QUESTION After Mass Shooting, FL House Votes to Put “In God We Trust” Signs in Schools – Friendly Atheist
The bill (HB 839) would require all public schools to post the state motto, “In God We Trust,” in a “conspicuous place.”
Sponsor Rep. Kim Daniels, a Jacksonville Democrat who runs her own ministry, said Florida needed the legislation, given the goings on in the state.
“He is not a Republican or a Democrat. He is not black or white,” Daniels said. “He is the light, and our schools need light in them like never before.”
She spoke directly of the school shooting, and said it’s no secret that the state has “gun issues” that must be addressed.
“But the real thing that needs to be addressed are issues of the heart,” Daniels said.I’m sure the students in Parkland feel better already. If only these signs were in classrooms last week....

Please somebody clarify this for me. They are actually convinced that by hanging a sign saying "In god we trust" in each classroom...the criminals won't massacre anybody? What's next? Garlic and salt over the shoulder?

Lol
There are more states drafting these type of laws putting some religious sign in a classroom. They buy into the idea that it is all due to their God being ignored.
Yes, it would have been a great comfort, reading that sign as they were being gunned down.

The strangest thing was when the Charleston church was murdered as they were in service. these people were dearly close to their god and they actually showed extreme grace after the shooting. Now for these other religious bigots, go screw yourself

I agree 100% and add also that IF this Mighty God can't protect HIS own Believers in HIS OWN House/Houses then he must be either totally barbaric or utterly Impotent, not Omnipotent.
Someone finally figured out how to stop these horrible shootings!!!

Well, I think that sign should go all around the school 6 feet tall as bullets and guns are bound to stop working and bullets will just bounce off.

Yeah, that'll be real helpful.

I think they should post "where the hell were You?" Signs, and discuss!

This might be helpful... If the signs are bullet proof.

This really pisses me off. Before long we'll be making laws about women being modestly covered before they can walk outside.
