Florida Schools Forced To Display 'In God We Trust'
It's hard to make an argument against posting In God We Trust. It is the national motto. Let's argue to go back to the old motto: "E Pluribus Unum." Then we can get rid of the god thing as a violation of the Establishment Clause.
Separation of church and state?
By the way the only place "E Pluribus Unum." can be found in actual Latin literature from the roman empire is in a recipe for salad dressing.
Few years back, a local Jewish activist filed a lawsuit protesting the cross that was erected over the Vinton County Courthouse. As he pointed out, as a person of the Jewish religion, when he drove into town, it sent a message the made him feel uneasy due to the government sanctioning of the symbol on a government building. It was taken down, but not before some dark mutterings of how it would be better if he not ever drive through McArthur, Ohio in local media's letters to the editor. Just like the guy in the video says.
Should never have been put up on a government building in the first place, as a person of no religion it would have made me feel uneasy too, it basically say Christian lore (as opposed to secular laws) practiced here, and to some one who reads the bible and knows what Biblical law actually entails that is pretty damn scary.
@LenHazell53 It had been up there for years and years. Down here in the hills of Southeast Ohio, the cultural was, until the drug culture started permeating things, was evangelical through and through. They tend to book no other religions.
@yamaha45701 Wow sounds like living in a Stephen King Novel.
