A few thoughts and a few questions inspired from reading the thread 'Kicking God to the curb':

In God we trust being on our money seen as offensive to other religions.
How?Don't they believe in God too?Unless you count atheists,communists,humanists and other alledged non religions that are promoted,advocated and defended by their adherents just as zealously as any 'devoted' religionist would their own religion.
(That makes those ideologies equal to a religion,,doesn't it?)
In God we trust being on our currency is a 'christian thing'.
The name of God is not God in any religion.The word God is a title,,not a name.
The Christians have allmost as many different 'names' of god as their are sects of christians.
(Hey,,how come when Islamists say 'Allah',,everyone accepts it as okay because they say it means God but when a Christian says God,,everyone acts like it is a different word all of a sudden and get all offended?)
God being a basis for the 'inalienable rights' our constitution says we have.
If the phrase 'Our Creator' does NOT mean 'God' then who is the human or alien it refers to as being the one who 'created' us?
IF there is no 'creator' then there is no entity with the authority over 'inalienable rights' to endow them on us.
(No creator = no inalienable rights)
Since 'our creator' is synonymous with the title God then to NOT show trust in God in a tiny way like putting it on our currency is equal to not trusting the idea that a creator endowed us with inalienable rights.
All this anti God rhetoric equals an attack on the foundation of the Constitution.
(Witout a 'creator' there are no inalienable rights,ya'll!!!!Read the document,,it says it plainly.)
The idea that 'God belongs in people's heart and soul, not the government.':
Read this,,it explains how it is pure idiocy to think church and state can actually be separated:

The way contemporary christians are claimed to be equal to the 'infamously notoriously violent and corrupt' church systems of the past that committed such atrocities as the inquisitions and crusades or even burnt alledged witches.
Doing this displays a bigoted mindset.In the exact same way that someone who said anyone that doesn't believe in the God of the Christians is equally the same as any who also did not believe in God and have committed atrocious deeds in the past.
(IOW,,saying the christians of today are in some way being like those old time 'alledged' christians is like saying an atheist is acting like all the communists,nazis,muslims,dagonites,sodomites,vikings,picts or any other that didn't believe in the Judeo-Christian God down through history.)
As a Christian that has not been indoctrinated by any 'organised religion' and finds most 'mainstream religions' acting very different from what logic says they should be based on what they claim they base it on,,I agree that such religions as Roman Cathloticism that place such weight on any one man is devoid of the wisdom contained in the Judeo-Christian 'Bible'.
The real funny thing about that is that the Judeo-Christian religion contains the concepts of 'revile NOT the gods',obey rulers,don't punish the children for the fathers sins,show mercy,respect elders,,,oh yeah,,and forgiveness along with no need for blood sacrifices.
And as to the Hebrew/Judeo-Christian form of slavery,,if you get released after 6 years,,exactly how is that equal to what we consider as slavery today?
(Theorectically,,if you had a choice,out of all the cultures that ever had,,or still do have slavery,which culture would you 'rather' be enslaved by?)
Lastly for this piece,,
~If this country were
"founded on christian values" it certainly wouldn't be a democracy would it?~
It is.Isn't it?
And BTW,,you have to admit,,if the majority weren't christians of one sort or another,,and you disagreed with their take on religion,,they would just imprison or kill you,,now wouldn't they?
(look around the world today,,which religion is doing the 'convert or die' thing?Christians?)
Come on,all you who reject the idea of God and His involvement through the Judeo-Christian ideology in our countries origins and how THAT IS what made us as great as we once were,take the blinders off,,reject the conditioning,,don't let the state continue turning generations of Americans into 'state worshipping worker drones'.
Face it,,since the 30's,,there has been 'increasingly intense' opposition to the concept of the J-C God in our country and there has been a corresponding decline in the peaceful,noble qualities which has contributed to the overall degeneration of the social and cultural environment of this country that seemed to kick in around the early 60's,,aboout the time Kennedy was assassinated.
And that decline is directly responsible for the character of the 'politician pool' (on all party sides lately) which voters can select their candidates from.
THAT couldn't/wouldn't happen IF the educational atmosphere hadn't been dominated by anti-religious individuals which catered to their own particular doctrinesm,beliefs and ideologies.Just like with any other human,,those 'personal,internal agendas color and influence the policies,procedures,practices and philosophies which control our educational systems curricuulum.
Now,,if only more people would look at the overall patterns that develope from the antics of their politicians and see how most have been 'dumbed down' sufficiently to start removing the 'authority above state' through telling the public it's for their own good and is 'insuring they retain those inalienable rights endowed by a 'Creator God' they deny exists or has any place in the minds if the men leading them.
HOW MORONIC IS THAT?
I have to say,,I am disgusted at the idiocy the public school system has indoctrinated the citizens of this country into accepting as sound logical thinking in regards to our constitution and the concepts actually espoused in them.
But,,that's just the opinion of a Christian,hetero,DANG-DInGIE American,,you know,,an Evil White Cracker of mixed immigrant ancestry,,the only demographic with no guarantee of 'equal treatment under the law' written into our laws,,who can't vote,,so who's gonna listen?
