Putting "In God we trust" on money is like saying money is your God and that's what you put your trust in. It makes sense, actually, since money will get far more results than God ever did. For example, you can pray for food to just appear magically in your fridge, or you can buy the food with money and put it in your fridge. I know which of those options will yield faster results.

Quote from: "PickelledEggs"A facebook acquaintance of mine posted this. How is mandatory trust in god a part of the first amendment?
I wonder how many of these facebook bible thumpers actually know what the first amendment actually is?

I also wonder. I imagine many of these people believe the first amendment is just a picture of Jesus or something.

I've had people tell me that "Freedom of religion" did not mean you didn't have to be a part of religion.

People like that treat the constitution like everything else. They just make stuff up as they go.
