IN GOD WE TRUST

It used to be darlin, I have been asking that until I am blue in the face, and nobody seems to be able to give me an answer.

I haven't seen any such signs in my post office.

Because we have to get rid of everything for the ultra crazies that think everything America does is wrong

Isn't this America?

That answers your question. Yes, this is America, where not everyone is obligated to believe in your god.

I thought we weren't a right wing theocracy.

If you believe in God then BELIEVE in Him.

Why do you need society to reinforce your religion for you all the time and bolster your faith?

Just BELIEVE !!!

Sandy- You are right, not everyone is obligated to believe in my God. However, because this is America, I don't have to hid my God and my faith from those who don't believe. I will continue to say In God We Trust, Merrry Christmas and God Bless America because we live in a great nation where ALL can believe as we like.

Jean, by US laws, there must be a separation of church(here you can put your own or
any other's belief) and of state (our governing bodies).

While it is true that the majority of the Founding Fathers believed in Almighty God, they
did not want any one religion or church to gain control of our government. Thus, keep
church(religious beliefs) and state separate from each other.

Because the American Civil Liberties Union(a group supposedly formed to insure the liberties of all Americans) decided that having religious (Christian) statements in public
places violated the liberties of any one not Christian (Muslims, Budhists, Atheists, Gnostics, Pagans, Wiccans, I apologize because I can't remember them all) they should
be removed from any public place.

We are free, all Americans, to worship as we chose, we are not free to allow our religious beliefs to be imposed on others, and others are not free to impose their beliefs on us.

I hope you understand that no one can take away your belief, but you can't publish that belief to the public in government buildings.

Like Elizabeth, I have never seen such signs.

Regardless of which side you are on, if you are interested in this issue, there is an excellent book - American gospel : God, the founding fathers, and the making of a nation by John Meacham

I have never seen that in a post office. I have seen it other places but not there. I have to agree "In God we Trust" has no place in ANY government building. How would you likke it if I insisted on putting up signs that said "Wonkentonka Lives"? Maybe you would prefer "The Great Spirit Watches Over Us."?

I'm only a demi-god myself but right here on Gather we have Charles Theissen, a full fledged accredited god. I'm disappointed I've never seen references to him in public buildings.

One of the cool things about this country is that people are allowed to practice any religion they want. There's no reason to have religious displays in public buildings. People have churches and homes where they can display anything they like.

i agree
