Lawsuit demands US remove 'in God we trust' from money
foxnews.com ^ | 01/15/2016 | n/a

Posted on 01/15/2016 11:09:13 AM PST by massmike

A new lawsuit filed on behalf of several Atheist plaintiffs argues the phrase “In God We Trust” on U.S. money is unconstitutional, and calls for the government to get rid of it.

Sacramento attorney Michael Newdow filed the lawsuit Monday in Akron, Ohio. He’d unsuccessfully sued the government at least twice challenging the use of the phrase “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Throughout much of his lawsuit,the word appears as "G-d".

Newdow claims "In God We Trust" violates the separation of church and state. One plaintiff says his atheism is "substantially burdened because he is forced to bear on his person a religious statement that causes him to sense his government legitimizing,promoting,and reinforcing negative and injurious attitudes not only against atheists in general,but against him personally."

Atheists - They don’t believe in God, but boy do they hate Him.

It was the faith in God that gave us this Country that allows these basta--s atheists a place to live in peace. These pigs are the filth of America to deny what this Country has given them, a place to live and worship the filth they believe in, Satan..

I hope this delicate snowflake spends every contaminated “In God We Trust” dollar he has fighting to protect himself from the trauma of knowing that our country’s motto is on our country’s currency. That will solve his problem nicely.

Considering a lot of religions worship a single major God, exactly which religion, or within that religion, specific denomination, does he think that phrase is “establishing” as a state religion, let alone whether or not a phrase on a coin results in establishing a religion.

If I wipe my butt with toilet paper that says “Allahu Akbar”, does that establish Islam as the religion of my household?

Well, since there is no such thing, I hope the suit is thrown out on its azz along with the jerk Newdow.

If he doesn’t like the money he has with that phrase on it, I’ll be glad to take it off of his hands.

“Just think if he went to Corpus Christi!!”

=

The list is endless.

Even here in New England there are some.

St, Alban’s,VT and St. Botolph St. in Boston. I’m sure there are many others.

The guy is a headcase IMHO.

There is no law stating ‘separation of church and state’ How come people don’t contest that?

What is written in the 1st Amendment, is a prohibition for Congress to establish a state religion, and a prohibition for congress to prohibit the free exercise of religion.

The law suit is backwards and makes no sense. Congress removing ‘in God we trust’ goes against the free exercise of religion. And if they did go ahead removing it, it should be sued under that basis.

I generally don’t wish ill on someone, but this clown is different. It’s time for him to assume room temp.

I’m just tired for listening to him caterwaul incessantly about how his rights are being violated.

My rights to peace and serenity are being violated by this jackwit and I’m tired of it.

Bowie is dead, Rickman is dead, but Michael Newdow is still alive? That SOB will probably outlive Keith Richards.
