"Remove "In God we trust" from legal tender" Petition on Whitehouse.gov

[Mister Cheese]

Just once I'd like to see an issue be taken seriously without half the forum turning to hostile adolescent debate mode.

Sig'd.

What if we printed half of the bills with in god we trust and the other half of the dollars with e pluribus unum.

THis is how the people in charge argue it anyway.

Its not just on the dollar, its the nation's motto. Also not everyone is the common man.

oh and also, the topic is about a petition to remove it from currency,  so it's irrelevant if it's the motto.
THe topic is about legal tender, and I was talking about legal tender.

I think we auta keep the motto on it. Its the MOTTO and it should always stay on it. Just like how my states motto is "United we stand divided we fall" its on the flag and everything and we ain't taking it off.

[Cucumber!]

I don't really see the point...

I would like it if we switched back to the coin standard and didn't kill stufftons of trees for currency.

Bills are made of a cloth like material, not entirely out of wood.

Yup

you are dumb
he meant his individual state's flag. Are you american? it's understandable if you aren't because we are handicapped with the use of the word state.

The majority of the composition of money is cotton I believe.

Is this really such a big issue we needed a petition about it? I mean, we have to deal with issues of Abortion, Birth Control... Wondering if we should have "In God we trust" on the back of our currency? Seriously, who the forget cares? Don't try giving me that "separating religion from state" bullstuff, one of the bases of freedom in this country was Freedom of Religion. Of course, they fought for the main religion at the time for them, Christianity. However, it is a part of history. This generation's youth should know what the Founding Fathers fought for.

The founding fathers weren't christian. This motto was made in 1965, not when the country was founded. Read the loving first post.

Then we shouldn't have changed it in the first place, or did you not read the first post/link either?

Agh, I can't read.  I'm going to bed.
