Atheist to sue over 'In God We Trust' on money

SACRAMENTO, Calif. The atheist who's spent years trying to ban recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools says he'll file a new lawsuit this week.

Michael Newdow says he'll ask a federal court to order removal of the national motto "In God We Trust" from U-S coins and currency. He says it violates the religious rights of atheists who belong to his "First Amendment Church of True Science."

The church's "three suggestions" are "question, be honest and do what's right." Newdow says it wouldn't be right to take up a collection when the money says "In God We Trust."

Last year, the Supreme Court dismissed Newdow's lawsuit over the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance because he doesn't have custody of his daughter, in whose name the lawsuit was filed.

Newdow has resurrected that case by filing an identical lawsuit on behalf of two families.

Someone needs to take a hot iron and brand In God We Trust on Newdow's brow.

The assault on traditional beliefs continues.

Note to Athiest: I'll be happy to take all your "In God we trust", money off your hands and replace it dollar for dollar with Monoply money.

"Someone needs to take a hot iron and brand In God We Trust on Newdow's brow."

Better yet, just see that his pay comes to him in the form of pesos.

Then kick his arse when he bitches about that.

I wonder how this puke intends to spin this one to include his daughter. Oh, no, it can't be merely about a bitter atheist who hates being surrounded by Christians, can it? Or perhaps because having God as the supreme moral authory stands in the way of the "do whatever feels good" social Marxists...nah...

I can't wait until the SCOTUS b*tch-slaps him down on this one. We'll hear the wailing from SF all the way over here on the shores of the Atlantic.

This guy can try to remove God all he wants.

Stalin tried to do the same thing. He failed, too.

So he's created a phony church so that he claim religious persecution. This tool, Newdow, really is a hate-filled slime ball.
