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....

Such b.s. That is not going to make a difference. If god did exist where was he protecting all that have been killed? Idiots!

Either the kids were dirty sinners or God was too busy worrying about LGBT rights and how his minions can take them away.

How big are those signs? Can students hide behind them? Are they bulletproof? Or is this a stupid empty gesture, by greedy, coward politicians, bought off by the NRA to do absolutely nothing but to help sell more guns?

Reprehensible politician taking advantage of an 'emotional' moment to further their personal agenda in spite of the law.

Well, God hasn't done such a bang-up job keeping folks safe in churches. Just more knee-jerk game playing to strengthen the mind-controlling right-wingers.

This should stop those shooters

"In God We Trust," now that has to be epitome of epitomes.
Has this Imaginary, Invisible Supreme Entity ever once actually stepped in a 'Godly' manner and stopped either a bullet or an idiot Yank from shooting up innocents?

It is really sad but not surprising that people evade responsibility for any sane actions by these trite sayings and aren't universally called on it.

Obviously,that doesn't work. Not even for his own son.
