A Missouri sheriff has slapped In God We Trust decals on patrol cars saying there is no better time than now to be displaying the national motto.
Sheriff Doug Rader of Stone County in the Ozarks said he was proud to announce that the decals are now on the back of department vehicles, but not everyone is pleased, Fox2Now reports.
Very simple and ill state for the record, Im not offended that these decals exist, ITS INAPPROPRIATE TO HAVE THEM ON GOVERNMENT PROPERTY. No voting required, its a violation of church and state. You are showing preference to a religion, how is this such a mystery? Nathan Belden said in a comment posted on the Sheriffs Facebook page.
The station said some are also questioning where the money came from to pay for the decals. The Sheriffs Department said it used money donated from local businesses to buy them, not taxpayer funds.

Brave sheriff. Expect major attacks from the usual suspects.
I hope he doesn't cave.
In god we trust is our national motto and it’s plastered all over our currency.
Maybe they shouldnt be arresting people for murder, or theft...since those are also part of the 10 commandments.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Our sheriff here just did that, too. It’s a CONSPIRACY!
The problem in America is God and especially Jesus has been relegated to a position approachable only at the risk of your job or life
This August, at the school board meeting, I will announce that determination by the USSC, state that I don't need further "permission" than the Constitution, and I will open our board meeting with prayer.
Stay tuned ....and spread the word;
Ding Dong The Witch is DEAD !!!
PS ... watch ... after you and I get this ball rolling, how the lame stream will come to the defense of the truth of the letter Jefferson wrote The same lame stream that demanded the wall of separation was in the Constitution.
Thank you Sheriffs for standing up for God (not Allah)
We made a mistake in ever caving in to these godless, atheistic, hedonistic animals. We thought we were compromising in the interest of civility. But they’re not going to be happy until all the righteous are in internment camps.
How does a police department putting a sticker on their cars equate to CONGRESS establishing a national religion?
These people need to be slapped down HARD.
In god we trust is our national motto and its plastered all over our currency.
I just looked at a $20.
Well, Crap. It said “IN GOD WE TRUST”. But there was also a picture of Andrew Jackson on the other side.
So we need an executive order: All $20 currency are deemed illegal. Burn them all.
Nathan Belden needs to be told to pound sand.
Send me all your 20 dollar bills and I will properly dispose of them.
LOL
You know, Knarf, that’s it. “Come and get me!” I had a local worship leader come talk to our middle school students - at lunch time. I was a volunteer, introducing kids to real people doing real jobs. He said, “I probably cannot pray with them, tho, can I?” I said, “Well, I’ll be in jail with you and they’ll have egg on their faces if they squawk!!” He sang some of his beautiful worship songs, then prayed for the kids. There were about 60 there. It was lovely.
What’s the worst? You end up in jail? for the Lord? not a bad testimony.
4th stanza of the Star Spangled Banner:
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
I wish police departments all over the country would start putting that motto on the patrol cars to send a loud clear message!
Well, it's a mystery as to exactly what religion would that be. I don't see any religion. What religion do you see, Nathan?
If you burn them you are guilty of destroying government property, the penalties for that can be rather sever.
Every body just send all your twenty dollar bills to me and I will see to it that they are properly and legally disposed of.
Just add “All Others Pay Cash.”
There is no debate. It on the money in every deputies wallet why not on the cars? If we don’t trust God then who? Obama? Sorry I just threw that in for a laugh............
Having lived in the Ozarks for years I can say that there are no better people on the planet. They love God, their country and it’s rich Christian heritage. God Bless these brave cops and their beliefs. They need all the support they can get these days. True patriots!
I wonder what the opponents of the motto “In God We Trust”use for money.
