams was also a deist.

That's a great point.

No, but I can easily go golfing before or after bagging groceries. But yeah... because it was on the car it HAD to be while he was on duty.

It is such a shame that "intelligent" atheists like yourself show complete lack of vision and make assumptions the same as those with faith. You are so short sighted in your goal to discredit that you refuse to look at all the possibilities out there. I am not saying I am 100% correct, but just that other scenarios exist outside of your linear thought process.

Heh... dense huh? If I am dense, then you must singularity. There is no escape from your dumbness. You might as well give up.

All postulates cannot be correct. Even if one of them is, the overwhelming odds for any theist is that they are wrong. At least as an atheist I am not intellectually giving up the asshole for the thorny cock of the religious mantra, nor do I agree with the reward value should any of them be true.

So the odds say that theists are wrong, but it isn't a complete conclusion. This means that atheism is based on speculation. Kind of like theists.

[DMC]

So the odds say that theists are wrong, but it isn't a complete conclusion. This means that atheism is based on speculation. Kind of like theists.

Even your response shows poor reading comprehension or cognitive ability (or shitty trolling attempts). I didn't say odds are that theists are wrong. I said even if one was right, of all the god beliefs, the odds that any particular belief is right is very low. The odds would be against any particular god belief being correct. However, there's only one god disbelief. Your belief doesn't just supposed the existence of a god, it assigns it attributes in order to be considered a god.

Atheism is based on intellectual honesty. We don't know that a god exists, and there's been no compelling argument for or evidence for the existence of one, so it's no different than any other silly assertion. You certainly don't believe Thor exists, I'd hope. That's at least one god who's existence you seem ok with dismissing.

Theists aren't using speculation, and don't try to close ranks with all theists as if Muslims wouldn't cut your head off when you talk about your Jesus as if he's the son of their Allah. Your religion and the other hundreds don't mesh, so you all have atheism toward other suggested god forms.

You're just one of those people who don't understand epistemology, probably have to even look that word up to know what I'm talking about. You think ignorance of something increases the possibility of it being true. It doesn't. Before you walk into a room you've never seen, the walls are the color they are, and you not knowing those colors doesn't mean they can be any color other than what they are. The possibilities aren't "wide open".

Now...bzzzzzz...BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

[Blake]

So the odds say that theists are wrong

Then it's especially ridiculous to waste time and money on a motto that's probably wrong.

[DMC]

Define these words and then tell everyone how they relate to your case if you are theist:

1. possible
2. knowledge
3. god
4. existence

Proof That God Doesn’t Exist? Say Hello To The Man Who Used To Be Religious, But Isn’t Anymore

Posted Jan. 19, 2015

http://i.onionstatic.com/clickhole/7035/16x9/640.jpg

Get ready to cry, religion lovers. The debate over the existence of God just might have been put to bed at last. Wichita, KS resident Doug Moran used to believe in God, but doesn’t anymore—is he the elusive living proof that God isn’t real and all religions are made-up?

Evangelical Christians and Muslims alike will be eating their words when they learn about Moran, who was raised in a very strict Catholic family and attended all-boys schools his entire life, and yet somehow lost his faith, no longer believes in God, and has stopped following Catholic doctrine.

In fact, Moran says he’s grown skeptical of whether religion, in general, helps society at all. Good luck explaining that one, creationists!

Need to see it for yourself? Here’s Moran at age 9, receiving Holy Communion at a Catholic Church.

http://i.onionstatic.com/clickhole/7019/original/640.jpg

And yet here he is 20 years later, an avowed agnostic who isn’t sure if any kind of higher power, let alone a single all-powerful God, exists.

http://i.onionstatic.com/clickhole/7036/original/640.jpg

Amazing. Can there be any further doubt that we’re all alone in the universe, without guiding light, lost in a dark infinity?

God really is dead!

[Blake]

When you are considering our current knowledge compared to what we don't know in the universe, then of course the possibilities are "wide open".

About as long as it took for you to come up with yours.

Yes. That would be hell though.

Unless you're gay. But then gay God probably would have gone ahead and made everyone gay. So I think it's logical to go ahead and rule out gay God.

Just like we can logically rule out Bible Christian God

So I don't say god did it. I don't believe a god exists, because I've not seen evidence for it. Isn't it ironic that the more extreme the claim the less evidence exists for it?

It's raining: Proof.. rain

God exist.. proof... well if you had proof you wouldn't need faith!

Bad evidence arguments are boring.

[DMC]

What does knowing the number of species on Earth have to do with anything?

Simple actually, since we don't know simple things that have finite answers, we should never rule out infinitely complex suggestions that have no answers.

Religion comes from the period of human prehistory where nobody—not even the mighty Democritus who concluded that all matter was made from atoms—had the smallest idea what was going on. It comes from the bawling and fearful infancy of our species, and is a babyish attempt to meet our inescapable demand for knowledge (as well as for comfort, reassurance, and other infantile needs). Today the least educated of my children knows much more about the natural order than any of the founders of religion. - Hitchens

IMO it is because there is little more repugnant than pretending that Jesus' image being dishonestly represented is a small thing. That shit, and it is shit, was used to genocide mexicans and other natives n and s then later used to justify the pure evil hearts of european slave owners crackin' the whip to build america .

Have nothing against atheist or any other religion....but why is it when you mention Jesus Christ to them or they see the word Jesus they go nuts?Well not all atheist.....Look at Manu he's Atheist and he seems like a down to earth guy.....but the ones that post on here ......forget it....there like Isis.....They want to chop off your head .... :(

well they usually go nuts when Jesus/ God's name is invoked in the secular sector.

Justifiable nut going, imo

Well, it sure as hell isn't me keeping them on. I just don't see the point whether they are on or off. It doesn't bother me. I see offensive crap on bumper stickers all over the place. I also don't believe that the bumper sticker is malicious in nature. I can understand the outrage if those stickers were REQUIRED to be on there because according to the first amendment, no law can be passed to promote religious agenda. If those stickers helps the cops feel safe from harm, then shouldn't we let them? Especially after all of the anti-cop propaganda that is out there. I mean, you most likely aren't a cop, and neither am I. We aren't risking our safety to ensure the safety of others. If we were, we would most likely want to at least have the feeling of being secure and safe with all this bullshit backlash against the police.

At the same time, you aren't a cop who believes in God. How could you possibly understand? You can only see one perspective and that is your own. I have immediate family members who are law enforcement officers and some of the shit they tell me, I can understand why they would feel inclined to place that bumper sticker on their cruiser.

Oh look. More stickers

I'm sure the Muslims in the community feel safer now.

Atheists who claim to be correct don't even know if they are or not. Sounds like a faith statement. Sure you have "evidence", but evidence does not always mean accurate.
