Thankfully, not all atheists and agnostics are idiots. Just the ones that are like this group of nutjobs.

We should be having the biggest demonstration in US history in front of that building demanding the “In God We Trust” are engraved on that building.

Don't we know the nature of the battle? They are going to kill this nation with little drips. Little drips can sink ships. Little drips bleeding away the concept that all authority comes from God, and only the individual, as the duly authorized representative of God, can delegate that authority to the state.

Out grandchildren are being set up to be slaves of the state. Once that process is complete, never will there be freedom of the individual. It will be the tyranny of the collective.

I’m getting the urge to write it on every sidewalk square in this Town.

Sidewalk chalk is cheap. It washes away in the rain but that should mean that it isn’t vandalism since the property isn’t actually damaged (as is the case with spray paint).

I am admittedly a non-religious person. So naturally I don’t get why people feel a need to emblazon public buildings with the icons and phrases of their particular religion, implicitly relegating the religious beliefs of others to a lower status.

No one would tolerate for a minute the idea that we might inscribe the name of Allah, Vishnu, or Buddha on our public buildings.

Religion is a personal thing, not something that needs to be engraved into buildings used by everyone. There are many people in this country who are either non-religious or not of the Christian religion. That comes with a nation of 300 million people.

Your freedom to go to church, to read, study, and abide by the Bible, and worship God is perfectly intact even if “In God We Trust” isn’t engraved on a public building.

If they are atheists, then they believe that there is no such thing as God. There for even if the letters spelling this out are placed on the building they should be incapable of seeing them since they do not exist in their world.
End of story.

I really don’t need to tell the fine people of the FR community this but this campaign has nothing to do with a sign but everything to do with a systematic campaign to destroy America’s historically foundational and beneficially enabling institutions. It’s a vile endeavor.
