In my lifetime we have sacrificed many precious lives to help those that want righteousness. Can we ever teach our children any better way? The rebellion is in our mitts, God is watching over us, he is the umpire. Make the WORD meaninful. George Washington said:

A stupid request unless the mint is creating all new casting molds. As far as the "in God we trust" our government is founded on freedom of religion, and all religions have a God or Gods, so if one is to carefully read each coin as they handle it, the phrase is quite adaptable to one's own interpretation. Now whoever brought up the question can sit back, relax, get a life and start doing something to HELP the current problems of the world.

I agree with Ronald Reagan, "If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under." I personally feel the act of moving the motto to the edge of the coin was another step toward it's removal. Our founding fathers may not have had, "In God We Trust", on their currency in their day but,they had that motto in their heart. I'd rather each person have Jesus in their heart than to have it etched on a coin, yet it's a matter of principle. How many will join me in holding fast to this verse? 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Read: John 3:16....In Christian Love~ In God We Trust, needs to stay on all of our currency.

The point isn't about when it was approved but that it stay there. In the U.S. the majority rules, that is democracy. If the word God offends you remember, you are in the U.S. and as such you are here by choice not because anybody forced you to come here. When In Rome Do As....does it ring any bells!

The motto didn't appear on any coins until the 2¢ piece was issued in 1864. It wasn't on all circulating denominations until the first half of the 20th century. It wasn't on ANY paper bills until the 1957 series of $1 bills and 1963 series of $5 bills. I have no problems with the presence of the motto, but it's NOT something the Founding Fathers demanded or even considered. Think about it. We won WWI and WWII without the motto, but lost Vietnam WITH the motto, so it somehow seems to me that whether it's on our money or not hasn't really helped. Faith isn't in the material symbols we wave about, it's what we believe in our heads and hearts. HELLLLOOOOOO …
